SOUNDBITES — “According to a recent 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll, 50% of respondents said they would support an openly gay person to serve as president. 44% said they were opposed. However if it was argued during his two terms in office that Bill Clinton was ‘our first black President’ because of his supposed liberal policies that would benefit African-Americans (though I’m not quite sure what President Clinton did, that he wasn’t forced to do, that would benefit any minority except for Chinese monks with political donations to spend.) With that argument shouldn’t Barack Obama already be our ‘first gay President’ due to his liberal policies pushing the homosexual agenda?” —The Family Research Council, arguing Obama is doing too much for the gays (via)
Barack Obama has been pushing the homosexual agenda?
That’s a laugh. If he had been doing any such thing, something would have been done by now. Something like repeal of DADT, perhaps. At the very least, the medical bill just passed could have removed the extra tax from insurance benefits for couples.
The Mathew Sheppard act doesn’t count. I’m sure it made Mrs. Sheppard feel good. But, it does nothing for any living gay person.

Um, The Family Research Council is a bit too late to this party since America has already had their first gay president with James Buchanan. Good ol’Abe, along with Washington himself, and even the beloved JFK are rumored to have been bisexuals. Hell, there’s even rumors via Chicago Obama cheated on Michelle with another man.
