Comments on: Senate leader wants answers on military’s gay ban http://www.365gay.com/news/senate-leader-wants-answers-on-militarys-gay-ban/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:11:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Stephanie Smith http://www.365gay.com/news/senate-leader-wants-answers-on-militarys-gay-ban/comment-page-1/#comment-73951 Stephanie Smith Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:00:15 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=9971#comment-73951 OK I dont understand all this negative talk about steps in the right direction. Did any one really expect for Obama to take office and the next day all would be right with the world? There are processes to be fallowed, processes that take time. You cant build a solid foundation by rushing through it. Dont get me wrong, I am an advocate for action but action through the right channels so it does not get yanked out from under us later. Would any of you rather go back to the way it was before? OK I dont understand all this negative talk about steps in the right direction.

I can't believe the inaction of Obama. And the fact that American soldiers with years of service are getting treated this way because of discrimination is beyond the pale. Obama is completely without courage to do the right thing. The worst are the gay and lesbian "civil rights leaders" letting the democrats run roughshod over them. Maybe they are star struck at their meeting with him, and/or enamored with their own celebrity at being able to accomplish some negotiations behind the scene. What an enormous failure. The "leaders" were probably approached by democrats with promises of "working together." Look how that "working relationship" strategy worked out -- soldiers dumped on their ass month after month while the gay leaders sip Starbucks in New York and Washington.

After all, there are Olympic Bids to make! I want one more person to tell me how busy Obama is with the "important" issues. The Obama Administration can not be bothered with such trivial matters.
