We Need To Stop This Obama Bashing, Gay Folks


On several gay blogs, I'm seeing this attack on Obama. Either it's about Rick Warren, DOMA, what he said 12 years ago, how many queers are in the cabinet or in White House, and so on. But you know what? Enough of these sucker punches!

The man hasn't taken oath and they are already treating him like Bush. He's not President yet and they are ready to throw him out. I don't know if this is some hidden Hillary voters issues or a secret PUMA plan, but they need to calm down.

To be really real, he don't own us anyhing. He's not serving just the gays, he's serving the nation. There are people losing their homes and health care, so I'm aware that our issues may not be on top of the list. I'm going to wait and see what Obama's going to do. He has a lot on his plate and we should be aware of that. I don't know where this...attitude is coming from.

Yes, we are pissed and tired of the foolishness besetting our lives, but goddamnit give Obama a frakking chance. Let him frak up 8 months from now and then address the issues. Hold him accountable, but also be reasonable and real. Stop digging up old ass documents, and crying over Hill-Hill's spilled milk. Obama spoke up for us, defended us, talked about us in his big winning speech...we should be thankful for all these things.

Family, Obama is our friend. Let's not treat our friend like an enemy and let's not bite the man that can help us. We need all the support we can get. So enough of picking, please.

Oh and another thing...Where was all of this mess when the campaign was happening? It just feels a bit petty to do this now.

I agree with you...life is best lived when EVERYONE gets what they want...we have to learn to give and take a little
