Obama has never used the bully pulpit of the presidency effectively on anything. I didn't vote for a negotiator-in-chief, I voted for a commander. I wish he was more like Bush who just said fuck it and forced what he wanted done down people's throats. Bush got reelected! There's so much he could do with signing statements and recess appointments. His wimpiness on so much drives me fucking crazy. Be that as it may, I'm glad Virgil is a believer and hope he's right.Jaynehttp://injaynesworld.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177853092763931430.post-88009578088717915352011-06-23T21:24:41.260-06:002011-06-23T21:24:41.260-06:00It is my pleasure 'cause you're so damn go...It is my pleasure 'cause you're so damn good.

We need to remember that this is a homophobic country for the most part. If he threw all his weight behind gay rights his re-election chances will be thwarted. If he's re-elected I guarantee he will back gay marriage, no president has ever even hinted at supporting gay marriage, Obama realizes that we can't just go from 1 to 10 over night, it takes time.VIRGIL_RTBhttp://redtownblues.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4177853092763931430.post-28267822025226981462011-06-23T21:02:38.802-06:002011-06-23T21:02:38.802-06:00You guys rock!
