Biden on gay marriage: ‘Absolutely comfortable with men marrying men, women marrying women’

Vice President Joe Biden is not convinced the economic recovery has flatlined, doesn't think Mitt Romney has a jobs plan and is "absolutely comfortable" with gay marriage.

During a wide-ranging interview with David Gregory on NBC's "Meet The Press" on Sunday, Biden weighed in on a wide array of topics--the economy, foreign policy, gay marriage, blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng, Mitt Romney and Osama bin Laden--six months ahead of the general election.

While Biden wouldn't say if the Obama administration would support gay-marriage legislation in a second term, he expressed his personal views on the topic:


VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: "I-- I-- look, I am vice president of the United States of America. The president sets the policy. I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties. And quite frankly, I don't see much of a distinction--beyond that"...
