Last week, Barack Obama went on record as the first American president to support same-sex marriage, but he doesn't appear ready to take his commitment beyond the endorsement stage.

"My justice department has said to the courts, we don't think the Defense of Marriage Act is constitutional," the president said in advance excerpts released by the network. "This is something that historically had been determined at the state level and part of my believing ultimately that civil unions weren't sufficient."

Let the Obama bashing begin!
I'm sure Whoopee wil have a question or five for him.
Marriage is an agreement between 1 man 1 woman and 1 God. government has no place in that agreement. God destroyed the cities of sodom and gammorha for a reason. where do you think the word sodomy comes from?
being gay is a mental illness comparable to adhd or bipolar disorder. its a chemical imbalance in the brain. it can be fixed the same way adhd is fixed – by putting them in special ed and force feeding them medication. THATS CALLED EQUAL RIGHTS FOR PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS.
He's one of the greatest presidents America has ever had.
