Amusing that the homosexuals can be spoonfed bullshit and eat it up.

It's like a guy can say one thing 500 times, but he says something different just once and they flock to him....

and people wonder why it's so easy to form cults..

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/us_politics/view/20120607obama_gets_enthusiastic_welcome_at_la_gay_event/srvc=home&position=recent

L.A.’s gay community turned out in force to celebrate the man who has been dubbed the nation’s "first gay president."

The event at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel was part of a two-day fundraising swing through California and Nevada during which Obama was expected to raise more than $15 million for his re-election effort. He started the day in San Francisco and ended with a $25,000-per-person dinner for 70 at the Beverly Hills home of Ryan Murphy, creator of the TV show "Glee."

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres, whose decision to come out of the closet in 1997 was covered as a major cultural — and potentially career-ending — event, emceed the party. Darren Criss, a heartthrob on "Glee," provided entertainment, after the singer Pink withdrew, citing illness.

The gathering was a who’s who of gay Hollywood, and included many of the creative minds whose portrayals of gays on screens large and small has nudged society toward accepting gay rights. Max Mutchnik, creator of "Will and Grace," was a co-host. Dustin Lance Black, Oscar-winning screenwriter of "Milk," was in the audience, as were Cher and her son, Chaz Bono.

The president, who spoke for 30 minutes, was relaxed as he ticked off his administration’s gay-friendly accomplishments, including the repeal of the military’s "don’t ask, don’t tell" rule. He didn’t mention gay marriage. He didn’t have to.

Recent strides in gay rights, he said, were simply part of the country’s history of civil rights struggles, of "this constant progression to include more and more people in the possibility of the America dream."

"And so this is just one more step in that journey that we’ve take as a nation. And it doesn’t always go in a straight line, it goes in zigs and zags. There are times when the body politic takes a wrong turn and there are times where there are folks who are left out. But what makes America exceptional is eventually we get it right, what Dr. King called the arc of the moral universe — it bends toward justice."

Every so often, he said, he looks at "a little checklist in my desk in the Oval Office — my ’to do’ list."

With a hearty "Check!" after mentioning each item, he cited the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, ending the Iraq war, defeating Osama bin Laden and ensuring health care access for 30 million who were uninsured.

But he acknowledged persistent problems with the economy and joblessness, issues that make Americans anxious. That anxiousness, he said, will be easy for Republicans to exploit as the election nears.

"It’s very easy to put on a bumper sticker: ’It’s Obama’s fault,’ " he said. "We’re going to have to work through that."

Obama is scheduled to hit a new money-chase milestone on this trip: his 150th fundraiser. The 150 events have taken place since he filed as a candidate for re-election in April 2011, according to a tally by CBS News. Funds raised at these events support the Obama campaign as well as the Democratic National Committee and several state Democratic parties.

Republicans pounced on the pace of his fundraising.

Funds raised at these events support the Obama campaign as well as the Democratic National Committee and several state Democratic parties.

Republicans pounced on the pace of his fundraising.

"Instead of taking action to create jobs, the president has decided to focus on holding a record 150 fundraisers to save his own — it must be tough being president when there are so many parties to attend," said Republican National Committee spokesman Matt Connelly.

Before the event began, a long line of partygoers waited on the sidewalk outside the hotel to check in. CBS chief Les Moonves and his wife, Julie Chen, waited patiently for their wristbands. Obama, Moonves said, "has shown great leadership" on the issue of gay marriage.

Though he heads a news division, Moonves said, "ultimately journalism has changed ... partisanship is very much a part of journalism now."

He hastened to add that despite his presence, "I run a news division. I’ve given no money to any candidate."

I could not agree with you more. That is how the GOP created the cult that believes only the other parties play the political game and that theirs are the only clean candidates. Not to mention the entire Birther cult!!!

What is even more surprising, is that there are those who buy it lock, stock and barrel! :rofl::rofl:

Yup.

The two-party system has done more to destroy this country than most like to admit.

You either have to be a ** or a DemocRat or you're some sort of evil outsider. It's a damn joke of a system we have right now.

When this country was founded they used to insult each other for being like we are today. It was a big insult to call someone a 'party man.' Now look at us today.. Unless you're of the opposite party, it's a huge compliment to these goons. "I'm a proud Democrat." - "I'm a proud Republican" - bla bla bla.

Come on, lets see a show of hands - Did anyone really believe Obama wasn't for gay marriage when he said this?

"I do not support gay marriage. Marriage has religious and social connotations, and I consider marriage to be between a man and a woman." – Barack Obama

will be ruled by tyrants."
