He is focused on winning the election of the entire country right now, not giving celeb endorsements. If he were to do it for Prop 8 in California, why wouldn't he have to do it in Florida as well, or any other state that is proposing something on the ballot that is based in the conservative right. Also he isn't from California, so it isn't his State for him to be dabbling in. If it were Illinois, maybe you childish rant would be more than what it is, but as it stands, your "call to action" is just annoying. And to clarify, we are excited about Obama because he is not McCain and a more progessive choice for change; not 4 more years of Republican mistakes. Gay people forget there are other platforms in the election aside from GLBT issues. sooner,

Why isn't Obama aggressively fighting with us to defeat Prop 8 in CA? Can't he give a soaring speach before 80,000 on our behalf on this important issue? Surely he could move mountains for us. It looks like an Obama Administration is going to begin like a Clinton Administration with a big defeat for the gay community. I can't see why you guys are so excited by Obama unless you're suffering from self-delusion. Why doesn't Obama make a 30-second ad and run it in CA explaining why Prop 8 should be defeated? We could really use his so-called leadership right now as we are faced with losing gay marriage in CA which we have fought for for so long.
