A reader writes (before my post on Obama this morning):
It seems everyone who believes in marriage equality wants to bash Obama for not supporting their issue. Just imagine if Obama had said New York should pass the marriage equality bill, discussions would have been shut down immediately. Please name me one Republican who wants to be known as someone who takes orders from Barack Hussein Obama. The president has moved gay rights closer to the finish line much quicker by keeping his distance and not forcing the issue. He should be given props, but all I hear is sneers from the gay community. When are you guys going to learn he is four steps ahead of you on every issue?
By the way, my daughter is gay. She is only 18 years old, but I know how important the New York law is to her future. We also are African American and live in South Carolina. So we know a little bit about discrimination.
My thoughts on his presidential style here.
