Pres. Obama Addressed "Human Rights Campaign" Dinner 3

[dizzin0nz]

he has to be the first "real" politician/leader of a state?!

[StartLoving2]

dizzin0nz, yup, truly the greatest leader in the history of the world, and just as if Aragorn, ML King, Gandhi, Mandela, Lincoln, Geo Washington had been left to fight alone - Pr. Obama will be defeated unless we devote ourselves to the cause at barackobama d o t com

[philip0460]

A great president who sticks behind the minority even when so many in the majority don't want him to. That takes a special president! Thank you, President Obama!

[StartLoving2]

philip0460, yes, but he doesn't want "thanks," he wants folks working alongside him at barackobama d o t com.

Does anyone else find the music at the end strange? A bit 19th century? Does it invoke in anyone else's mind other, less equity-inducing, speeches that might have ended with the same music?

[jckissner]

No...It's "Hail To The Chief", why is that strange?

[tkathryyn]

hahaha the right wingers are crying now.

[janonda42]

I love this man! I'm a straight ally for the gay community and my passion resulted in my first published book "The Spell of Religion and the Battle Over Gay Marriage." I am so elated that our president understands this concept. There's hope for America!

[RangRing68]

Clinton said the samething but turned the other way.

[StartLoving2]

Clinton explained this recently

RangRing68, and on this one, he told the truth - WE DIDN'T STAND AND GET HIM THE VOTES ON THE HILL. barackobama d o t com - GET HIM THE VOTES.

i was tearing up.... finally a president who knows what he is doing!...im so happy the track this country is on with regards to LGBT equality, and cannot wait for the ability to marry who i chose, not who law tells me i can

[marcoslalo]

[ranchuk]

Obama is the who clearly understands that that he serves and represents the best interests of ALL Americans! Bravo!!

[tomanyasses]

your trying to be funny, nobody this dumb

[firenze1959]

I cried.

[facebook234]

this president is amazing ,,,,

[pwpg06]

Isn't he?? :)))))))))))

[janiece59]

Truth and power speaks up. A great speech, renews my faith in Obama and I'm straight. I only say that to show you don't have to be part of a community to hope they are treated fairly. I won't become gay because I wish my LGBT neighbors to live in peace and my children won't be any worse off to know I can love them no matter what they decide is right for them in their life.

[fraujesika]

right on obama. thank god we have him!

[Linu86]

He made me cry!!

[flightofheaven]

God damn it, he made me cry.

I'm not even LGBT, but those words speak to us all. Sexual orientation be what it may, we all deserve to love and be loved in return, without fear of reprisal.

[pwpg06]

Yes !! :))))

We just got to ask ourselves this question

Since when a citizen's sexual orientation makes them more or less

American to enjoy the rights and freedom we all have?... WE ALL ARE AMERICANS AND WE ALL HAVE TE SAME RIGHTS!

WOOOHOOO HURRAY OBAMA!!! :))))))))

[krscreativeoptns]

Wish I had been there. How extrordinary to be an American with this man as our President.

May God watch over him.

[fraujesika]

most definitely!

[StarLitStranger]

Pretty awesome. I am glad to see he feels so strongly about this cause.

[Smartassawhip]

We need a strong public option in the final bill. In the comment section of my profile you will find several resources that will help you become more involved. Please take a moment to sign the petitions and make a few phone calls. Thank you.

[rewinn]

Another moment of which ALL Americans can be proud! It's about equality, that's all!
