Today, I want to take the opportunity to endorse Barack Obama for President.
Note: This is not an endorsement from Truth Wins Out -- because my organization does not endorse candidates.
Obama has proved himself worthy of reelection. The president has made strides on LGBT equality issues, performed well in a tough economy, and has represented the United States with dignity overseas.
Meanwhile, his Republican opponents all appear to have extreme visions of America and seem captive to the most radical fringes of the GOP and Tea Party. There is not a single Republican candidate that seems worthy of the Oval Office.
Barack Obama's solid and respectable performance -- and at times inspiring -- stands in great contrast to the pandering of GOP candidates to the Party's most unsavory elements. The President has an alluring vision of the future. Meanwhile, his Republican opponents have a disturbing scheme of tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, while gutting the middle class and finding scapegoats to distract angry citizens from the GOP's economic voodoo.
While Obama has not given me everything I had hoped for, he has easily cleared the bar for reelection. Without his swift action at the beginning of his term, I am convinced the George W. Bush recession would have spiraled into another Great Depression. On LGBT issues, the President effectively used his bully pulpit, signed a hate crime law, and scrapped the dreaded Don't Ask/Don't Tell policy.
It is my sincere hope that the President continues "evolving" on marriage equality -- to the point where becomes a fierce advocate. Surely, it does seem like his opinion is headed in the right direction -- while we can expect nothing but indifference or outright gay bashing by his Republican opponents.
Even at this early stage in the election cycle, the choice is clear.
Wayne, when you are living in the ruins of a destroyed economy, sitting down to candlelight while plunking your thoughts on a manual typewriter and wondering how you can score a manually operated printer, you can comfort yourself with the thought that Obama at least gave lip-service to Gay Rights! Wheeee!
