Hey Homos!
Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Barack Obama
Barack Obama is trying to reach out to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, confused and all the other kinds of voters out there.
The Democratic presidential hopeful has just written the following message:
"I'm running for President to build an America that lives up to our founding promise of equality for all – a promise that extends to our gay brothers and sisters. It's wrong to have millions of Americans living as second-class citizens in this nation. And I ask for your support in this election so that together we can bring about real change for all LGBT Americans.
Equality is a moral imperative. That's why throughout my career, I have fought to eliminate discrimination against LGBT Americans. In Illinois, I co-sponsored a fully inclusive bill that prohibited discrimination on the basis of both sexual orientation and gender identity, extending protection to the workplace, housing, and places of public accommodation. In the U.S. Senate, I have co-sponsored bills that would equalize tax treatment for same-sex couples and provide benefits to domestic partners of federal employees. And as president, I will place the weight of my administration behind the enactment of the Matthew Shepard Act to outlaw hate crimes and a fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act to outlaw workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws. I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment. But I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples — whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage. Unlike Senator Clinton, I support the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) – a position I have held since before arriving in the U.S. Senate. While some say we should repeal only part of the law, I believe we should get rid of that statute altogether. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples, which is precisely what DOMA does. I have also called for us to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and I have worked to improve the Uniting American Families Act so we can afford same-sex couples the same rights and obligations as married couples in our immigration system.
The next president must also address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. When it comes to prevention, we do not have to choose between values and science. While abstinence education should be part of any strategy, we also need to use common sense. We should have age-appropriate sex education that includes information about contraception. We should pass the JUSTICE Act to combat infection within our prison population. And we should lift the federal ban on needle exchange, which could dramatically reduce rates of infection among drug users. In addition, local governments can protect public health by distributing contraceptives.
We also need a president who's willing to confront the stigma – too often tied to homophobia – that continues to surround HIV/AIDS. I confronted this stigma directly in a speech to evangelicals at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, and will continue to speak out as president. That is where I stand on the major issues of the day. But having the right positions on the issues is only half the battle. The other half is to win broad support for those positions. And winning broad support will require stepping outside our comfort zone. If we want to repeal DOMA, repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and implement fully inclusive laws outlawing hate crimes and discrimination in the workplace, we need to bring the message of LGBT equality to skeptical audiences as well as friendly ones – and that's what I've done throughout my career. I brought this message of inclusiveness to all of America in my keynote address at the 2004 Democratic convention. I talked about the need to fight homophobia when I announced my candidacy for President, and I have been talking about LGBT equality to a number of groups during this campaign – from local LGBT activists to rural farmers to parishioners at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where Dr. Martin Luther King once preached.
Just as important, I have been listening to what all Americans have to say. I will never compromise on my commitment to equal rights for all LGBT Americans. But neither will I close my ears to the voices of those who still need to be convinced. That is the work we must do to move forward together. It is difficult. It is challenging. And it is necessary.
Americans are yearning for leadership that can empower us to reach for what we know is possible. I believe that we can achieve the goal of full equality for the millions of LGBT people in this country. To do that, we need leadership that can appeal to the best parts of the human spirit. Join with me, and I will provide that leadership. Together, we will achieve real equality for all Americans, gay and straight alike."

and for people that say he has experience–he's only been in for a couple of years, he is GREEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeen.
OMG what the hell is this guys problem? Oh yeah I forgot he is just trying to brainwash America with telling everyone what they want to hear. Be smart America and don’t let him mess with your mind. This guy is a slimy character. If this bastard wins it will be the end of the world. Something big is about to happen and it will surprise America and you all will be very angry at Obama. Hillary will be president. Check out the new song from the new band NeverWinter called "BrainWasher" at WWW.NeverWinter.biz about Obama, it will open your eyes!
H.C for Pres!
Re: Obama 08 forever – I think you're just one of the delusional masses, if you think God has ordained Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States. Enough with the comparisons to Jesus! Your false idol, Barack Obama is just a man.
Hillary 08!

Re: nate – Dude, the image of America? Please….we've got much bigger problems with our image at this time, forget about our presidents name.
I WOULD NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE HAS DISGUSTING BIG EARS!!

You are all idiots….how many of you are actually going to vote? Dont parade your choice if your not even registered to vote! IDIOTS!
=Early voter= Voted yesterday for HILLARY!!! My choice actually counts because I VOTED not just made comments….cough cough….OBAMA nothing but talk…..
Go Hillary!!!!!!
Re: Melody –
YUP.
he's muslim, he doesn't put his hand over his heart during the pledge of alligence, and he won';t wear apin of the american flag. good president, weren't the men that crashed planes into the twin towers muslim!
So he'll completely ignore freedom of religion and the fact many americans don't believe being gay is right or moral and we'll all be forced to believe it is ok, or be forced into a world where apparently it is ok. Many people in the world and america do not believe that being gay is moral or ok, but they end up being ignored regardless of how many there are, he needs to find a way to have both because he seems to be completely ignoring how many christian/catholic/mormon/muslim people feel. Apparently its ok to ignore all those people because gays feel they aren't treated equally, well sorry to break it to you, many people of many religions are treated extremely poorly many countries around the world and in american, canada and so on. If he's going to tell everybody that gay people are equal too, then he has to find a balance.
I don't agreee with this leaving gay rights up to the states bullshit. They didn't leave rights for Blacks up to the states. There are many federal marital benefits that are denied when it is left to the states like the right for non American partners to live with their America spouse.
I don't trust Obama. I don't trust a preacher who is a self promoting emotional button pusher.
He was very sexist during the last debate when he referred to Hillary's legitimate complaint about his inflammatory deceitful mass mailing as Whining.
This is a belittling reference and speaks volumes for his lack of character.
Obama is a parroty preacher who has had a honeymoon with the press who want the democrats to choose the weaker candidate so they slant their coverage in favor of Obama.
Obama will go down faster than the titanic once his murky past comes to light.
Hillary is the better choice for President.
Re: coachgrl21 – I am glad to see someone is actually a registered voter and has cast thier voice. However I am too, and i voted monday here in the beautiful state of Texas. I guess my vote cancels your vote. Obama 08'

IDIOT.
he doesn't represent the whole country, not everybody loves the gays, actually a lot of people don't believe its right, so he's completely ignoring that half.
And he'll get into office and make up some BS as to why he couldn't do it just like Bill did with Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I don't need to hear words, I NEED to SEE action……..he has done this since his career began? I have NEVER heard a THING about what he has done for the LGBT community….so he must not be doing a good job. It is better to know where we satnd with a President who will give the LGBT nothing than to vote one in with his/her promises and lies and get f**k in the a** after the are in office. Do I look like Monica? I don't think so Obama.
Re: George Jetson – WORST COMMENT EVER
Isn't this exactly the same sort of statement Sen. Hillary Clinton made weeks ago?? Geez. Doesn't this guy have ANY original ideas???????
I am still shocked to how just many people can be so ignorant in regards to Obama… be it his name or a Muslim background. We will not change or grow as a country if we can't stop looking at the most meaningless crap. The only thing we should care about is what interests the candidates have for our country - and what's urgent. Obviously, we NEED to stop discrimination in this country! Grow up.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Oh Right???? After you use the "cured" preacher Donnie McClurkin for your South Carolina event. Anyone associating with scum who neither reject nor renounce are hypocrites. When you lie with dogs you wake up with their fleas.
Re: you are a worm Perez – Karma is a bitch little boy.
Let's see that c*nt Hillary come out and be that up front about what she won't do for the gays.
Re: Just wondering – RIGHT ON Just Wondering! Perez needs to address trying to extort a fellow gay man before he keeps preaching! BTW Perez-Obama has been addressing gay rights head on from the start of his campaign. Please Perez, say you did not try to use your power to take advantage of another gay man. That is some STRAIGHT up oppressive shit if you did. And I'm straight and can see that without my glasses on.
YOU GO OBAMA!!!! THATS RIGHT!!!!
I DON'T THINK HE STANDS FOR ANY THING GOOD AND ALL WHO VOTE FOR HIM ARE IDIOTS!!!!
There're black gays, but main stream urban hood blacks hate gays. I'm sure his little militant church is anti-gays. As a politician, reaching out to get votes is what they do, honest or not. The Black Messiah has arrived to take the world to the promise land! Barack-O-Mania! He sucks, too liberal & has no real plan but to win & beat down an old white woman. BTW he's HALF white & raised by a single white mother. The BLACK dad split; go figure.
way to hitch a ride on the bandwagon perez! You are a loser. you should have voted and supported him from day one, instead of trying to press your readers to hitlery. GO OBAMA!
Re: Melody – GO MELODY! I AGREE!Re: nate – Are you kidding!? Thats not his name! What… are you 5?
i agree that people shouldnt be judged by race and religion, but there was recently an article out by a guy who's muslim and into its history and such, anyways, if you're muslim you're brought up to think of america as the "great satan." it's a shame we have to be worried about aspects of a persons background, but after 9/11, bin laden, and that cyberwar that happened a month after it and originated from the middleeast, and with everything else that has been going on, it's hard not to. this is just an fyi for those who actually care and actually will listen to other's opinions rather than simply disgregard them because they are different from theirs. if you really have your heart set on obama being president one day, get informed, give him YEARS to get some experience (he's soooo green) and then see if he still wants to be president. you know, nobody would care about him if it weren't for the media hyping it up. and honestly, if you take away the descriptive qualities of the president hopefuls (black, white, girl, boy blahblah) and actaully LOOKED at their policies, i sincerely doubt there would be such a clamber over this. people are ignoring policies (uhhh higher taxes anyone) and just wanting to be alive to see "the first" black or female president. just be smart and educate yourselves before you vote and BE OPEN to other peoples opinions.
if i were a yank id vote for him
He doesn't need to "reach out", he's going to win the dem nomination, then win the presidency.

Re: Manhattan – Re: Manhattan – Hillary…. obviously this one is not educated though! GO OBAMA!
this guy is such a joke.
fuck the fucking black!! He will not be president, there are too many
racists (like me) in this country!!!
Re: Lisa –
you are racist. i see you have a white pointy hat.
OBAMA is the BEST candidate for change in these times. He has the right vision and the right message. Let's make some real changes in this country. We are ALL equal, so let's put into office the person who "gets" that. Lets move forward! Vote OBAMA 08'!
bush did more for africa and aids than any president.
Hussein talks like a commie….equal….who pays for equal…you do…

Re: deeeev – clinton initiated don't ask don;t tell….it is time for you to do your homework….clinton gave us nafta….and a lot of other goodies not to mention world trade center twice…….bush was barely on the job.
Obama to win.
One bloody Cliton in office was enough…
Re: Jaime – 20 to 30 years of experience and look where we are at! These politicans forget WHO put them there. Who they are working for! Im ready for something different something new because the old way of thinking isn't getting us anywhere. So get someone in before they are corrupted, so when they get in, hey maybe they will listen to the people.
OK, Barrak, how about adding the legalization of Marijuana… it would fit neatly into your liberal agenda and you would get at least 1/2 the Reppublican vote who are closet smokers and sick and tired of hiding it. NO JOKE, Barrak, take it and run with it. Feedback welcome..
A Republican who is voting for change and voting for Barrak this time.
Uhhhh….Isn't he EXTREAMELY homophobic? If that douche can't make his mind up at this point in the race WTF is he going to do if he becomes president. TEAM HILLARY!!!!
re.Alisha
With a name like that,you have to black!!
After campaigning with HOMOPHOBES like Donnie McClurkin this is the utmost in hypocrisy. SHAME Barack!
Hillary 08! A candidate for ALL Americans! LGBT Pride!
Re: sickofobama –
Actually, he was raised by his Grandparents in HI. His father who is from Kenya left him when he was 2, his mother remarried and they moved to Indonesia when he was 6 and lived there until he 10 when he moved to HI. Please stop talking about things you know nothing about.
Do any of you know where i can find the original posting of this article?
SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I DON´T THINK SO, YOU´RE SECOND CLASS, IDIOT. MCCAIN ALL THE WAY, HE IS THE ONLY GOOD CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.
Re: nate –
I can't believe we might have a president w/ the name O-R-A-C-K O-B-A-M-A.. I don't care that he's black, but come on he needs a new name..
I know this sounds stupid, but the image of America is very important.
I still support Hillary.
Speaking as a Canadian… trust me when I say America's image can't get any worse. I highly doubt a presedential candidate's name will increase or decrease America's image. So seriously… cut the bullshit. America doesn't deserve Obama, he's too good for you.
enjoy it while it lasts, son, cuz ain't nobody talking about the homos after the primaries.
Go Obama!
GO OBAMA! WE NEED YOU TO DRAG US OUT OF THIS RECESSION! THANKS FOR BEING A LEADER!
Re: texie – He's a christian. He attends United Chruch of CHRIST on 93rd Street in downtown Chicago. Geez, pay attention and stop spreading hate.
Neither of them are going to 'leave it up to the states' as some sheep said above–not Hillary, not Barack. Neither of them are going to legalize gay marriage. They have both been VERY explicit about that. Try reading some facts instead of listening to carefully-crafted, intentionally deceitful and appealing speeches. Look at voting history, look at real facts. Please stop being so ignorant. Those who follow the mainstream media are just as worthless to society as those who do not read the news at all. For real.
Kucinich would have made a great President. I guess people don't like change and just would like to stick to the same old, same old. Come on–be realistic. No matter who is elected, not much is going to happen. If you say otherwise, you are either not realistic enough or twelve.
Re: nate – You're right. That does sound stupid.
So, Perez, now he's your guy again?!?? Why not? I mean: There is something in the water that America is drinking for this kind of thing to be happening! Whatever. I give him day #2 in power, and we will all be sorry to have been so stupid.
HILARY for 2008!!!
I voted early. unlike a lot of yall, i choose to listen to the platforms and not be swept in by all this media brainwashing. in austin i have heard a ton of obama radio commercials and tv promos but nothing really on how he plans to unite the country.
I SAAAAaay go for the one with the EXPERIENCE and the intelligence to know how toget things done! and also, you get Bill too! it's a package deal! GEEZ!
GO HILLARY!
He's just saying all this stuff now to try to court people away from her, she's been vocally and proactively supporting the LGBT's from the get-go.
HILLARY '08!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED TO FIGHT LIKE HELL TO KEEP THIS MONKEY OUT OF THE PRESIDENCY. HOMOSEXUALITY IS SICK AND DISGUSTING. THE LAST THING WE NEED IN THIS COUTRY IS FOR IT TO BE MAILSTREAMED IN THE WAY BARACK OBAMA INTENDS. WE NEED TO PROTECT KIDS FROM GAYS SO THEY CANT MOLEST CHILDREN AND CONVERT THEM TO THEIR SICK MINDSET.
Wow, that brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful amazing man.
Gee. That's funny, b/c Obama has said in the past that he opposes gay marriage. He supports civil union, but opposes gay marriage.
Hillary, on the other hand, supports gay equality in every single way. She supports gay marriage as well as civil unions.
Obama will say anything to get votes. It's just really disappointing. Hillary is the better candidate in SOOO many ways
FAKE ASS!!! Barack freiken' Osama is INEXPIERIENCED!!! I'm sorry but he the dude wasn't black he'd be GONE!!! I'm not a racist or anything i mean i'm black myself! But i just think it's like EVERYONE is treating him differently cause he's black. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO EQUALITY????!!!??? OUR COUNTRY WILL BE IN HUGE TURMOIL IF HE WINS!!!
Re: Obama/Ron Paul – Ummm…Who the hell said this was a gay site?
WHAT HE IS PROPOSING IS DEFINTIELY AGAINST HIS MUSLIM RELIGION. IN ISALM THE HOMOSEXUAL IS LOWER THAN THE PIG. HE IS THEREFORE A HERETIC
OH OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO NOW???????????????? I'M MORE THAN HALFWAY SUPPORTING McCAIN..WHAT TO DO? IT'S A LONG TIME TIL NOV. AND I'M SURE WE'LL GET MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT ALL THIS…BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE A REALLY GOOD GUY…WHICH I KNEW ALL ALONG. WE'LL SEE.
Wow, all this talk of Obama being an anti Christ is scary..He might be??!!
BASICALLY HE IS SAYING "I WILL GIVE GAY PERVERTS THE SAME RIGHTS AS NORMAL DECENT HETEROSEXUAL PEOPLE". DO YOU SUPPORT THAT? NEITHER DO I….MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too little too late, don't y'all remember him and that gay bashing preacher touring the south, he lost my vote right then, i'd vote for McCain first. GO HILARY!
Sure Obama can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk? I don't know, but I'm not voting for someone who I'm unsure of when I KNOW Hillary can walk the walk.
WOW…some of you americans disgust me. Who cares what his name is or sounds like if that's the reason you are going to vote against him you really need to educate yourselves and stop being so ignorant. So what if his father is muslim, OBAMA is an AMERICAN born and bred. From the whole time he has been living in America has there been any proof linking him to any terrorist acts??? He is a christian, and acts and does things like any christian american I know sooo again what is your problem. I think it's funny because some of you Americans are still stuck in your racist ways. You need to read a book and get educated then should you really even be allowed to vote for who you think is best. And on his views I agree 100%!!!
Go OBAMA!!!!!!!
Re: alisha – OK ALISHA…………THAT IS WHY BY HUSBAND IS AFRICAN AMERICAN. STUPID BITCH!!!!!!!
YOU MUST BE WEARING A WHITE POINTY HAT. FUCKING STUPID BITCH!!!!!
When I look at the polls on CNN and keep seeing the numbers of all these people who are voting for Hillary, I kept thinking who are these people. But now I know who they are….they're all posters on this site. I still can't believe that this country is the most developed in the world yet, we have such backwards human beings. No wonder we have a president like George Bush. This country is doomed with the ignorance I read on this website. NO WONDER THE WORLD DOESN'T LIKE US. And since when is experience a requirement for the White House. i.e Bush —-this saddens me!!!
RECOGNIZING GAY MARRIAGE? ACTING AS IF HOMOSEXUALITY IS NORMAL? LETTING PERVERTS ADOPT KIDS? THATS CHANGE ALL RIGHT AND NOT CHANGE THAT IS GOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY!!! THE ONLY CHANGE THIS N1GGER WANTS IS THE CHANGE IN YOUR POCKET
Re: Black – Many differences with Obama and an average Christian. He spent 5 years during the "tender years" of his life in a Muslim school in Indonesia and didn't change to Christianity until he ran for public office. And his church is under investigation right now. Muslims and Islamic extemist declared a jihad on America, a holy war. Imagine the good laugh Bin Laden is having right now watching his Muslim Brother doing so well in America. You can google any of this but really google about his church. Kinda crooked, don't ya' think??
Amazing! i was already going to vote for him anyways, but seeing this has solidified my decision
Obama is freakin' awesome!! TO all you crazy people who still think A) that he's muslim, you are completly out of tune with the world. Look it up, instead of just hear-say. He is NOT Muslim, he is Christian. B) he's just "talk". Look up all the issues on his website! It's got all the policies and solutions that you people think he doesn't know anything about- he is very knowledgable! Have you read any of his books? He's brilliant! He's not asking for us to all sit around the camp fire and sing "Kumbayah" he's talking about getting things done, being respectful of each other, fighting for the right things, and not being suckered into all the drama and get real with the issues. C) he wont win against McCain. Face it guys, Hillary is BEHIND by at least 6 points in polls, where Obama vs. McCain has Obama ahead by 6 points! He has a better chace of getting into the white house then either of them!
So… What Im trying to say, is read a little bit about all the people, look up their biographies on wikipedia if you want! Just get the facts instead of listening to what other people are saying. If you still decide against him, well that's your decision and at least you got there on your own… but please stop believing everything you hear. Knowledge is power!
Barack n' Roll!! Obama 08'
This letter is a little late in coming, don't you think?
STUFF THAT IN YOUR PIPE, AND SMOKE IT, PEREZ. OBAMA 08 - LET'S EVOLVE THIS CENTURY.
Re: My vote is for Hillary – omg what a racist prick you are!!! grow the fuck up!
I like seeing how many of the younger Americans are supporting the liberal candidates in the US. I know for sure that many millions of people will be happy to get rid of the crazy Bushman… And hopefully McCain won't be the next president….
[Begin Rant] also… HILLARY IS SO FREAKIN' CRAZY!! how could anyone believe she is better for this country. First, she goes from one extream to the other all the time… ("I'm honored to be here with Barack"… to "Shame on you" Two days later! And we all know those fliers were out before Super Tuesday… why wait a month to protest?) She is stubborn about her vote for Iraq, saying she was duped into it. She's the ONLY First Lady to be subpeanoed and investigated (She wasn't prosecuted due to lack of evidence). She won't release her tax returns and is delaying other documents from being released from the White House. She's SHADY SHADY SHADY! She has completly mishandled this campaign, but blames everyone else! How is she suppose to run this country if she can't run her own campaign?? What about her 35 years experience? She has just as much experience as Barack- Both are SENATORS- not even Govenors!! She's never run anything. She didn't bring about her Universal Healthcare bill into fruition 10 years ago because she was trying to deal behind closed doors, still being shady. And who needs more political dynasties??? Big Bush, Clinton, Little Bush- Clinton? Wackkk. Vote for Change. [End Rant]
Re: Tinna from Iceland – Thank you Tinna, we (Americans) truelly do care about the world and all the people of the world. Just like everyone else…. You can tell by the heated debates going on, not just on this site, but all over. Know one wants another Bushman.. WOW, Iceland!! So cool! Thanks again !!
I'm an independent and Barack Obama has my vote. I believe he'll unite our country for the better. I believe he will be a GREAT president.
Hillary for the win!!!
Please Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island & Vermont: Don't let us down.
Do some research on Obama before throwing your vote his way. Watching his speeches doesn't make you politically informed. Maybe you can check out his history on the Subcommittee on Europe? He's chair of the committee since last year, but HASN'T EVEN CONVENED ONE POLICY MEETING!!! Nor has he visited Europe since then. So why should we believe all his BS promises about him meeting all kinds of foreign leaders? He's NOT BEEN DOING HIS JOB IN THE SENAT.
Also, his claim that he takes no lobbyist money is a lie. He doesn't take money *directly* from them, but just look it up and you'll see he's really no different from the rest of the lot. Not to mention that back in Illinois, he pretty much ran on lobbyist money.
AND his Iraq claim: He was against the Iraq-invasion when he was REPRESENTING ONE OF THE MOST LIBERAL DISTRICTS OF ILLINOIS. As soon as he was running for the national senate, he changed his tune. Look for his '04 interview where he said that he "wasn't privy to Senate information." and that he "didn't know what he would've done" if he had been in the Senate at the time of the invasion. He went on to add that he pretty much agreed with Dumbya's course at that point.
How very convenient!
You don't have to believe me, but PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE VOTING!
Re: HeyCool! – That's good to know..
I just hope that the participation in this years election will be better than it has been, so that some changes can be made.. Nothing will change if people just stand on the sideline..
And as for Obama and Hillary, I think they're both great candidates. We'll just have to hope they'll stick to their promises… (but I might not be the best to judge, since I've never lived in the US)
Re: Lisa – he's not muslim, and you are insane
GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA 08
This is the same person who refused to be photographed with Gavin Newsom (at a fundraiser Newson sponsored during Obama's run for senate) when Newsom was under fire for legalizing same sex marriages.
Obama is totally full of shit, he hasnt done anything, his entire life has been one empty ploy after another to attain presidential status. Obama is in the pocket of a cast of assholes and loosers like John Kerry and Louis Farrakahn. When was the last time Community Organizing was a qualifier for president of the us ? Let's face it do we need a man in the whitehouse who's stated goals is to agitate? How is this bringing the country together? Obama's work focused on helping poor blacks on Chicago's South Side fight the city for things like job banks and asbestos removal. His teachers were schooled in a style of organizing devised by Saul Alinsky, the radical University of Chicago trained social scientist. At the heart of the Alinsky method is the concept of "agitation"–making someone angry enough about the rotten state of his life that he agrees to take action to change it; or, as Alinsky himself described the job, to "rub raw the sores of discontent."
The only raw sore Obama should rub is the one on his face and give us all a break from his bullshit.
How much more bull___t is this man going to pour on America??? I wish the press would stop coddling him and show the world what he really is. I honestly do NOT believe he is going to help the GLBT community if he gets in the White House. Hillary has a proven record of support for the GLBT American citizens. COME ON PEOPLE GET ON THE HILLARY BANDWAGON NOW!!!!
Total BS!! He's got Donnie McClurkin, the incredibly anti-gay gospel singer, on his team but Obama loves us gays!! He'll say anything. This gospel-revival mania that everyone loves about Obama is just as fake as the right-wing evangelicals. Wake up Obamaniacs.
ANOTHER REASON WE DON'T NEED THIS N I G G E R MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE
WE NEED A STRONG REPUBLICAN CHRISTIAN WHO WILL DO AWAY WITH ALL THE FAGS AND FIX AMERICA
Re: g-girl – yup…seriously, he fits the description to a 't'…including his cult following, not only in this country, but apparently in other countries, too. the end is near.
Re: nate – you're DUMB!!! what name has to do with leadership???…. you're stupid really!!!
Go Clinton.Obama has no experience.he should be a preacher.the only reason he is getting votes is because when he gives speech all he does is try and make people feel good about themselves and people take it as he just gave a wonderful speech.when all he did was preach.he has no poilitcal experience.
I'm a Hillary supporter, but this makes me feel A LOT better about Obama wining. Way to go Barack!!
Re: Stupid – oh, so you're privy to his ideas, then??? because i'd LOVE to hear them. he parrots hillary's positions, copies others' speeches, and NEVER lays out an actual plan. so please, do enlighten the rest of us as to what he plans to do and how he plans to pay for it.
