VIDEO: White House Press Secretary gets grilled over Biden’s same-sex marriage comments

This is the entire press briefing, but starting at about 3:29, and again at length starting at 6:09, Jay Carney gets grilled over Veep Biden’s same-sex marriage comments. It goes on and on, until at least 17-something and again at 20:23, at which point I stopped watching.

Re: President Obama’s position on marriage equality: “It is what it was.” (at 13:06 and again at 13:51 or so)

Meantime, over at Greg Sargent’s place:

Some leading gay and progressive donors are so angry over President Obama’s refusal to sign an executive order barring same sex discrimination by federal contractors that they are refusing to give any more money to the pro-Obama super PAC, a top gay fundraiser’s office tells me. In some cases, I’m told, big donations are being withheld.

My rant about this and more here.

    I think what Joe B did was great.  He got the conversation rolling again.  Anyone who would be negatively influenced by the vice president’s sane and calm comments wasn’t going to vote for a Democratic candidate anyway.  And those sitting on the fence know this is a wink, wink, nod, nod, approval from Obama — back to his earlier stand.  So good luck to all my gay/lesbian friends.  I hope they find true love and happiness once this all becomes the law of the land.  It won’t be long now.  DG
