The Advocate raises the following question: As a candidate Obama promised us a lot; as president he’s delivered very little -- and many gay people are getting impatient. Does the outcry unmask this president’s indifference, or reveal our own impotence as a movement? . . . The hero was a player after all.

Sadly, at this point I do not believe that Obama meant a single word of his campaign promises to LGBT Americans. We had two things that he wanted: votes and money, and he obtain a lot of both. Many in our community were played for suckers and I confess I was one of the suckers. It will be a cold day in Hell before I support Obama on anything unless and until he delivers on his promises.
