12. I do not discredit what role activist have played in the movement. I am saying some credit must
be given to the President. He has said from day 1 that it takes the people to make things change in Washington. He is not a King who can wave his sceptor.

I guess my take on it is you could have screamed until you were blue in the face, marched and torched things with a Republican President none of these things would have been passed.

Is anything ever enough, NO, but Obama has given a good start to full equality and I can see that and will continue to support our democratic candidate and know that there is more change to come in the future. Does he need our dollars, yes, because the Repugs are well funded.

There is no Repub candidate that will advance the gay agenda, the goal is to win and I think people need to remember who the enemy is and how we can attain common goals. it is not by blaming
Obama or defeating Obama. It is by supporting the candidate that has done a lot and will do more in the future.
