As the White House scrambles to retain its slipping conservative support, President Bush will hold a White House news conference today to push a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
Newsweek magazine adds to the charge that due to his low poll numbers, Bush is simply playing politics.
An old friend of the president is quoted as saying that his recent enthusiasm for a gay marriage ban is "purely political. I don't think he gives a shit about it," according to the Huffington Post.
Newsweek also reveals that Focus on the Family founder James Dobson recently met with and threatened top GOP congressional leaders, warning them of the political consequences of abandoning key religious issues like marriage.
"If you forget us, we'll forget you," he told them.
The amendment, however, is seen as not having enough votes, and is widely expected to fail in both the Senate and the House.
