"I have not talked to the president about it."
Robert Gibbs, asked by White House press corp about California Supreme Court ruling.
For the record: the California Supreme Court originally legalized gay marriage in the state. The court does not have the power to overturn a legal ballot initiative. What I find interesting is Obama running away from the LGBT community. During the campaign Obama came out against Prop 8. Obama is now abandoning parts of the base after winning the presidency. Change supporters on the Left don't want to believe is happening.
Bonus quote:
"Gibbs answer on prop 8 seems to ignore *candidate* Obama's opposition to it bc it 'needlessly' altered CA's constitution. Gah."
