from baltimore -- >> i love the president, but i cannot support what he has done. >> to atlanta -- >> mad at the president? >> to new york. >> it shouldn't be a union -- shouldn't be a community concern. >> pastors and churchgoers tackled the topic of same-sex marriage on tuesday after president obama showed his support for it. at shiloh baptist church in washington where obama celebrated easter last year, reverend wallace charles smith believes it president got it wrong. >> we have not preferred, we had not weighed in in on the issue? >> he and his congregation were praying for president obama every sunday for the last seven years. >> we ask for the community support for the president in the upcoming election. i would hope not. we have larger challenges that we have to tackle.

>> the shiloh member who was gay said the president took a courageous stand. >> i'm a black gay male and also as a baptist, i feel that, you know, things -- they'll change. and opinions will change. and the only thing i want to do is lift it up to the lord. >> african-americans had been a strong base of support for the president, polls show they're more likely than whites to oppose same-sex marriage. that has softened in recent years. in baltimore, emmitt burns is so upset he publicly withdrew his support for president obama and said the issue will cost him the election. >> people i know, people come up to me and are saying they don't support this, they don't like this, they're disappointed at the president. and they plan to stay home. i don't plan to vote for romney. but right now i plan to stay

home. >> burns, a maryland legislator, is leading up a petition drive to support a vote on a new state law legalizing same-sex marriages. >> a report there from tina davis from abc news. we spent a little time on this with politico abbey phillips. >> let's talk about all of that right now. i guess the president what they're mentioning is going on the view. that's a topic in the discussion on "the view." do you see it as a topic throughout the campaign? >> it's a topic for now because it's at the moment. last week, surprised people, forced republicans to respond to it. mitt romney did that on saturday at liberty university. but i think mostly the campaign and the romney campaign both want to get back to the economy. because i don't think gay marriage is an issue that either camp feels they can run successfully on. >> most people haven't pointed

out the timing of all of this. the joe biden interview that aired on "meet the press" sunday was taped on friday. then the president, of course, made the announcement this past week. it almost seemed to some that it was a distraction, obvious to others. >> yeah, it seems like a distraction. because i it's to the obama team's benefit not to talk about the economy when things are bad or not the way they would like it to be. this is a politically uncertain issue for him. the politics of it are so uncertain. and it's not something that they want to kind of wade into. the vice president's statements were not expected by the president's advisors. when they made them, they had to respond to them and the president did so the following tuesday by endorsing gay marriage by a move that i don't think surprised very many people. >> and long term impact

especially with the black community. a large part of the black community was responsible for prop 8 in california. >> the black community and the hispanic community are big question marks. it's very, very unclear. it's sparked, though, a big debate. that's going to be an uncertain factor. i happen to think that black voters are going to vote for obama because he has astronomical support among that group. his voters are a little bit more uncertain bloc of the electorate. >> 90% of black voters supporting the president and 70% of latinos. thank you. from politico, appreciate it. >> thanks. >> that from a bit earlier. a story expected to gain a lot of attention, the fallout on j.p. morgan chase after leaders admitted to losing $2 billion. three executives are expected to be fired. the j.p. morgan c.e.o. says the
