The Defense of Marriage Act, signed into law by President Clinton in 1996, protects states from having to recognize same-sex marriages contracted in other states. Ordinarily, under the "Full Faith and Credit Clause" of the Constitution, states are required to recognize "the public Acts, Records and judicial Proceedings of every other State."
"Obama also believes we need to fully repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally recognized unions," his campaign Web site says.
Obama has emerged as the likely Democratic presidential nominee, and California has become the second state where the local Supreme Court has decreed a right to same-sex marriage.

Worst thing that could happen to any country. OBAMA!
He makes Hillary seem palatable!
Well, I would not go that far, but he is to her left.
Awesome video:
The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
He will try to spin out of it just like he is doing with his “unconditional meetings with our enemies” position.
This guy wants to be our President and control our government.
Pay close attention to the last comment!! Below are a few lines from Obama’s books. These are passages in his own words:
From Dreams of My Father: ‘I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.’
From Dreams of My Father: ‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.’
From Dreams of My Father: ‘There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.’
From Dreams of My Father: ‘It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.’
From Dreams of My Father: ‘I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image,
the black man, son of Africa, that I had packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.’
And here's the clincher: (grab on to something when you read this:)
From Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’

Is there any doubt of his intention.
The other significant factor with the Federal DOMA is that it defines marriage as man/woman for federal purposes. So same-sex marriages aren’t recognized by the federal government.
Presumeably if DOMA were repealed, then the federal government would not define marriage at all. Then courts would probably force the feds to recognize any marriage from any state, however any state defines marriage.
Obama has said that he opposes same-sex marriage, yet he wants to repeal the federal law on the subject. How does this make sense?
From Audacity of Hope: I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
He is now and always has been a Muslim. Calling that building that housed the Rev Wright a Christian church is an abomination.
Indeed, damning. If true.
