Barack Obama is the First President to Back Gay Marriage

For some reason I'm not as happy about this as I was about Biden's support. I think it's because Biden's comments really did seem a lot more genuine than what the POTUS said. I don't think this was an "election year" statement, because by saying he supports same-sex marriage he runs the risk of losing as many votes as he'll gain. I think this was more "Well Joe said something, I've been skirting the issue, it's going to look bad if I don't say anything at all".

Either way, for the LGBT Americans who wish to be married, and the allies who take this up as a flagship issue, this is probably good news.
