Obama's Peeps On California

By The Daily Dish
May 15 2008, 5:40 AM ET

Calm:

"Barack Obama has always believed that same-sex couples should enjoy equal rights under the law, and he will continue to fight for civil unions as President. He respects the decision of the California Supreme Court, and continues to believe that states should make their own decisions when it comes to the issue of marriage."

The salient question is: if the federal government section in DOMA is repealed, as Obama has promised, will the feds recognize civil marriage for residents of California and Massachusetts? If not, why not? Nada from McCain. He hates this stuff.
