| 45. The president doesn't have the power to do that alone - we shall see. |

As many of you are very fond of pointing out, Bill Clinton promised much to the gay community when he campaigned, and after election, he discovered that it was much harder to deliver than he had expected.
I don't believe grandiose campaign promises. I've learned the hard way to keep my expectations low.
In any case, either Obama or Hillary are way, way better than any Republican.

It's fair to say that the McClurkin incident is probably the single thing I have against Obama. |
