Now, for me as a Christian, it's also a sacred union. God's in the mix." - Obama, Aug 16, 2008

To me, that is not much different from saying "I believe that marriage is the union between two people of the same race". I would love Obama to make a speech where he says that he *no longer* believes that marriage is necessarily between a man and a woman, and comes out forcefully and unambiguously in favor of gay marriage rights.

The election is safely won; constructive criticism of Obama is OK, especially over an issue as important as this one.
