The president won’t be at the bi-annual Presidents Cup Golf tournament in San Francisco, according to this report. Does that mean he’s staying in D.C.? Is he hanging out after addressing HRC on Saturday night to make an appearance at the National Equality March? The White House isn’t commenting, but if Obama does plan to involve himself in NEM, you can expect an entirely different event on Sunday: Security will be tight, barriers will be in place, and you’ll be advised to tone down the anti-Obama rhetoric. But it will also make Cleve Jones’ dreams come true.

Obama Won’t Be Golfing This Sunday. Does That Mean He’ll Be Marching?

I think he’ll be there along with 500,000 Marchers. This is a historic event. Despite the complains of many, our Community has come together and we will see the positive results of demanding our rights.
We should all be thanking Cleve Jones for seeing the value of a large public demonstration. Bring on our equal rights.

Obama has better things to do then involve himself in this pittance of a gay confab.
CLEVE JONES FAIL.

I’m going to be there.
I know that Obama’s just gonna stand up and say “oh all gays should luv me!!11! heehee”, and gays will SWOON.
I hate the fact that he’s such a smooth-talker. He wants the gay love again before he drops us… AGAIN.

Finally, President Obama is going to keep ALL those promises and deliver full equality to us on Sunday. Thank you Mr. President for keeping your promises!

Who knows… but if I were Obama I would not play golf in a founding center of gay rights during a gay rights march in DC. I doubt he will show at the march, but at least he might end up not rubbing it in our faces.

Funny how EVERYTHING is ALWAYS about Obama. The sun rises and sets on Obama. All Obama has to do is “show up” and all will be right for gays. Obama knows that’s all it takes is Obama’s divine presence to send the gays off to be Obama’s fierce defender, not the other way around as Obama says.
AS IF there is going to be any anti-Obama rhetoric. Please, the minute he shows up it will turn into another Obama Concert, all the gays will get drunk earlier than planned and start looking for hooks ups, you know, Obama concerts are so hot.
Most of the people going are Obama zombies. They have no idea what they are even marching on. They’re throwing around rhetoric about how they’re protesting Clinton’s policies. They’re still too embarrassed to admit they got duped. Obama is still the Messiah, the Son of God who takes away all of the sins of the world for the gay community who will continue blind loyalty for 0bama out of sheer embarrassment. The love thier daddy and it’s those baaad tewible Wepubwicans somewhere out there that lied to them this time. Democrats aren’t exactly the same liars. Everything is STILL the Republicans fault and don’t you dare blame their Daddy! He has too much on his plate!
