Obamas answer vs Ms California answer

Obama said, 'I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman.'



Ms. California,

'I think it's great Americans are able to choose one or another,' she said. 'We live in a country where we can choose: same sex marriage or opposite marriage.'
'You know what? In my country and in my family think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there. But that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be: between a man a woman.'


So what is the big deal here? Our president of the United States had the same answer, just in a dif form of words.
