Thanks.

I don't begrudge anyone who is frustrated at Obama over his relative inaction on gay rights. I certainly think he needs to be held to his campaign promises, and I think ultimately he will.

I feel that there is *some* wiggle room, considering what is on the table right now...particularly that he doesn't need a fight that maybe he doesn't win right now, with Iran, Iraq, Guantanimo, Health Care, and a myriad of other things too. Which is to say that I think it is fair for someone else to hold his feet to the fire about it.

Here's what I wonder though: are people really expecting him to fix the economy, healthcare, the war, gay marraige right now? - Jim Jun 30, 09:49
