    • Why don't they just move the teleprompter in front of him. Watching him look side to side at the two different teleprompters is getting highly freaking annoying!

    • President Flash = Blah Blah Blah

      I hope one day soon, O steps up and stops me from blasting his fancy lip service. I truly do, but if he points his oddly small finger in exclamation one more time without any real results, I'm going to... Naw, I won't. Just like him.

    • It's great to have a president that seems so passionate about this issue. Now he has to act on it. He has my attention. Let's see what he does now...

    • Funny, the LSM poopoos the Fox viewership as "niche". Yet they are hemorgaing viewers and money.
      Meanwhile all these legacy stations stampede like lemmings to the white house to get protection from a "niche" news outlet.
      Indeed laugh out loud funny.
      The truth is, the legacy media is dead and nobody wants to be around the stench of these rotting corpses. When they were viable they were suspected to be biased. When people got a choice, the bias was confirmed. The only reason these leftie outlets do not like capitalism is because they cannot compete in a free market of ideas..

    • I can't wait for him to realize that war is unacceptable and the worst instances of Human Rights Violations 100% of the time. I have yet to see the full potential of a truely Humanitarian Present [while in office].

    • This was a good move for the President. Where his two predecessors have made for incongruous equal rights, Barack Obama has put his money where his mouth is. It won't take away his votes in 2012.

    • Listening to the President speak passionately is so moving that I have to be carefull not to get sucked into the emotional side of things. This is an amazing step towards equality. "Don't ask, don't tell" has stripped people of their personalities for too long.

    • I am glad he has finally spoken about it, and spoken about it loudly.

      I am hoping before his term is over we will have persuaded Congress, the President, and the people of the country to not discriminate. Its a big thing but it can be done as anything can be done.
