28. I've never heard him quote the scriptures myself
But this was pretty close:

"I personally believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. But I also agree with most Americans, including Vice President Cheney and over 2,000 religious leaders of all different beliefs, that decisions about marriage should be left to the states as they always have been."

When you invoke the name of Dick Cheney and "2,000 religious leaders" to validate your position that pretty much seals it. We all know how well the "states' rights" position worked in the days of slavery and segregation. They only ended when the federal government stepped in and that's not something Obama is willing to do. Not to say that Hillary would do it either, but this whole "hope and change" train has left us standing at the platform.
