“Just words” is pretty much all President Obama has offered gay people. With the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) announcing that the Democrat would address their black-tie dinner in Washington, D.C. this coming Saturday, Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director of GOProud thought it time time that the President Obama come “clean with gay Americans“:
Talk is cheap, but unfortunately with this administration talk is all you get. It’s time President Obama told gay Americans just how unimportant they are to him and his administration.
To remind people that the President is all talk, his organization released a video highlighting the Democrat’s failure to fulfill the promises he made on the campaign trail:
My sense is that guests at the dinner will give the Democrat a long and enthusiastic standing ovation, after all, there is that (D) after his name which all too many gay activists believe stands for “divine.” Given the president’s partisan affiliation, the mere fact that he blesses the left-leaning organization with his presence will obviate the need for action. He’s a Democrat after all!
Recall this past summer when, as Charles Winecoff writes, “many of His supporters in the LGBT tribe were growing restless with His neglect, it only took one White House cocktail party to get them eating right out of His palm again.” President Obama knows one thing: if you want to curry favor with certain gay activists, you don’t need to do anything, you just need invite them to a party or come to their own.
I am of two minds about this. On the one hand, I appreciate pointing out the weakness and hypocrisy of the Gay Left in how they settled so readily for Obama’s empty promises. On the other hand: criticizing Obama for not keeping enough of his Gay Left-wing promises is not a road I want to go down. Some of the things he promised them, I hope we don’t do.
It is fair to point out the hypocrisy of this administration because President Obama lavished the gay community with promises and rhetoric that could never be accomplished. To be perfectly honest though, as a lesbian, I’m tired of listening to the gay community complain about gay marriage when we have two wars, a financial disaster, unemployment nearing 10-percent, a country completely divided, and the international world fearless. I wish the gay establishment showed as much passion for America as they do for their gay agenda.
So that’s his thing, plying the unsettled with liquor?
A midi track of the Exorcist theme song??? And the implication there is?
Excellent video.
1: I don’t consider ENDA, DADT & DOMA repeal or UAFA to be “Gay Left-wing”. I might give you hate crimes, though I remain more neutral on that one. Nevertheless, pointing out Obama’s hypocrisy and broken promises is always a good thing. So let’er rip!
4: That Obama is The Church Lady’s special friend?
I’m with Holly.
Get ENDA, whoop de doo.
When the economy is flying anyone can find work.
10% unemployment is squashing upward mobility for everyone right now.
I think he has a purpose behind the delays. If he gives the gay community what they are seeking, will they give him money next time? With gay issues “solved”, will they start to examine his other agenda more closely?
HE HAS ONLY BEEN IN OFFICE FOR LESS THEN A YEAR HE CANT CHANGE EVERYTHING!
GOD, your saying he is making the gays look bad, look at what u just made…
I can’t believe this! GAH!
