at odds with party officials like house democratic leader pelosi and los angeles mayor antonio villaraigosaair of the convention in charlotte, with 22 senators are pushing for democratic platform supporting the same-sex marriage. leaving the president top advisor tongue tied. >> he has said what he believes. this is a very important issue. profound issue. he has spoken about this in great detail. i don't have anything to add to that. >> over a year ago, the president opposed same-sex marriage said the position is still unfolding. >> my feelings are constantly evolving. i struggle with this. i have friends and people who work for me who are in powerful, strong, long lasting gay or lesbian unions. >> democratic strategist insist the brewing platform battle is waste of time. >> meaningless exercises. again, the president is moving in the position of marriage equality. i'm not sure about forcing his hand on a meaningless document like the platform. >> democratic voters may have a different view. recent poll found 66% of obama voters from 2008 think same-sex marriage should be legal. with number

and mayor villaraigosa?one hope is that in addition to districts like ours that are city states, being able to compete for race to the top that we also get waivers from nclb so we can innovate and do the kinds of things that states are allowed to do so on those two points, that's a hope. but the real hope, the macro hope, if you will, i want our schools to be world class schools and when tom friedman says that the world is flat and we're not competing, he's not just talking about the urban schools, he's talking about our kids. my daughter's at s.c., my son was at princeton. he's saying our kids aren't competing in math, science. i want our urban schools to be places of a world class education. i want our kids to be able to compete and challenge, i do believe and one of the reasons why i really wanted to have these two great mayors here with us, superintendents, i do believe mayors have to spearhead the effort to reform our schools. we have to put parents and teachers first and focus as much on the kids as we

first to you, mayor villaraigosa. you, unlike mayor bloomberg and mayor manuel, you have inherited systems were you do not have political control. how do you work around that challenge? >> first of all, let me say that i cannot be more proud to be here with both mayor bloomberg and mayor emanuel. both new york and chicago are doing what we need to do to improve our schools. they're challenging a broken status quo and a bureaucracy that does not work for our kids. look, i would like to say that this is the economic issue of our time, the civil rights issue of our time, and the democracy of our time when you look at the issue of education, particularly in urban schools. you are right, i do not have made your control over the l.a. unified school district. i did go to the legislature early on, with support of mayor bloomberg, to ask for a partnership with our school district. i was given that partnership. the school district sued. i lost on trial and on appeal. but we have plan b, to elect a progressive school board that

. >> we live in a global villaraigosa. what's amazing is how many members of the are senate and congress have pass ports and they're making global mall z how can you do that. they're in their own home district. they don't get out unless they're running for office. >> rose: the complaint is, part of the complaint now is they don't don't go back home as much as they used to. or the other argument is made they go back all the time and therefore there's not as much camaraderie. >> you deal with a whole array of problems here on your show. we don't have an international energy plan, we don't have a plan to renew our infrastructure and we don't va have an aviation plan. look at the airports. america's airports as compared to the airports around the world are very sad case. >> rose: here's an interesting idea. the idea about the role of government. in some people's eyes it's an anathema, when you say we don't have a transportation plan, people say that's good we don't want the government metaling. >> from the global perspective,

the man who chairs that convention, los angeles mayor antonio villaraigosa, he says today support forage should be included in the democratic party platform. obviously that's a problem because the president himself has not come out for gay marriage. he says the his stance is evolving on the issue. today the president's campaign manager sort of kicked the can down the road saying that he's going to leave that decision to the delegates, the convention delegates will decide eventually what goes in the platform. but john, as you know this is a difficult balancing act. because on the one hand the campaign doesn't want to risk angering their liberal base or frankly angering wealth any gay donors they're counting on. on the other hand, they can't alienate socially conservative swing voters in key swing states. >> here's predicting they kick the can down the road for now and try to deal with that before the convention so they don't have a big fight at the con saengs over same-sex marriage. just a bet, jessica yellin. our chief white house correspondent. >>> now we turn to a form will presiden

. >> los angeles mayor antonio villaraigosa will be at today's educational summit with the chicago mayor and the new york mayor, michael bloomberg, and the panel will be moderated by my friend, andrea mitchell. mr. mayor, welcome. >> great to be on the show with you, in person. >> it's good to have you out here in person. and we'll talk about the dodgers in a minute. but i want to go through, this is a stunning stat. the three districts combined. l.a., chicago, and new york, 2.5 million students, 77% of them are poor. this is your challenge, this is, i take it, so i guess my we to you is, you hear the president basically begging governors to give you more resources. is there just no federal government resources there that can help you out in this case? >> first of all, i agree with the president that the governors need to do more to put their money where their mouth is and invest in our schools and in our education. i also believe that we need to connect that money to reform and accountability, to improving our schools. and, yes, i think there is something the federal government could do

and yesterday, democratic national convention chair antonio villaraigosa also said he backs such language, saying, "i think it's basic to who we are." by being in a state of evolution now on this issue for nearly 17 months, is the president deferring leadership in his own party? >> no, chris, i can tell you that he is not engaged in the very early stages of what i understand to be the platform development, and i would refer you simply to discussions that the folks you mentioned are having. positionresident's hasn't changed. i certainly have no new announcement to make on it. >> but by being in a state of evolution, i mean, the president is missing an opportunity to lead not just the democratic party but for the country as a whole. so i -- >> i appreciate the question. i just don't have anything new to report to you on it. >> just to follow up on that -- can you identify what is obstructing the president from completing his evolution on this issue? is there some sort of fear of political backlash during an election year? you mentioned something before about this process involving the presi
