President Barack Obama talks about gay marriage and Defense of Marriage Act on “The View”

President Barack Obama appeared on ABC’s The View this morning (the show was taped yesterday) for the full hour.

He talked about a host of things and was pretty charming throughout – seemed very comfortable in his own skin.

We are seeing him completely comfortable on the topic of gay marriage now that he has publicly endorsed it.

He made clear that he believes the Defense of Marriage Act should be repealed – he does not think it is constitutional.

Obama also discussed how he came around on gay marriage: “Part of it was just knowing friends and family, people that I’d gotten to know who had these wonderful relationships and they’d say to me, ‘You know what? The words matter. So even though you’ve been a strong supporter of civil unions, somehow it still says we’re different.’ That particular set of conversations that I had were ultimately what led me to this conclusion.’
