Gay Press Frustrated by Obama

[LadyVT]

Another article I was tipped off to by several of my LGBT students tonight:

Translation: I don't care about the LGBT community unless they give me money, and I don't have time to talk to them because I'm busy getting the votes of the millions of straight people.

1. From the comments section:

Obama will never speak our for or against anything. He did it with Iraq, he did it with the Olympics, he kept quiet about Rezko and Wright until it became news, so why is anyone surprised that he wouldn't speak out with the Gay issue? He is the Teflon man where nothing sticks to him. He stays in the background to look at whose words/views will be attacked then he will take a poll and then and only then he will speak out. The Gay Press shouldn't be angered or surprised with Obama, that's who he is; noncommittal in anything.

I tell ya, this is the problem I've had with him since he announced. The "teflon man" :silly:

2. The first one was Reagan, actually--nothing stuck to him, for some reason. NT

3. I wonder if there is anything he actually deeply cares about

Has he ever had a passion for anything meaningful

when no one was looking? :shrug:
