Obama can be silence all he likes because he has already said what his stand was on this issue.  It don’t matter what he says now he said it big time back in 2004 and 2007.  Here is what Obama said: 

(ABC News) While running for the Senate in 2004, Obama called DOMA. “an abhorrent law” and accused those in Congress who voted for it of having only been interested in “perpetuating division and affirming a wedge issue,” according to a statement that he gave to the Windy City Times, a gay Chicago newspaper.

When he became a presidential candidate in 2007, Obama went on the record in a questionnaire for the Human Rights Campaign saying that he supports full repeal of DOMA.

Sen. Hillary Clinton, though, only supports repealing the portion of DOMA that blocks gays in state-recognized unions from receiving federal benefits. She would keep in place the part of DOMA that says a state does not have to recognize a same-sex marriage legally recognized in another state.

Part of the 1996 law, which was approved by former President Bill Clinton, stipulates that no state needs to recognize a marriage between people of the same sex even if it was legally recognized in another state.
