So now the Obama Administration believes the Defense of Marriage Act signed into law by Bill Clinton is unconstitutional. The law defines marriage as being between one man and one woman.
Meanwhile, Obama himself still believes that marriage should be between one man and one woman. Ergo, Obama personally favors something he believes is unconstitutional.
He's supposed to be brilliant, especially on matters of Constitutional law. It appears that he is actually confused about such things as evidenced by his running contradiction.
Imagine if George W. Bush took such a confusing and incoherent stance.
And Clinton is/was a lawyer.

"IS" Clinton still a lawyer? LOLLOLLOLLOL!!!
Seriously, I thought he was disbarred for perjury . . .
. . . you know, that-crime-without-a-statute-of-limitations in North Carolina that lawyers don't take seriously.

Jonah Goldberg:
"There’s good reason to believe that Obama has always been lying — yes, lying — about opposing gay marriage. For example, in 1996, he told the Windy City Times, “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.” But by 2004, Obama very much wanted to be president, and he understood that supporting gay marriage would be a political liability. So he opted for something other than honesty. And in a 2004 interview with a gay publication, Obama strongly hinted his opposition was strategic, not philosophical.
'Everything we know and admire about President Obama makes the claim that he doesn’t support the freedom to marry very unconvincing,' Evan Wolfson, the director of the gay-rights group Freedom to Marry, told the Huffington Post last August.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney insists that the president still opposes same-sex marriage. But Carney was quick to note that the president has said his views on the matter are 'evolving.' Translation: He could completely change his mind at any moment."

Perhaps this is why Roch won't condemn Obama as a "bigot". Roch knows Obama was lying when he said he opposed same-sex marriages.
