The Obama Justice Department has reversed its support for the Defense of Marriage Act, which has led to a legal battle with conservative groups and their lawyers.

Also, unemployment dips to a nearly two-year low, and Republicans are adamant about spending cuts and deficit reduction. Is that what voters care about most?
