Obama only wants the GLBT support and voices when it’s politically convenient for him

Obama refused to get his picture taken with Gavin Newsom in [2004], because Newsom was a staunch supporter of GLBT marriage. Gavin talks about it:

“Four years later and a denial from the Obama campaign, Newsom told Reuters, “One of the three Democrats you mentioned as presidential candidates, as God is my witness, will not be photographed with me, will not be in the same room with me, even though I’ve done fund-raisers for that particular person — not once, but twice — because of this issue.”

With Obama conveniently leaving out “Gay and Lesbian” from his stump speech in Idaho and him having no opposition to gay cure preacher Donnie McClurkin on his campaign tour, even after him hearing about McClurkin’s comments, is there any question Obama only wants the GLBT support and voices when it’s politically convenient for him?

    Right. The uniter is really a divider, and the post-politics guy is really all about political calculation. We’ve been here before…it isn’t a good place to be.

    All those states yet to vote — don’t believe Obama’s “we’re wrapping it up” rhetoric. Let your voices be heard — vote Hillary.

    He is a major divider…..just examine the quote “I think my supporters will vote for her, but I am unsure whether her supporters will vote for me.”Such arrogance.

    Hillary 08! And only Hillary 08.
