@meinhofblues I think that's an oversimplification of what Obama said. He is correct that it's primarily a state's issue.

@meinhofblues He's been saying that all along. His admin stopped defending DOMA, which is most the Feds can really do on the subject.

@meinhofblues OK. One of BHO's problems is that he used too many Bush-era "counter-terrorism" powers. So I don't think he should overreach.

@meinhofblues It's a fair point but it doesn't therefore mean that Obama should assume unwarranted power to change state/local marriage laws
