14. Obama made his choice, and the homphobic evangelicals rejoiced:
"Hallaluah! Barack's on our side!"

2. You know I think Obama could have handled this better but
why don't they just leave this alone. He made a mistake. OK He probably won't again.

3. "why don't they just leave this alone." - IOW, gays should shut up and not fight for equality.
Shame.

4. He made a mistake, yes. But he didn't rescind his decision about it, last I knew,
which sounds like he's STAY THE COURSE on his mistake.

5. Worse. Not only did McClurkin sing, he was chosen to MC the whole event.
Disgraceful.

11. Disgraceful and it sends a message, which tells a lot about Obama.
That is so pathetic...he's saying f'you to those who criticized him with the MC move.

The guy is not serious. I'm sorry yet another pol is attacking the gay community by act or statement.

7. "They" have issues that need to be addressed.
Obama failed to address them.

8. THEY don't have full rights as citizens. THEY live in this country.
Why the hell should THEY shut up.

10. How sad. You'd expect this outside a Republican
event, but a Democratic event.

Obama and Bush seemingly share the same stubborn trait.
