President Obama officially endorses legalization of gay marriage

President Barack Obama dropped a bomb on the American public today when he officially endorsed the legalization of gay marriage. 
In an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts today, Thursday, May 10,2012 on "Good Morning America," President Obama finally spoke with conviction about the hot button issue of same-sex marriage.

While approximately 30 states have laws that actually outlaw same-sex marriage, Obama has taken his pro-civil union stance one step further to endorse the legalization of same-sex marriage.

"I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together; when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that 'don't ask, don't tell' is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," Obama told Roberts.

Hmmm ... What do you think? Do you think this decision will affect his re-election come this November?
