Reply #103: You're not a "fierce advocate" for something if you speak out against it. [View All]

You can dodge this point all you like, but it doesn't make the President any more of an advocate for LGBT equality.

Your blind faith in the President isn't allowing you to recognize simple facts. Facts such as Democratic majorities in both houses. Facts such as Obama's ability to tell the Democratic Congressional leadership that failure is not an option. Facts such as the requirement that the Government defend laws on the books only extends to showing up in court. Facts such as the President's ability as CIC of the military to order a freeze on DADT dismissals.

The list goes on of simple things that a "fierce advocate" could easily do, but Obama hasn't.
