I intend on writing him a politely worded letter asking him to reconsider. I would not ask him to abandon any personal values of his, but I would ask his administration to stay out of the issue.
[EDIT]: Actually, my admittedly cynical suspicion is that Obama will go end up making some token gestures to homosexual rights to help court the gay vote before the next general election. By that point, he can say that he was wrong before and was moved by the heartfelt reaction of those in the gay community after his earlier policies, thereby gaining a stronger sympathy vote. If that is the case, it is a well played Machiavellian act.
