President Obama once said that he supported same-sex marriage but has slowly backed out of that position now that his re-election is on the horizon. Like Bush, Obama has ignored the issue of same-sex marriage and has left the decision up to the states. While five states have legalized same sex marriage (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa,Vermont and New Hampshire), California’s decision remains in limbo, and many couples looking to get married in California are growing impatient.

Residents of Abottabad, Pakistan, said they believed the two men who were hiding Osama bin Laden were either smugglers or gold merchants and that fact accounted for the unusual high and thick walls that had been built around the compound. More details emerged Tuesday, May 3, 2011, about the compound where a U.S. Navy Seal time killed bin Laden early Monday and the raid itself, including that the men assembled the land for the compound from several people in the area and supervised construction of the property itself.
