per inside sources name we have to watch out for is David Axelrod…don’t know what ax he has to grind, but his is the one who prevented Robinson from being shown.

There are some people in California who always vote “yes” on measures put on the ballot by the legislature, always “no” on measures put on the ballot by voters. So it would be a good thing if the measure to repeal Prop 8 comes from the legislature, rather than a petition drive.

Everyone’s talking like GLBT’s were intentionally slighted by the HBO ommission of the Robinson appearance —as though Obama or HBO had something to lose by showing it, so they “sold us out.” First of all, it’s an odd assumption that Robinson was Obama’s “Bone to throw to the gays” anyway. Second, who among us was in a hurry to catch a bone thrown at him? Not me. Bringing in a good guy to “balance” the bad guy would be a lame anyway, and none of us should have thought of it as a “consolation.”

I hope the Obama Administration team is more competent that his transition team (who are incompetent at best). If this was done willfully, then I’d say the GLBT community has once again been manipulated for the gain of another.
