Some people are so pushy. Do they expect Obama to cure cancer?

Here's the transcript:
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell!”
THE PRESIDENT: We are going to do that. Hey, hold on a second, hold on a second. We are going to do that.
AUDIENCE: Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can!
THE PRESIDENT: Here we go. All right -- guys, guys, all right. I agree, I agree, I agree. (Applause.) Now --
AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: No, no, no, no, listen. What the young man was talking about was we need to -- we need to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don't Tell,” which I agree with and which we have begun to do. (Applause.) But let me say this: When you’ve got an ally like Barbara Boxer and you’ve got an ally like me who are standing for the same thing, then you don't know exactly why you’ve got to holler, because we already hear you, all right? (Applause.) I mean, it would have made more sense to holler that at the people who oppose it. (Applause.)
........
AUDIENCE MEMBER: It’s time for equality for all Americans!
THE PRESIDENT: I’m sorry, do you want to come up here? (Applause.) You know, the -- all right, because can I just say, once again, Barbara and I are supportive of repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” so I don't know why you’re hollering.
Now, the problems that we have here put a further strain on folks in this state, forcing painful choices about where to spend and where to save. And the challenges folks have been facing here --
AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)
AUDIENCE: Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can!
THE PRESIDENT: Barbara -- I just -- everybody, I just wanted to confirm -- I just wanted to confirm -- I just checked with Barbara, so if anybody else is thinking about starting a chant, Barbara didn’t even vote for “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in the first place, so you know she’s going to be in favor of repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” (Applause.)

i know that my elevated rhetoric is sometimes hard to follow, joe, but did you really conflate "they" with "he" there? really?

"...but did you really conflate..."
Real amurcans don't use high falutin words like 'conflate'.

There'll still be that DOMA thing, and Obama's long-standing opposition to Marriage Equality, and that won't be changing any time soon. At least until Our Fierce Advocate is safely out of office and can change his mind without having to, you know, actually do anything about repealing DOMA.
"I honestly think they would be happy if a Republican wins in 2010 and 2012."
For the record, once more: Nope. Nobody in their right mind wants a Republican to win in 2010 or 2012, or indeed, to ever win anything ever again.
"Obviously the Democrats in charge don't care about the GLBT community.Obama has clearly done nothing for us since taking office. (LOL)"
Nobody said Obama hasn't done anything. He just hasn't done enough.
We must, of course, be happy with baby steps. Baby steps. And only a few of those, because of course Our Fierce Advocate can't go around looking like he's actually gay-friendly in any significant way. Be happy with the barest of bare minimums! Don't criticize our Fierce Advocate! Would you rather have McCain or Palin? Obama's really really busy, he's got so much on his plate! We don't want to be missing the miracle!

Has he done more than Bush? Clinton? Why can't you just admit that no matter how much he does, it will NEVER satisfy you? How can he work with people like you who don't acknowledge the "baby steps" he does make? No matter what he does you want everything done RIGHT NOW!
The Fierce Advocate is doing more than any President has done so far. You seem to forget that. Until we have our first openly gay President and first dude,you will be complaining he is not moving fast enough or doing enough....but you will admit it's better than nothing,you just have to be nudged.
I would love to live in your world where all he has to do is wave his wand and fix all the problems we have. Whats weird is, I do agree with you to an extent. I just don't think you are being fair or realistic (we've been over this before,just a difference in opinion)
