So, while I am not and never was a huge Obama supporter, I am willing to give him a reasonable amount of time, which certainly is longer than his first five months

Interestingly, like the blacks, the gays really have nowhere to go and the D's know that. It is not like the gays are going to flock to the R party because the media portrays Obama as dragging his heels Moreover, the gays are not going to vote for the R candidate out of spite. Rather, they wisely see that although the D's may not be perfect on this issue, the least the D's usually do in some nonaction as opposed to the R's who openly pursue anti-gay law.
