OK, I see what you're saying Summer Hathaway Jun 2013 #117

What message was the First Lady delivering to the public that night? FreeState Jun 2013 #116

Exactly my point. Summer Hathaway Jun 2013 #118

Where you aware that Obama had not followed through before this event? FreeState Jun 2013 #120

What President Obama did or didn't do, Summer Hathaway Jun 2013 #121

Excuse me? FreeState Jun 2013 #122

I do sincerely aplogize. Summer Hathaway Jun 2013 #123

Okay, back with you ... Summer Hathaway Jun 2013 #124

IT IS NOT A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION MNBrewer Jun 2013 #125

I dunno, yelling about executive orders to someone who wasn't elected, Warpy Jun 2013 #9

But she does have an official role. It is likely why she was at a political fundraiser. Behind the Aegis Jun 2013 #13

There is NOTHING OFFICIAL about anything she does Warpy Jun 2013 #14

Then she shouldn't have been there. Behind the Aegis Jun 2013 #15

I am really disappointed in you. William769 Jun 2013 #18

I'm disappointed in your views on this Marrah_G Jun 2013 #24

I would guess that Mrs Obama wakemeupwhenitsover Jun 2013 #84

That's not what angers me about this. yardwork Jun 2013 #28

By the way here is the jury result message from the lock FreeState Jun 2013 #71

Did anyone alert on the post that you replied to? wakemeupwhenitsover Jun 2013 #86

It was alerted on and not hidden. William769 Jun 2013 #87

Unbelievable. wakemeupwhenitsover Jun 2013 #88

It's rigged. nt William769 Jun 2013 #89

I alerted again. wakemeupwhenitsover Jun 2013 #90

Unfortunately that will not do nothing. William769 Jun 2013 #91

Its one of the reasons Im thinking my time is spent better elsewhere FreeState Jun 2013 #92

Agreed. William769 Jun 2013 #94

The gist of that thread: "How dare a commoner (especially a gay one) question the divine Ms. Obama!" nomorenomore08 Jun 2013 #16

What did you expect? Seriously, what did you expect? William769 Jun 2013 #17

I was on that jury. QC Jun 2013 #34

Obama worship - untouchable dbackjon Jun 2013 #35

Is it Obama worship or homophobia? I think it's mostly the latter. yardwork Jun 2013 #36

I do understand the anger; Call Me Wesley Jun 2013 #50

My disappointment with Obama has very little to do with gay rights. yardwork Jun 2013 #56

Then these need to be blocked. Call Me Wesley Jun 2013 #62

At the risk of getting banned... Behind the Aegis Jun 2013 #44

I wonder what would happen if you or I walzed into the BOG and called them all homophobes. yardwork Jun 2013 #57

We already know the answer to that. William769 Jun 2013 #58

I can't post there MNBrewer Jun 2013 #113

I replied to that MuseRider Jun 2013 #64

Thank you, but if logic and facts were effective in fighting homophobia it wouldn't exist. yardwork Jun 2013 #66

I respect the Obamas... Libertas1776 Jun 2013 #41

Yes, that's exactly what happened here, same as so many times before. yardwork Jun 2013 #48
