I will Criticize the President when he really needs it.
This is one issue where he is making a HUGE Mistake!
Pressure is on the President.
Talk show host Democratic one's especially are on his back.
Saying keep your promise!
Was that Klinger on Mash... he dressed to get out.
Now how would that look Commander and Chief?
You are being Pummeled from all sides with questions
about your citizenship, to who you have been friends with.
THE NRA IS TOO STRONG.... GAY RIGHTS HAVE CLOUT AND ARE TOO STRONG...african americans are too passive and sit back waiting for change.
NO VOTE NEEDED...Go for a easy win and change Mr. President.
Obama...They are going to beat you for years on this decision.
Mr. President.. after your done . Change the law so that the 1965 voting rights act becomes real!
It's letter writing time. It's phone call time.
Now comes the Famous Agency we all are associated with.
THE NAACP and a long time member and
Chairman of the Organization Julian Bond!

NAACP Chief: Gay Rights is Like Civil Rights
By BET.com Staff
African Americans, who are among the most outspoken critics of gay rights, should have a deep understanding of the struggle that homosexual and lesbian people face, the chairman of the NAACP said Sunday.
"Black people of all people should not oppose equality, and that is what marriage is all about," said Julian Bond, who has headed the nation’s largest and oldest civil rights group for more than a decade. "We have a lot of real and serious problems in this country, and same-sex marriage is not one of them. Good things don't come to those who wait, but they come to those who agitate."
In fact, many of those who descended upon the nation’s capital this past weekend were there to express their impatience with what they say has been the Obama administration’s failure to make good on those promises. Critics argue that the president has been vague on plans to address discrimination, completely ignoring any timetable for eradicating the current gays-in-the-military policy.
Obama said it is not fair to expect gay Americans to be “patient” in their quest for equality. “I appreciate that many of you don't believe progress has come fast enough,” Obama said, “but it’s not for me to tell you to be patient, any more than it was for others to council patience to African Americans petitioning for equal rights half a century ago.”
But, Obama added, “we have made progress, and we will make more. My commitment to you is unwavering,” even as America grapples with such gargantuan problems as the faltering economy and the threat of terrorism. “Do not doubt the direction we are heading and the destination we seek,” he continued. “We should not be punishing patriotic Americans who have stepped forward to serve this country. We should be celebrating their willingness to show such courage and selflessness on behalf of their fellow citizens, especially when we are fighting two wars. …I will end don’t ask, don’t tell. …”

Let gay's parade and openly expose belly buttons in the military.
It may win a few wars. The other armies will laugh themselves to death.

African Americans should be calling the NAACP, and the White House
and if it's rights wanted, then march and demand them.
Poverty, voices aren't to hungry to speak.
Impoverished communities are not to weak to march.
Blacks loosing ground, while gay's claim they are
fighting the same civil rights we fought.
