(18,791 posts)Man, this is one fiery thread.
Personally, I will support President Obama. While not every decision is perfect, it is a BIG job...a SUPER big job. I would challenge anyone here to try and do it...and make every single American happy. I don't think that is going to happen, ever.
I did not see this creep but I've heard some about him previously. Rather than assaulting the President for allowing him to speak, I think it best to find out exactly who allowed him to participate and then take action. Did the President REALLY, personally, put him on? I doubt it. With facts in hand, I would not have a problem letting the White House and DNC know that it was distasteful, at best. I always feel that you get the best results if a complaint is measured, honest and accurate vs. a rant.
Yes, there is work to be done in support of the LGBT community but it feels like that old phrase, about cutting off your nose applies. We must work with what we have (better than the other choices...see below) being constant and consistent.
Remember...these were/are the other choices!
McCain and Palin!
Romney and Ryan!
Bullies and Baggers...controling the White House, Senate and Congress!
Keep all that in mind please.
