playing today, democratic national committee member robert zimmerman, talk show host pete dominic andte, what are you doing in exercises? neck stretches? getting ready to get beaten up here? first question, the president said last night he believes in equal rights for gay couples and didn't say that one word that so many people there wanted to hear. marriage. how did he handle the political tightrope. dana? >> oh, he was a spinmeister at that speech. he walked up to it, danced around it, he looked at it and then fell back on federalism is what he said. he was talking about having equal rights for all and said i'm happy that the locals are doing what they're doing and something of which bill clinton would have been incredibly proud. >> robert? >> standing up to civil rights and social justice should not be a political tightrope for this president and he ought to stop flip flopping on the issue and leading by supporting the majority of americans for marriage equality. and my democratic talking head friends should stop making excuses and speak truth to power. >> pete? >> well, i think it

three questions, 20 seconds on the clock and playing today, cornell bellcher, and comedian pete dominicalk show host dana lohse. first question, andrew cuomo, legalizes same-sex marriage in new york. gay activists already talking about 2016 and the presidential run. could a president cuomo actually have a national appeal? da dana. >> i guess that solves the 9.1% unemployment rate and high energy prices. i look at those talking about running cuomo as a serious presidential contender and i have to think it's political naive. we all forget, i don't, maybe some of us do, the same andrew cuomo secretary of hud and convinced fannie mae and freddie mac to get all of these low interest loans to people who couldn't afford them and boom we had the housing crisis. we had the economy crash, all of this. no no no, we can't have this guy. we cannot have this guy. >> cornell? >> look, i think 2016 is a long ways away. however, i mean if you look at what he's been doing in new york, bringing democrats together and republicans together not only sort of to move contentious legislation through in this man
