Reply #21: Of course we wish he'd say more

But he can't overturn the California Supreme Court's ruling. So why shoot so many spitballs at him, instead of them? He can't do anything about it. Want to spit them at the guy over DADT? Hell, done that myself, that's something he can have an impact on. But he can't just reach down and slap this ruling aside. Hoping he says something, anything, is definitely legitimate. being frustrated that he hasn't is also legitimate. But I've seen so many posts here from people behaving as if it's somehow all his fault, and that's ludicrous.

Now like the OP notes, people are angry, and rightly so. And I realize that angry people don't always behave completely rationally, so, I've tried to keep my nose out of it, even when some of the comments are head-slappingly stupid. But honestly, to my eyes, it does look awfully peculiar that the five white (and one Asian) folks who just gave a giant "fuck you!" to the gay community are getting a free pass, no mention, no anger, while the black guy who, while not exactly engaged also can't do much about it, is catching all the damn blame.
