Thanks but that doesn't answer my question. I was just wondering if you were doing the same thing I was doing a couple of weeks ago. I was expecting the president to stop gay marriage, or else.

All the President can do is throw his support behind the amendment and use the bully pulpit to persuade Congress to take up the matter. Constitutionally, the amendment process is solely within the purview of the U.S. Congress and the many states. The President has no legitimate vested authority in the matter beyond that of being a citizen.
