President Obama

The President's Record is Irrelevant

Anderson Cooper jumped onto the "President Obama Doesn't Care About Gay People" bandwagon last night.

Anderson Cooper called out President Obama on his Tuesday show for flip-flopping on gay marriage.

Obama is under increased scrutiny about his "evolving" views on gay rights in the wake of the battle for gay marriage in New York. Obama will be in the state on Thursday to attend a high-priced fundraiser with gay donors.

In his "Keeping Them Honest" segment, Cooper said, "New questions are being raised about what the president actually believes about gay marriage and whether his public opposition to it is real or just political posturing."

The administration's record is lengthy and thorough, and it all points to just one thing: President Obama is responsible for major landmark achievements on the issue of gay rights.

Strange that the more important issue, then, is what he's said instead of what's he's done. Usually when the president gives a speech about gay rights, the gay community and various firebaggers reply with, "BAH! Just words!" Now, when his actions show a stellar pro-gay record, everyone appears to be focused on wanting more words while ignoring his actions.
