Obama Goes ‘Forward’ on gay marriage
President Obama has scheduled an interview about his views on gay marriage for Wednesday afternoon, capping days of growing pressure to clarify his “evolving” position after Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. spoke out in support of such unions. Mr. Obama is expected to sit down with ABC News‘ Robin Roberts at the White House for an interview that wasn’t listed on his schedule earlier in the day. The interview comes a day after North Carolina voters approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union only between a man and a woman, the 32nd state to approve such a measure.

‘The Life of Julia,’ Bogus Claims Fact Checked
Summary The Obama campaign depends on some false or dubious assumptions in its “Life of Julia” slide show. The infographic depicts a fictional woman whose life from age 3 to 67 is better under the president’s policies than under those of Republican Mitt Romney. But in reality, the contrasts are not so stark or simple as the Obama team would have viewers believe.
