Reply #157: So it's just tough shit for LGBT. Is that it?

Gee. Would be nice to have a president who acted out of principle. But now he gets to trot out his grudging support when he knows that it won't pass. It's not my fault that he is such a weak leader that his own congress wouldn't support him. That seems to be your argument. I think he is quite eloquent and could have used his first two years and the mandate from the election to do all sorts of progressive things. He spent the time courting the republicans and making sure that he would never upset them. His first two years were wasted trying to get the right wing to see how smart and good he was. To that end he avoided pushing anything that would get republican hackles up. He conceded before he started. We will never know what he might have accomplished if he had been man enough to try.

So you keep on backing up two steps for every step forward. Cause that's how progress is stopped.
