Obama and his base.

By the time this year's tally for gay service members discharged under the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy had hit 250, Rep. Alcee L. Hastings said he could wait no longer.
The Florida Democrat decided in June to send a letter to President Obama demanding that the policy be repealed. Mr. Hastings said he was surprised when 76 other members - most of them fellow Democrats - agreed to add their signatures, and even more surprised when the letter went unanswered for the next two months.
"We're being ignored," he said.
The president won't be able to ignore the simmering discontent within his own party much longer, the congressman said, not on this military policy or on a range of other issues on which the president appears to be charting a course that veers away from his political base.
Evidence of this has been abundant in the health care debate, where a core group of Democrats reacted swiftly to signs that the White House was getting ready to abandon altogether a public insurance plan as part of its health care bill. But anxiety is growing in other areas, too.

You think you’re being ignored now? Wait until the government has to pony up 100% of the cost for all AIDS treatments.
“Obama inaction angers his base”
You mean THEY didn’t know that he was not a leader? Organizers make shitty leaders...they only know how to delegate anything with meaning and never take a stand on anything...look at his state record...”present” instead of voting...and all of the “czars” to do whatever the hell they want...this Mutt will never be a leader...
Well, Obama has his hands full with health care right now. And he’s got to review his car sales figures.
I’m sure that decisions have been made to set priorities. Obama does not want to take on the gays in the military issue, or gay marriage right now. He will get to them later. He wants to save his political capital.
GET USED TO IT, OBAMA VOTERS.
THAT'S THE BIG "HOPE AND CHANGE" YOU VOTED FOR.
A BIG PUFF DREAM OF SMOKE AND MIRRORS.
IDIOTS.
Plus as Rush says the “Add-a-dic-to-me’s”
Told ya so.
The gays can pick a number and wait in line, then.
What the hell is an IMPEACHED and CONVICTED federal judge (for bribery of course) holding office for, and why are the people in his district idiotic enough to vote him into office ?
ALL of his followers have practically worshiped this human because of what he will bring to this country!!!
Strangely ALL of his followers actually had a different vision of what that "CHANGE" would be!!!
NOW that change is not what all thought it would be. NOW that change is not meeting their expectations of the future!!!!
Because they are not unified with their concept of what "CHANGE" should be...They should be able to be easily devided!!!
I have been talking to many that blindly elected Mr. Change into office. They are not happy. They see a man that is not in control but a man trying to appease the special interests of all that have brought him into power.
They no longer see an untainted messiah that came to release them from their woes.
And quite frankly they see a man that is nothing more than a textbook "Politician." A puppet.
This is the man's CLAY feet that should be exposed. Show the world his clay feet, and his weakness will be exposed.
The so called "messiah" is just a politician and a mouthpiece. A puppet for those that seek the undoing of this country. Nothing more than a sleeping dog infested with fleas of his handlers.
He is a fool.
The lib retards, homos & race baiters are up in arms over 0bozo throwing them under his already crowded bus as well.
