4. If you don't think Obama is doing......
all he can for the gay people in this country,guess again,
And you can hate on the religious right that made these laws
in the first place, not Obama.

5. This is not just about being gay
"In This Country,We Treat Everybody Equally" applies to a lot of things but unfortunately feels like a lie after recent events, "cough" (Gibbs' comments).

Equally, really?

Damn, how many times do you need to put your administration's foot into it's mouth?

8. now that is a bold statement
Because the reality is mostly rich white people are treated as equals. The poor, homeless, uninsured, gays, lesbians, Latinos, etc. etc. are not.

9. "In This Country,We Treat Everybody Equally."
Except for the predator banksters, Wall Street cronies, venal politicians, war criminals, the BFEE etc. etc. et al...

It's like what Gorge W. Bush said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on."
