Don’t Like Obama or Equality? Just Rewriting the Bible!

Sometimes I really wish this stuff was made up…but it looks like the religious right is so distraught over the election of a Black, Democratic president, they’ve decided the Bible needs to be revised in order to object to things like equality and providing health care for those in need.

Oh yeah, about that gay rights promise... never mind

I really don't like being right about these things. Joe and I, and everyone else in the Netroots, went all out to elect a Democratic president and a Democratic Congress.

Can you feel the ENDAmentum?

The AP's optimistic about ENDA. Considering the fact that 90% of Americans support job protections for LGB people and 65% of Americans support such protections for trans people, we shouldn't have to be waiting for the stars to align when we already have a Democratic Congress and a Democratic president who says he supports the bill.

Did Bush administration allow interrogation by China at Gitmo?

Wow. No wonder Bush went to Beijing for the Olympics. Sounds like he was in their back pocket if this story turns out to be true.

AP: Democrats may go it alone on gov't insurance plan

Good, if true. And an important point hidden in the first few paragraphs of this story: Democrats generally are standing behind their position that a health care system overhaul must include a government-sponsored plan that would be available to middle-class workers and their families.

Key Senate Dems sell out on health care reform

Joe and I called it. They're caving folks. Total freaking mess. Interesting that the lead bad guy is Democratic Senator Max Baucus, whose former chief of staff is now the deputy chief of staff for who? President Barack Obama.

DNC gay fundraiser starting to fall apart over rupture between Obama and gay community

Note to our friends in the media. This is a story deserving a little national attention. It seems the Obama folks have gotten to the mainstream media - you'll note that practically none of the corporate media are covering the growing rupture between Obama and the gay community other than on their blogs, even after HRC sent probably the first chastising letter to a Democratic president since 1996 (and reporters always have told me in the past, it's not a story until HRC weighs in - well now they have, twice).

Some Gay Activists Are Not Lickspittles

These activists are “STARTING TO NOTICE that Obama is not about to do anything for them.“ So it seems that not all gay and lesbian activists are bowing and scraping to this Democratic President, some are speaking out about his inaction on issues near and dear to their hearts.
