Uh-oh. Did Joe Biden just get out front of his boss on gay marriage?

On NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, the Vice President had this to say:

“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.”

Being Number 2 in the White House, Biden naturally preceded that eye-opener with, “I am vice president of the United States of America. The president sets the policy.”
