I like President Obama and want him to stick around for another 4 years and plan on voting for him (even though because I live in NY state my votes don't count due to the way U.S. Government works). I like his personality, I think that he has done his best managing the fiscal crises, Bush gave him a shattered economy. It's always better for the LBGT community to have a Democrat as President.
However I am dissappointed in his failed campaign promises. He promised to deliver Heath care for all (we get a watered down bill that regulates the insurance companies), he promised immigration reform and the dream act, he never signed for the freedom of choice act, ensuring all women have access too abortion and stopping pro-life pregnancy centers , he said he wouldn't interfere with states that legalized marijuana,etc.
All these lies don't give me great hope. He's too nice. He tried too hard to cooperate with Republicans.
And the marriage support is politically timed, he's coming to New York City tommarrow to host an LGBT fundraiser with Ricky Martin at $3,000 a person. We can always count on traffic when the President's in town.
