Asked by the Washington Blade whether the president expects passage of the legislation in U.S. Senate, where Democrats still hold a majority, Gibbs identified ENDA as among "a whole host things that the president has made part of his campaign."
"We talked about DOMA a few days ago, ENDA, and other things that are important to build off the progress of repealing 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,'" Gibbs said. "I think those continue to be priorities of the president's and we will certainly work to make progress on those fronts in obviously a much more challenging Congress over the course of the next two years."
