OK so breaking news all over the queer blogosphere last week - Obama is backpedalling on LGBT Equal rights!! Why? Because the section on the White House website has been reduced to a few lines instead of paragraphs! "Oh no he's turning his back on" "us he just wanted our vote" "whine whine bitch moan".
Please seriously shut the f&*k up already you screaming drama queens. We've got one of the worst recessions in the history of the country, millions unemployed and uninsured, auto industry and financial sector in shambles, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan not to mention trouble on the border with Mexico and their drug violence, and the man has been in office 100 days and you're already bitching? You are upset that he said "one sentence" about the Hate Crimes act passing. What did you want in the middle of a Swine Flu pandemic, a one hour speech? HELLO, the LGBT adenda, in the midst of all the other turmoil the Nation is in right now, is at about the right place on his list of priorities. Get you head out of your ass and keep watching. And I'd really bite my tongue until there is proof that there has been some change of LGBT equal rights policy from Obama, as I am not expecting to see any. I expect him to deliver. It's far too early to say he will abandon his promises.
Even about Don't Ask Don't Tell.
Which is the latest hot button issue. "He won't DO anything!" they whine.
Wrong screaming bitches! He says he will. But he wants to do it with Congressional action. That takes time. Again, changing this nearly 25 year old policy will not happen overnight. Not if we want it done in a a permanent, lasting way that will not be able to be stricken down the next time a right wing President takes office.
There is one thing I know about Obama - he's a Constitutional scholar, he does things in a way that will not be able to be stricken down, that have concrete legal standing.
It's been what, 114 days into his Presidency...I've never seen such demanding people in my life. It's kind of like the people who want a crash diet, their instantaneous results, only to have it all come back later. Maybe Obama could do something quickly about this, but if it is not well thought out, it could be repealed or overturned. Do you want immediate change, or lasting change?
