Obama is a hero, and I thank him for taking this risk BEFORE the election.

I think this proves how upset he was over the passing of Amendment One in a swing state that he really hopes to win.

He put a lot on the line... the entire state's electoral votes on the line... to do the right thing.

Thank you president Obama. I am so proud to have voted for you in 2008, and I can't wait to vote for you again in 2012.
