It\u2019s Ed Henry reporting that Obama is going to come out of the closet, maybe, on gay marriage. Megyn Kelly just spoke with Chief White House Correspondent Ed Henry about Obama and the White House policy on gay marriage. Megyn Kelly said, &#8220;What\u2019s going on? Does anybody there have the slightest clue what\u2019s going on?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HENRY: We have some new information. As you know, the president, uh, said in December of 2010 that he was &#8220;evolving&#8221; on this issue. We\u2019re getting new information now suggesting that he is ready perhaps to complete that evolution. I just spoke to a source close to the president, a Democratic adviser outside the White House who told me the president is expected to go further than he ever has before on this issue. The venue is going to be a last-minute interview the White House granted, uh, to ABC News, ABC\u2019s Robin Roberts. Now, I want to caution that I\u2019ve talked to two other sources close to the president who are suggesting that, uh, you know, this could be short of a full-fledged endorsement of &#8212; of same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, my God, they\u2019re excited over nothing! &#8220;He might come out of the closet, maybe. He might do it with Robin Roberts, but he might not. The White House is not sure.&#8221; What kind of&#8230;? See, this is another thing. The American people are not idiots. What is this &#8220;evolving on the issue&#8221; of gay marriage? What is that? The American people know what it is. It\u2019s gutlessness. Everybody knows Obama is in favor of it, and everybody knows he doesn\u2019t have the courage to say so.<\/p>\n<p>Because everybody knows that the vast majority of the people of the country are opposed to it, and therefore it will not help his reelection. That\u2019s why they send Biden out. So now they\u2019re doing this dance. &#8220;Obama\u2019s evolving.&#8221; What does that mean? He\u2019s really thinking about it? How long you have to think about it? How old is he? What\u2019s happened in the last three days, three years, three months to change his mind on this?<\/p>\n<p>What happened last night?<\/p>\n<p>What happened this morning?<\/p>\n<p>What the heck?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/videos.mediaite.com\/embed\/player\/?content=3N0NMZ2D1F800NML&amp;content_type=content_item&amp;layout=&amp;playlist_cid=&amp;media_type=video&amp;widget_type_cid=svp&amp;read_more=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"421\" frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Nobody\u2019s fooled by any of this. This &#8220;evolving&#8221; business, all it means is they\u2019re trying to come up with the slickest spin to explain him all of a sudden changing his mind and coming out in favor of gay marriage. And they\u2019re coming up with a bunch of different trials and they\u2019re testing them. They\u2019re waiting for focus group reaction. They haven\u2019t found one that works yet. That\u2019s all it means. They haven\u2019t found a way to send him out there to say (Obama impression), &#8220;You know what? The evolution is complete, aaaaand I have change my mind. I am now in favor of gay marriage.&#8221; Well, what\u2019s changed? They don\u2019t have the answers to that. They don\u2019t have a way of credibly doing this. So they want credit. They\u2019re trying to get credit for Obama. They\u2019re trying to convey that he\u2019s changed his mind without his having to say so. Don\u2019t doubt me. I know these people, folks, like every square inch of my glorious naked body.<\/p>\n<p>I know these guys. I know how they think. I know what they\u2019re gonna do before they do it. And all this is, is an attempt to give a wink and a nod and a silent signal. It\u2019s almost like a secret decoder ring signal to the progressives and the Democrat voters. &#8220;Hey, psst! Look, look! He\u2019s for gay marriage, but we\u2019re not gonna say it. That\u2019s what this &#8216;evolving\u2019 business means. He\u2019s getting close, so close.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But they don\u2019t want him to have to say it because then they can\u2019t control it after that. They don\u2019t want him to have to say it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s official. Obama has announced he supports gay marriage after talks with his wife and daughters, gay service members, and others. &#8220;Pink smoke is rising from the White House chimney.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Breaking news (of sorts) from Fox.
