One of the tragedies of this whole situation is that Obama could have issued a stop/loss order the very day he took office. <br /><br />He has betrayed virtually all of his campaign promises to LGBT people. And another tragedy is that all too many LGBT rights bloggers are quite quick to drink the Kool Aid of Obama's rhetoric and promises that he has shown to be mere empty rhetoric that elevated him to the office of President in the first place. <br /><br />He may be counting on his superficial charm and empty rhetoric to win in 2012, as he did in 2008, but increasing numbers of LGBT people and progressives are seeing through him, as seen by comments on assorted blog posts, and are realizing that he has betrayed us big time.

I just posted this comment to David Mixner...Jerry,<br /><br />I just posted this comment to David Mixner's blog:<br /><br />"The bottom line is this: Every time a skilled LesBiGay soldier is drummed out of military service during wartime, the likelihood goes up that one or more of that soldier's colleagues goes home to his family in a box. That's how essential LesBiGay soldiers are to our campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that's why there will be no f***ing victory, political or otherwise, until a moratorium is called on DADT discharges."DC HAMPTON JACOBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884630801131861786noreply@blogger.com
