That man truly is brilliant.

Hopefully he'll make advances and improve gay rights further, and tells the people who want to keep America from advancing by being against gay rights to go to hell.

This, once again, proves that Obama is the best current world leader.

 

[Kaeb]

Why can't he be our president, lend him to us for awhile?

 

[Eternal]

Yet again , it's so interesting to watch exactly how much has America achieved in just over half a decade.

I agree , Obama does what no other world leader has , so far.

But now our gays might start dying. :CCry1:

Not even remotely funny.

On another note, kudos to Obama!

Not even remotely funny.

I'm sorry but you're mistaken, that was very amusing.

Yeah, I agree.

Made me chuckle.

It's not been repealed yet, he just said he would. Honestly, I think you jumped the gun on posting this.

 

[Random Hero]

I believe it when I see it.

Per Sheo. He didn't end it, he said he was going to end it. He's said that before. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is as over as Guantanamo Bay is closed.

Aka, it's still there, despite his fancy speeches.

 

[Neutrino]

I hope he is a man of his word. Especially since I voted for him. XD

And obviously it will be a more involved process than just repealing one policy.

 

[Storm]

Thing is, it's still odd that in America you're still discussing and changing stuff that we in Europe have had for years and just take for granted.

To be fair, the only reason why Guantanamo Bay isn't closed is because of logistics. He did signed the executive order.

And..

Gays in the military?

Ew.

He can sign an executive order to build an ice cream shop on Pluto (which would be pretty awesome), but it doesn't mean much without a plan. I know that Obama signed the order so people would know he was on the case, but IMO he needed a plan first. It's been almost a year and he still has no plan whatsoever.

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

I think he HAD a plan, people are just too opposed to us keeping them here.

Not even remotely funny.

I had a good chuckle.

Since Boli is the supreme authority on these matters, the video has been deemed not homophobic and thus funny.

I agree. Obama needs to get to work on this.

He does that and he will actually deserve his peace prize.
