Countering criticism that he's done little on gay rights, President Barack Obama commemorated the 40th anniversary of the birth of the modern movement by welcoming its leaders to the White House and reaffirming his commitment to their top priorities.

What about the arabic translateor guy fired at the army for being gay? Obama remained silent on this case. I'm a huge fan of Obama, but I want to hear and see what he is actually doing. Relocation expenses are not the same thing as full health coverage and retirement's partner rights.

I agree with Cristele. And need to add; what a waste of so many years of training, with something that hasn't impacted his cohorts, peers and grateful americans everywhere.
It's time for President Obama to put up or shut up!!

Big deal, a phot op and some sound bites that may be soothing to the ear but are meant to the LGBT money flowing and mean nothing! As President and Commander in Chief Obama has, since January 20, 2009, had both the power and the moral authority to end or permanetly suspend the DOD's investigations and enforcement of 'Don't ask, Don't tell' with quite literally the stroke of a pen AND HE HAS DONE NOTHING. As President neither he nor the DOJ is legally required to file a brief in support of any particular law or case before the United States Supreme Court; yet Obama and his DOJ chose to file a brief in defence of DOMA; not only directly opposite of everything he has said about repealing DOMA but using the Christian Taliban of America lies(based one should note on heterosexual sex crimes) and espoused by the lying hypocrite adulterers of the Republican party( and it is pleasing to note that if one particular State Governor had committed his adultery in his state he could be prosecuted jailed and/or fined)that was to say the least inflamitory and emboldened such groups as the Fort Worth, TX police department on the anniversary of Stonwall while Obama was giving his good intentions and no actions hucksters pitch. And do not hold your breath waiting for any DOJ investigation of the Fort Worth stasi action or any real actions from President Obama on LGBT rights that require spine or the courage of his convictions or opposing his 'friend' Rick Warren and the rest of the Christian Taliban of America. I have been ask why I use the term - Christian Taliban of America- first calling them the 'the Christian right' automaticly makes them sound 'correct' as in the right answer and that they most certainly are not, secondly that is just what they act like/are, their agenda is to make a Christian Sharia the basis of American law, estblish an American Theocracy, you can argue a legal case regarding the 'laws of man' but there is no recourse when you are accused of sin.

AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has Released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College. Released today, the transcript indicates that under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizen ship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking. Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue. Britain's Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, "Obama Eligibility Questioned," leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's first official visit to the U.K.

Obama needs to be removed from office, Their should be no special rights given to gays as homosexual behavior is a sin.

Great Nancy C. for polluting comments with something that has nothing to do with above article. Only the 2 last lines are an enlightening comment of yours that is not entirely off topic (I mean it has the words"gays" and "homosexual" in it)
