Whew, Obama just sneaked through on today’s presser, didn’t he? No questions about Prop 8. No questions about yesterday’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell ruling. And no questions fielded from queer media. This man his hitting them OUT OF THE PARK. Great job, American reporters! Let’s allow the crazy pastor in Florida to get more lip service than our own heroes. [Mediaite

@Bareback Hussein Osama: please don’t taint this site with that kind of childish “president OSAMA” rhetoric.

NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT GAY ISSUES!
Fitz
@Sean: Equal rights, fair play, and the capacity to keep your word are not gay issues.
Bareback Hussein Osama
@jamison: Yes We Can!

The White House press corps should be called the White House press whores. They’re effectively protecting Obama from criticism. And where was the fucking gay media?
Steve
As far as the “main stream media” seem to be concerned, “gay” does not seem to be an issue this year. They seem to have accepted that gays are going to get some rights, and maybe even less discrimination. Most people are more concerned with mundane things like having a job and keeping their house, and whoever is having their 15 minutes of fame this week. (Some preacher in Florida, threatening to burn Korans, seems to be having his this week.)
I think this is good. Let them be distracted by other things while the dam is breaking on gay rights. There has been a series of gay-rights wins this summer, with relatively little attention. If the main stream media was all over it, they might drum up some serious opposition. It is good for us that they are distracted right now. The next time they stop to think about gays, several big wins will be fait accompli.

I apologize that my miserable attempts at humor have failed. I’m trying to stop posting but it’s not working.
I realize I hijack every thread I post on, and that Queerty should ban me from posting ever again.

Please ban me from White House too!

IMAGINE IF A QUESTION HAD BEEN ASKED.
PRESS: “President Obama, what do you think of yesterday’s ruling on DADT?”
PRESIDENT: “From the beginning I have supported repealing DADT. My Administration has already begun taking the steps to ensure that all of our men and women in uniform are treated with respect. This is why I created a commission to ensure that this transition is a smooth one. BUT, we must also respect and follow the rule of law. We must do things in a sensible manner. I do not support anything that would put the lives of our men and women at risk.
My Justice Department will be reviewing this ruling in the coming days and we’ll make a right decision.”
Do we really expect that he’s say anything much different than this? He speaks of equality – but hides behind process and political speak.

*sigh*
LOL.. I swear, some of you sullen queens will be bitter and angry until the day you die. All of these petty and cynical articles about President Obama has become tired and predictable. Most of you closeted bitter gay republicans will find fault with a bunch of naked athletes in a locker room. (Proof of just how miserable you are – and how nothing in this world can relieve you of your pain)
Just get over it! Barack Obama is your President, and he’ll win
again in 2012. Get use to it, or simply kill yourselves….The world would be a better place if you did the latter!
Bareback Hussein Osama
@Black Pegasus: Glad to have you on my Plantation!
Bareback Hussein Osama
It seems like there’s more than one of me on here! Is someone impersonating the impersonator?
reason
Several legal scholars said the justice departments defense of DADT was tepid at best. Though they had to defend it the weak defense gives the Obama administration an undercover victory. The justice department has done its job by defending the law but they do not have to appeal the ruling. If the vote on DADT drags on and the GOP takes control after mid-terms the Obama administration would have been stuck with having to sway the GOP to kill DADT, which would have been futile, now in the worst case they can just let the court ruling stand.
reason
As for this Bare… Huss.. Osam.. character their posting is just typical of the GOP’s base. They are lacking intellectually so instead of trying to form cogent arguments they retort to crass third grade personal attacks. Go to the republican dominated comments and it is loaded with nothing but personal attacks and name calling, sparse substance. If Queerty lets them take over, people that actually make substantive arguments, some which I don’t agree with, will stop posting and the site will loose the power of providing a forum that leads to honest debate and introspection.

@Black Pegasus:
Not if my vote has anything to do with it.
MakinitUD
@Black Pegasus: The only reason you’re supporting Obama is because of his skin color. You will defend him over any actions. He’s been nothing but a spineless, wishy washy, coward. And that’s coming from someone who (SADLY) voted for him and believed his crock about “hope”….you and those who sheepishly follow him are either rich Hollywood types or simply fawn over him because he shares your same skin color. If you can dish it, then take it and that’s the truth, and baby truth hurts! Your man has been nothing but a failure and if you REALLY think he’ll get reelected in a little over a year….BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
I’m a moderate with the most liberal loving family and group of friends from Marin (burbs of San Fran) and we all would vote independent or not vote at all than vote for this “man”
Bareback Hussein Osama
@Bareback Hussein Osama: I am impersonating impersonator’s impersonator!
Black Pegasus
@MakinitUD: If you’re from San Fran, then I know you’re a racist sack of shit!
It’s a typical argument for people like you to inject race into this when I said nothing about race. Just shows how quickly you become so angry at people of color for what you perceive to be their fault. And save me the “I’m a Liberal Democrat” bullshit, because I don’t care to hear it! The truth is, YOU’re the one who’s solely obsessed with President Obama’s race, and the rest of your queeny brethren is as well.
As for 2012, I can give a fuck if you queens vote for him or not. It won’t change my plans, nor will it change the facts. You queens are no different than the Teabagger clowns, all of you are suffering with PTBPS (Post Traumatic Black President Syndrome)
Get the fuck over it and kick rocks!
Bareback Hussein Osama
@Black Pegasus: Anyone who does not vote for me is a racist sack of shit!
Sami
Whether one likes it or not, the American LGBT communities have never had so good.
President Obama’s administration has championed gay rights as much as they could.
Remember….There are important mid-term elections this November, and the Administration does not want to alienate any more supporters; the Tea Party clan is at the doors!
Yes, more can be done for the “community”, and it will probably happen during the Administration’s second half of its term.
There are much more important issues facing the Administration, than gay marriage, such as the state of the economy, Iraq/Afghanistan, the Middle East, etc.
Bareback Hussein Osama
Anyone who listens to a poster called “Bareback Hussein Osama” is clearly delusional.

@Sami:
I’m sick and tired of this nonsense that equal rights issues are a political liability. I’m tired of being told to “wait until next year” over and over and over by the same bunch of spineless effete elitist idiots the democrats manage to run every year.
You claim that supporting civil rights can rally the teabaggers? Well guess what? This lackluster leadership is rallying a hell of a lot of people to just stay home in November, myself included. Between the economy, health care and civil rights, there has been no leadership to speak of from this adminisitration , and I’m not impressed with the Democrats right now. Explain to me again why I ought to vote for such an ineffectual bunch? If they really tried and failed, I’d give them another chance, but they didn’t even try.
@Black Pegasus:
He’ll be a one-term President, and it won’t be because of his race. It will be because he hasn’t moved from the “consensus builder” he supposedly was to the “leader of the US” he needed to become.
Black Pegasus
@DR: Really? He’ll fail to win a second term because he wasn’t a “consensus builder”? LOL Are you nuts?
Then what the fuck has he been doing for the past 20 months? He’s been trying to be bipartisan and build relationships with people who despise him. If President Obama isn’t a “consensus builder”, then what the hell was George W. Bush? Bush won two terms without giving a fuck about us fags nor his opposition, yet you queens want to bash the biggest ally we’ve ever had in the White House for bullshit vague reasons you fail to fully comprehend. George W. Bush nearly brought this country to it’s calapse yet he won two terms in office and you queens didn’t even have his administration on your radar screens.
Yeah sure, Race has nothing to do with it..
*rolls eyes*

@Black Pegasus: I saved the country from CALAPSE !!!
Bareback Hussein Osama
Guys, sorry about the vile posts. I stopped taking my anti-crazy meds.
Anyone who listens to someone named Bareback Hussein Osama is just as crazy as I am! ! !
I’m the one who will CALAPSE.
Or did I mean COLLAPSE?
DR
@Black Pegasus:
LOL, that’s really the only response I can give you if you think this man is an ally. He has stabbed us in the back from his inauguration, but like an abused spouse you keep coming up with excuses for being used and abused.
Personally, I’m tired of being kicked around by the Democrats. Can’t lead, can’t take a stand, talk out of both sides of their mouths, won’t work on our behalf. What have they done to be allies? Publicly call for civil unions? Sit on ENDA? Water-down DADT repeal to an amendment which won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on and pass a few crumbs around which can be repealed by the next President.
Fierce advocate my ass (and that applies to ALL the Democrats). But you keep thinking it’s all about his race, it’s easier than acknowledging the failure that was a supermajority in the House, a majority in the Senate and a Democratic President.
Bill Perdue
@Black Pegasus: Huge and growing numbers of people, especially LGBT folks despise Obama because of all the hate he’s shown towards GLBT folks, African Americans ( http://www.blackagendareport.com/?q=content/democrats-death-de-branding )and working people. Why is Black Pegasus so eager to excuse that?
Obama began his campaign getting in bed with scum like Donnie McClurkin and ended it in bed with Rick Warren. Along the way he deliberately sabotaged same sex marriage in California and pandered to the bigot vote. Since then he’s defended Bill Clintons DADT and DOMA, refused to repeal them (the DADT compromise leaves military bigotry intact) and refused to push hard for ENDA.
On other questions he’s even worse. His racist policies are murdering GIs and civilians from Palestine to Pakistan. He busts unions, enforces austerity programs and rewards the looter rich with trillions. He sat on his ass, a loyal lapdog of BP, while they turned the Gulf of Mexico into a sewer. His ‘health care’ scam will give trillions more to HMOs and at the same time contains a racist provision to deny healthcare to imported workers and a sexist provision to deny payments for abortions.
From the point of view of the left, the antiwar movement, working people, GLBT folks, environmentalists and others he’s not just a failure, he’s the enemy.

Maybe if Obama wasn’t a homophobic black monkey serving at the foot of his coroporate and Zionist masters as their little house negro, he would have been spared the coming Republican Tsunami!
Bill Perdue
^^^^^ 32 is by the racist james-from-the-great-city-of-cambridge. It’s another forgery by this violent Islamophobic racist who dislikes being called an Obot, a Democrat and a racist.
Too bad. All his infantile forgeries and lies won’t stop me or anyone else from accurately describing him.
james_from_the_great_city_of_cambridge
^^^^^ james-from-the-great-city-of-cambridge is not just an Islamophobe but a half mick, half nigger (and all Jew) from Boston. What do you expect from an Irish monkey but love for the Kenyan interloper in Our WHITE House.

The above statement was put in the Charlie Crist thread by….the lovely Bill Perdue. Lovely human being you are…

34 and 35 are from james-from-the-great-city-of-cambridge, a DNC misinformation agent.
They prove that he’s the origin of the forgeries. It’s another forgery by this violent Islamophobic racist who dislikes being called an Obot, a Democrat and a racist.
All his infantile forgeries and lies won’t stop me or anyone else from accurately describing him.
People seem, if my e-mails are any indication, to be getting tired of his shutting down threads.

Forged comments by racist pig james-from-the-great-city-of-cambridge, a DNC misinformation agent in 39 and 40.
They prove that he’s the origin of the forgeries. He’s a violent Islamophobic swine who dislikes being called an Obot, a Democrat and a racist.
Too bad it he doesn’t like it. All his infantile forgeries and lies won’t stop me or anyone else from accurately describing him. Although he has a crush on Bigot in Chief Obama he’s more pissed off at being called a racist pig, which he is.
His petulant fury at being pinned down as a racist pig is what makes him try to shut down thread after thread.

I suck on GOP dick for a living.

^^^^50 – another forgery from james-from-the-great-city-of-cambridge, a racist pig. These forgeries this little piglets response to correctly characterized as Islamophobic vermin, an Obot, a Democrat and a racist.
Too bad it he doesn’t like it. All his infantile forgeries and lies won’t stop me or anyone else from accurately describing him. His petulant fury at being pinned down as a pig leads him to shut down thread after thread with his forgeries.

^^^^ No. 50? That didn’t make sense, did it. I meant no. 43 is a forgery by Negroid Jews that tickle Obama’s taint for a living.
Bill Perdue
Racist pig james-from-the-great-city-of-cambridge is posting two new adolescent forgeries, No 44 and 45, because he’s miffed and vexed by correctly characterizing him as Islamophobic swine, an Obot, a Democrat and a racist.
Too bad it he doesn’t like it. All his infantile forgeries and lies won’t stop me or anyone else from accurately describing him. His petulant fury at being pinned down as a pig leads him to shut down thread after thread with his forgeries.

Racist pig james-from-the-great-city-of-cambridge is posting one new adolescent forgery, no. 46, because he’s miffed and vexed by correctly characterizing him as a kike half-nigger pig, an Obot, a Democrat and a racist.
Too bad it he doesn’t like it. All his infantile forgeries and lies won’t stop me or anyone else from accurately describing him. His petulant fury at being pinned down as a pig leads him to shut down thread after thread with his forgeries. Heil Hitler!
