Obama expected to discuss gay marriage position May 9th 2012, 17:15 President Obama is expected to discuss his position on same-sex marriage during a hastily arranged interview at the White House Wednesday afternoon, a source close to the president told Fox News.  The source, who is a Democratic adviser outside the White House, said Obama during this interview is likely to go further than he has in the past on the controversial topic.  "He'll make some news," the source said. "He's not just going to talk about old ground ... and will not be rehashing" his old position.  Whether that means Obama will endorse gay marriage, or offer a more nuanced position, is unclear.  Obama in the past has said he is "evolving" on the matter, stopping short of endorsing the unions.  But statements in recent days supportive of gay marriage by both Vice President Biden and Education Secretary Arne Duncan have put pressure on Obama to make his personal view crystal clear. Drawing more attention to the issue, voters in North Carolina on Tuesday approved a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.  The Obama interview is being conducted by ABC News.  Two other sources said it's possible Obama may stop short again of an actual endorsement of same-sex marriages.  Fox News' Ed Henry contributed to this report.
