Obama endorses gay marriage.

[Beet]

Amusing; at least three Democrats (Biden, Cuomo, O'Malley) have now placed the gay marriage issue into their arsenal which they intend to use to jockey for 2016. Kirsten Gillibrand also used it as a career-booster, and has been mentioned as a possible 2016 contender as well, although less than the other two New Yorkers. I guess this must be low-hanging fruit for Dems who aren't in red states.

I don't see how the 2016 nominee wouldn't support gay marriage. Hillary or Schweitzer or other 2016 possibilities would presumably come out in support before they run (if they run). It should be easy for Hillary, her husband already supports it.

That's true. As more and more come around to this and find ways to "be a leader" on the issue, the marginal benefit in the primary drops accordingly, and in the end I think it'll be a lot less important than the potential candidates may think. But right now it's a relatively simple, high profile issue that motivates social liberals.

Barry now tries to avoid ANY economy discussion so he had use everything for his campaign: from gay marriage and free condoms to Romney dog.
Also, there is one more reason for this.

Bristol writes in a Facebook post that fathers should shape their kids' views, not the other way around:

While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.

Bristol has a son with her ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston, but the two were never married and Bristol says that Levi is not part of the child's life.

But what is Levi's position on this?  I don't know what to think until we get his take.  Why won't the media cover him anymore?

A better question is why does the media still cover Bristol.

It's the HuffPo, to be fair.
