unions and marriage are the same except for one word, and of the very big and is doma. the president has said that we need to get rid of the defensive marriage act. what it does is essentially abnegate the commerce clause and deny equal rights. it's not just the marriage problem. it is an equal rights problem. it's an inher rans problem, health care problem, work discrimination problem. the government has no business backing discrimination against anybody. so, i don't think the president wants to discriminate against people either. i do think that you're right about the softestry and the dancing around. clear that equal rights under the law for every single american is something that you believe in. and i think you can do that without putting your head in the chopping block electionwise. >> governor, what are you hoping to hear from the president tomorrow night on afghanistan?
