"marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf" The American Army is fighting on behalf of the United States and not Obama. The man is so narcissistic that he cannot say anything without attributing it to himself and without using at least several I-s or me-s. He sees his support eroding and now is trying to court the gay vote. For gays nothing will change since individual states are supposed to enact the law.

There are ill-winds blowing in our future.. Obama seems as indifferent to American values and demands, as Nero did while Rome burned. I can assure you that America, in it's majority, is against same sex marriage, and the president will pay dearly for this foul admission. I dont care about what his kids think,( Ivory tower kids have a way of misunderstanding, due to their ages, and proximity to luxury and security) and I'd rather he(the president) wouldn't use them for these types of monumental 'evolutions' anyway. No disrespect to the children. Do his children even equate the fact that the 'rights' they espouse,( or, in their young view, that they couldn't 'conceive' of that being strange or wrong in some way) would mean the fact they could not have come into being, had they're 'parents', decided to be of the same sex? Doubtful anybody has been that honest with them. Biden? Really? Don't let him speak for more than the time it takes to say his name! It's a hell of a strategy for trying to get grandchildren! It may someday come back to haunt him, his OK-ness with gay marriage. Just sayin'... What next? Farm animals may marry the farm owners!!? Cars may marry they're mechanics! ( oh yeah, that already happens!) Lol. Shalom Israel, Rob

Obama is pandering to popular sentiment where it is fashionable to support queer marriages. He is immoral and just tries to be a popular dude but he is a disaster.

Our bafoon of a president made history again! Yeah, he made history in 2008 as well & we see how that turned out. He is only pandering. If he really wanted to "make a stand" for gay marriage he would've said he was going to try to enact federal law instead of leaving it to the states. He's nothing more than an cheap leftist in the best suit the American taxpayer can buy.

Oh we going to hell

I happen to be in favor of gay marriage. However, if a gay married couple ever flies a passenger plane into a skyscraper...I promise to re-think my position.. It's time to we realize where the real threat to our civilization is coming from...and it's not from people wanting nothing more than to have the same rights their fellow citizens do.

Plumbing the atheist depths, Obama is sticking two fingers at religious USA

Some of us are old enough to remember the 1980 presidential debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan where Carter noted asking his barely 13-year old what the most important issue was and she said "nuclear weapons". Now Obama is taking cues on social policy from his even younger kids!

I really wish this guy would stop with the crap! He's only saying he supports gay marriage because he's losing votes! Even members of his own party are distancing themselves from him. If he really wanted to "take a stand" he would've done it between 2007 and maybe 2011 without the helpof a teleprompter! Secondly, it is a sad day when we think that our children are capable of making rational, sound decisions whenit comes to moral issues. That's another reason they were given "parents". Children have no experience in which to base their decisions! I'm not saying children should be kept quiet or have no opinions at all but parents should give their children guidance when it comes to moral integrity. O, pardon me, I forgot that he is morally BANKRUPT!!!

America god fearing? ye right.... you forget who put him in this position.. the American voters. he hates the jews , he hates god , and he's sleeping with Americas enemies.....but you are right America is being desecrated....

Eat your hearts out right wing commentators on Ynet News. America's fifth column on this board makes no difference at all. Of course Obama is correct to take the liberal stand on gay marriages, but actually the majority of Americans oppose such marriages. Israel has a strong friend in Barrack Obama. But it is also good that Netanyahu and Mitt Romney are friends. Israel needs the support of every favorably inclined person it can find in the world, all four of them.

then don't have one. Worry about your own rights, your own life, and leave others to worry about theirs. Make decisions for yourself and your family and let others take care of themselves.

When we consider how God views Homosexuality (See Genesis 19:1 - 29), I wonder what he thinks of the way that this Prez is leading the USofA? What happened to Sodom and Gomorrah wasn't pretty.

Obama says whatever his advisors tell him to say. This will backfire on him as most of the country is opposed to it.

who cares? gay people get married and the world continues to turn. honestly, the people so worried about this need to get a hobby. who gives a damn if they get married? get on with your lives. you people think more about gays than gays themselves do.

. . . who would he look like, Mr. Obama?Every single U.S. state has REJECTED gay marriage on their ballots, and this nudnik de luxe is "coming out" in favor of gay marriage.

even if it's just to get the gay vote.

Homosexuals are human beings just like yourself who have NOT chosen to be homosexual. They were created as such, and as human being they have a right to seek happiness and equality of human rights. We in Canada have understood this already years ago. Homosexual marriages and child adoption by homosexual couples is commonplace here, and our country has not collapsed yet! People like you are so regressive and self centered that you can not even understand what I am taking about. The US is years behind Canada in social matters such as universal healthcare and gay marriage.

to counterbalance the fact that he is overriding all three branches of the U.S. Government (via Executive Orders) as a means of ripping the Constitution to shreds and denying Americans their freedoms, bit by bit, in order to advance his totalitarian agenda. He hates the U.S. as much as he hates Israel, and anyone who believes otherwise is outright naive.

A majority doesn't have the right to decides on somebody else's basic right, like holding property, being free or getting married. Homosexuals don't choose to be so, just like heterosexuals don't either. How can you compare animals to homosexuals ? I think you better fit a society like the arabs and, have you consider to move ?

Obama is a hypocrite and this was nothing more than a cynical ploy on his part. We knew damned well he supported gay marriage, but he refused to come out and say so... until Joe Biden eased the way for him. Frankly, I'm pleased he supports gay marriage...it's just his dishonesty I can't abide.

What Obama has essentially done is he has given Israel the green light to attack Iran, without actually giving a green light. I say this because, if he wants to stay in office, he's going to need a major war, despite the media predictions that his new revelation is going to help him in the elections. It will not. He's going to need WWIII to be well underway before November, with Congress backing him as Commander in Chief. Go ahead Mr. Netanyahu... a door has just opened for you.

Thanks Obama, Romney is the next US President.

The majority of Americans are for same-sex marriage.

Of a once great nation. Does his reverend wright Approve? Does his good friend farikhan Approve? Everybody come on now he is a Nobel prize winner? I'm still trying to figure out For What? ברוך שם הא

Quite the gamble, Obama.
