looks just like his uncle

Actually a pretty decent speech. It's to bad he hasn't been able to accomplish much during his time in the white house

@princess7strawberry Those statements weren't aimed toward you, sorry if you misconstrued. They were aimed at Obama.

@PolytheisticDeities I voted "no" on Prop 8, and we still lost. I don't feel proud at all about California in that respect. So, here I am back to tell you that yes, I AM a bit angry. But instead of arguing against some random person in the virtual world, stop saying that /I'm/ the one who is pathetic and channel your energy where it needs to be.

@princess7strawberry You think I don't realize how our government and politics work? Of course there is more to it than just his support but him endorsing FULL equality for ALL Americans is a big step. Obviously he has a lot of persuasion power maybe he should use some of it instead of being a pushover like he is on almost everything. And snippy? Please, when your rights are being voted and debated on please come back and tell me your not a BIT angry.

Honestly, when I messaged you, I wasn't picking a fight. I was truly curious what you had to say. There's no need to be snippy with me. When I mean "other people", think about everything that goes through the system in order for something to happen. The president has a lot of power, but not full. Otherwise, the US wouldn't be a democracy. "It's unrealistic to compare [...] Bush to [...] Obama" - exactly my point. Instead of "waiting for the world to change", do something about it.

@princess7strawberry It takes a lot of effort to say he supports something? Please, that's pathetic. All he has to do is say "I've evolved, I support full marriage equality for ALL Americans" Is he seriously to busy to even say that? Other people? What the hell are you talking about - please explain this.. Bush was a conservative Repubican. It's unrealistic to compare my expectations of Bush to that of a supposedly "progressive Democrat" like Obama.

@PolytheisticDeities Well, take a look at everything he has to do. We're faced with a lot of crises before he was even elected into office. We were dug into a hole (which was 8 years or so in the making), and he's trying to get us out of there, which will take more than his 4 years in office. And a lot of it is not solely his decision; there are so many other people working in the system to be taken into consideration. Would your view still be the same if, say, Bush was still in office?
