The Obama DOJ is now actively arguing against DOMA  in federal court.  This is quite remarkable.

Huh. So Obama is some sort of sleeper progressive? Weird!

Not by a long shot, sadly.
He's still conservative about SO much else, especially his utterly wrongheaded stance on the economy and his aggresive prosecution of leakers while immunizing torturers.

Yeah, it's a fleeting fantasy, but at least I got to enjoy a moment of imagining that Obama the President had anything at all to do with Obama the Candidate.

His presidency, more than any other that I can think of since the 70s, is facing a lot of questions of federal vs. states rights. I think more than anything else he does not want DOMA to put the federal government in the position of saying that states can ignore each other when they want, AND the federal government will back that up. That shit won't fly.
