What is the difference between a President who supports gay marriage and a President who does not support gay marriage if neither support any legislation on gay marriage?
Psst...8th Grade Civics lesson: The President is part of the Executive branch and is not responsible for originating LEGISLATION. That would be the Legislative branch...aka Congress.

What is the point Obama commenting on gay marriage or ANY legislative issue for that matter? Maybe Obama failed 8th grade civics.
Obamacare was rammed through a still Dem-majority congress. He's not going to fight like that for gay marriage for several reasons: He no longer has a Dem-majority Congress. Gays generally already supported him, but he's lost some supporters who were against gay marriages. Marriage is a state not a federal issue. Pick one.

It would be hilarious if Obama failed civics.

No, I'm not saying that.

He didn't fight for gay marriage because it won't get him re-elected. Obamacare has a chance at getting him re-elected if he can convince enough people that it's actually a viable healthcare solution.

Maybe because this is not a federal issue? But who would expect a constitution scholar to know what he can and can not do legally.
