Barack Obama is on record saying he believes a marriage is between a man and a women.
Homosexual marriage rates extremely very low with the American people in general.
The people of California has voted same sex marriage down twice and so has the people of Oregon,the people have spoke but dose this government ever care what the people of the United States has to say about any thing?
My only question is there any thing more sacred to Barack Obama then Barack Obama?

Obama follows through, files to repeal DOMA
Jim Brown and Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 8/18/2009 6:20:00 AMBookmark and Share

President Barack H. ObamaA conservative black pastor in Washington, DC, is expressing outrage over President Obama's decision to file a legal brief in support of repealing the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).



A new brief filed yesterday by Justice Department lawyer Scott Simpson declares that the Obama administration "does not support DOMA as a matter of policy," and "believes that the Act is discriminatory and should be repealed by Congress." In a written statement, President Obama states that he has "long held that DOMA prevents LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered] couples from being granted equal rights and benefits." (See earlier story) In fact, as a U.S. senator representing Illinois, Obama stated his support for "the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act."

Good, now I can say he's working to do some good while in office. It's about time that unconstitutional piece of trash gets dealt with. I can't believe it's been in effect for so long.

Great responses, Latrivia and psychotaz! Let me just point out that whether one is personally against same-sex marriage is a separate issue from whether the federal government should be interfering in state decisions on such matters. Bear in mind that Senator McCain is personally against it, but his position on the *legality* of such things is that it should be left up to the states--meaning, DOMA should be repealed. Had he won the election in November, we would probably be looking at a similar decision. This isn't just about gay marriage; it's about states' rights.
