Roberts to ask Obama about gay marriage

Robin Roberts, co-host of Good Morning America, will conduct an "exclusive, wide-ranging interview" with President Barack Obama at the White House today.

A source at ABC confirms to POLITICO that Roberts will ask Obama about his views on same-sex marriage, an issue that has dogged his campaign this week.

Reporters have been peppering White House spokesperson Jay Carney with questions about the president's unclear stance on same-sex marriage recently, following Vice President Joe Biden's statements on Meet The Press Sunday, where he came out in support of the issue. CNN's Jessica Yellin recently called Obama's stance on the issue "convoluted," while Anderson Cooper described it as "anything but precise."

A portion of ABC's interview will air tonight on “World News with Diane Sawyer"; the full interview will on “Good Morning America” tomorrow morning, per the ABC News press release.
