White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was cautious on Thursday when asked about President Obama’s position on legislative repeal of the same-sex marriage law in New Hampshire.

Under questioning from the Washington Blade on the expected vote to repeal the law, Carney said he hasn’t spoken with Obama on the issue.

“I honestly haven’t spoken to him about that state issue, so I would have to take the question and see if there’s anything I can get back to you,” Carney said.

Pressed further on whether Obama’s position that states should decide the marriage issue themselves means that he would support the legislature’s decision to undo the law, Carney declined to elaborate.
