What the President Said.
Gibbs' response is completely reasonable. I support the right to gay marriage as much as anyone else, but it is the Justice Department's job -- and the President's in that context -- to uphold the law.
This blog called out the Bush administration for politicizing the Justice Department. Obama shouldn't politicize it either. Obama's avenue to advocate for a policy change is though the legislature (to repeal DOMA) and the military (to repeal don't ask don't tell). Leave the Justice Department alone to uphold current law like it's supposed to.
