I'm in favor of gay rights and I'm not gay.
I'm in favor of gun control and I have never been threatened by a gun.
I'm in favor of coverage of pre-existing conditions and I have none.
I'm in favor of universal contraceptive coverage even though I don't need it.
I'm in favor of more equitable taxation, although I make a decent salary.

Obama has done next to nothing for my interests.

I still support him.
