"As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws," he wrote. "I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment. But I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples — whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage."
Obama pledges to use a "bully pulpit" to overcome states' rights in choosing to recognize marriage. He seems to be saying that he will fight for states' rights to make their own decisions re guarding marriage, but in reality he is on the opposite side of states' rights, since he will essentially force states to recognize the marriage laws of other states. Whatever your take on the issue of gay marriage, this should continuance of the patter of the Democrats to trample over every remaining state right left should scare you badly. The Federal government under Democratic control next year will continue to usurp authority, taking more and more ground, becoming less and less efficient, tax more and more until the American people are pretty much stifled out of existence as a nation.
