Obama never ceases to AMAZE me.

What doe this have to do with watching television? You should have posted this under Politics where you would probably find a number of people who would agree with you. Frankly, at this point in time, what's wrong with gay marriage. It used to be illegal for blacks and whites to marry, what's wrong with gays? The primary opposition to gay marriage seems to come from the religious right but don't we live in a country that is supposed to separate church and state? You seem to be a homophobe and possibly a bigot.

I thought it was interesting that right before taking a side that a new study came out that said 52% of Americans now have either no opinion or approve. It was the highest number of approval or acceptance rate in history.

Hello celticeagle. I have stopped listening to Obama a long time ago. I got tired of listening to him bash Bush and the congress. He has gotten accustomed to luxury of the White House and wants t o stay. He is for every group he talks to. I don't think he is pro-gay just will say any thing to stay where is is. Hates the idea of packing all the things he has accumulated over the four years.

I think that every single person mentally capable of discerning their buttocks from a hole in the ground realizes that this is political posturing at its finest. President Obama is just trying to rally support to recreate that fervor and the anticipatory excitement of "hope and change" that originally sprung up in 2008 but has withered on the vine for four years refusing to bear fruit. We all know the game. However, for gay marriage and its many advocates, it's a victory just to have him publicly say the words. It doesn't matter if he means it or not. He's Obama. He's the face of America. He's the most powerful leader in the world. His loose, empty rhetoric has more power in a 10-second soundbite than the entire movement has in a decade of protests. That somehow someone as charismatic and brilliant and as well-spoken as President Obama could speak those words and put gay marriage in the forefront and make it a priority over unemployment and record debt and no budget is, to its proponents, invaluable. One thing I can say for the man: He definitely knows how to play a messianic role for people--all people, any people--seeking a champion for their cause. Half of it is how he's received, of course, as anyone can sit there and say something. He never follows through with substance or action on these great stances he's triumphed for, like supposedly being for the downtrodden and the broken and the neglected. But his mere vocalization of things seems to send people into an enthused delirium. Obama's been thinking about 2012-16 since he gave his acceptance speech in 2008. I'm cynical enough to think that most of what he does is to hold office for another term. And I'm stubborn enough to keep thinking it until I see something to change my mind.

Seems to me like someone is trying to score some "Politically correct" points, regardless of what he truly believes. Really when you think about it, I'm not sure what Obama really believes honestly any more. And really when you think about it, I'm not even sure if Obama knows what Obama believes any more. That really is the fact about it. Then again, the opposition isn't much better, but as you look at the past four years, really things have not improved under him. As election time comes closer, we're have many other realizations from people, where they campaign saying that they are rather for things and really, they will say anything to get elected. It's not just Obama. Everything that anyone running that comes out of their mouth is a calculated move to get elected.

Cheers to Obama! no matter whether it's his way to get high votes during election or he's just really serious. More celebrities and hosts are happy of the President's decision too. Elen, Neil Patrick Harris and Lady Gaga raised their thumbs up too ;))

it does seem like he just says or does whatever will keep him in there, then when he has to go back on his word, he blames Bush or the republicans. OR he makes it seem like a race issue. now i never cared for republic party, but my grandpa would roll over in his grave if he seen how the democrates have changed into serve their own cause types. i dont think we are ever going to get a decent president again

i just had this conversation with my hubby and i told him the same thing you said now obamah is for the gay marriages and hubby without a beat beat me to saying yeah its a political move on his part he wants to get all the gay people to viote for him when i would say he did'nt just wake up one day and say im for gay people being married , he found a loop hole to get more votes that is all.. that is not a subject that you just realzise all at once either you are for it or against it you dont go and change your mind like he said he did its not true.. just his plot for votes..
