Obama meets with gay activists in Russia
CBS News ^ | 9/6/13 | AP

Before leaving for home after the Group of 20 summit, President Barack Obama sat down with Russian civil society activists on Friday evening to assure them that he would keep pressing Moscow to respect human rights, some of the activists said. But Obama also explained to them why this wasn't always possible.

The meeting was held several hours after two dozen of gay activists rallied in St. Petersburg to protest Russia's new law banning gay propaganda, which prompted some activists to call for the boycott of the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.

Igor Kochetkov, the head of LGBT Network, who took part in the protest and also attended the meeting with Obama, said the activists pushed him to be more outspoken in his criticism of the rights situation in Russia.

OK, both our Embassy in Lebanon and in Turkey are being told to send home non-essential personnel for attack threat....and the most important thing this incompetent poofter can come up with IN Russia is to meet with who in Russia are considered criminals. Brilliant bobo— a monkey with no tail, looking for some.

I did hear about that sometime back...hadn’t read up on what transpired, nor heard anything of Putin’s personal thoughts in the wake. I hope that you are right in your supposition that the meeting had some substantive impact on the man.

Honestly, I cannot imagine spending any appreciable amount of time with Solzhenitsyn and walking away unchanged. A testimony such as he has is inarguable.

This guy is so obsessed with gays....because he is one. Just like his obsession with the Muslim Brotherhood.....because he is one of them as well. America is pathetic for allowing this pathetic POS to ever be elected to any office let alone the highest one. He is the worst of the worst in every single category there is.

The worst part of it all? His malignant narcissism about it all.

A gay muslim Marxist.

That about sums up their worldview. It’s only a matter of time before mandatory pedophilia becomes a “civil right” to them, sadly.
