Gay rights activists growing impatient with Obama

Many of the gay rights activists who will hear President Obama speak at the Human Rights Campaign banquet in Washington, D.C., Saturday worked to get him elected.

They had realistic expectations of what he could do for them if he won, but they have grown impatient with a president who has said nice things but done little more than extend limited rights to federal employees' same-sex partners.

Obama determined that granting health benefits to same-sex partners was beyond his authority.

"I don't care what he says Saturday night -- I want to see what he does," Illinois Equality Now founder Rick Garcia said....

"I've heard good words coming out of his mouth on things he wants to do, but I'd like a timeline," said John K. Barry, who sits on the board of the Human Rights Campaign. "Him coming to speak is alleviating the impatience a bit, but I'd like to have a understanding of what's going to happen when."

The gays don’t understand, they were suckered....ahem...by Obama, he will NEVER TAKE ACTION to advance gay rights in any way because he serves Islam first, and they don’t like gays.

It’s going to be interesting watching Obama squirm. All those he pandered to for votes are going to be ticked unless he follows through and pushes their ultra left agenda. When he does, some of middle America who “drank the juice” and voted for him are going to wake up.

his core supporters are spoiled bratty children who are addicted to instant gratification. The lid is about to blow because he can’t possibly satisfy them all. The heirs of Orville Reddenbacher are about to experience a windfall!

Eventually, they’re going to figure out that zero suckered them . . . . . just as he did the other gullible people who voted for him.

I guess the NRCC or whatever they are for the congressional elections are fully homosexual compliant for appointing a prohomosexual based marriage lesbian for one of the congressional seats.
