The First Gay President, a Brave Hopeful Acceptance Speech





President Obama was on a TV monitor at the Stonewall Inn in New York City, a key historic site of the gay-rights movement.

The President’s speech tonight accepting the nomination of his Democratic party is one of the most moving, intelligent, detailing the future and what He and we will do. He was not afraid to use the term gays and lesbian by saying  “we are not going to blame the gays and lesbians” when we can’t reach what we ought to be reaching.
"Gay soldiers will not be dishonored or immigrant soldiers will not be kick out of this country when they come back home.” He gave us a vision of america being fair! Being strong, but at the same time money in new weapons that even the chiefs of staff ad the military don’t want, we will use those moneys to do Home building here at America. Having said that he also said America will stay the strongest nation in the world.

He quoted, Lincoln, Bill Clinton just two but the two most important ones;  But he also quoted Mitt Romney and Ryan except those quotes which were correctly given did not make those two fellows look or sound too good.
I was moved, when I was not move that much the last time. This time he did not speak as a good talker applying for a job he’s  never done but by the guy whose had the job, the president of the United States. Experienced Now and with a good outlook of what he is expected to do and will do. Not dreams like before, but realities.  Short and sweet 27 minutes that felt like 7. Charged up the party and the convention.


I ran for President because I saw that basic bargain slipping away. I began my career helping people in the shadow of a shuttered steel mill, at a time when too many good jobs were starting to move overseas. And by 2008, we had seen nearly a decade in which families struggled with costs that kept rising but paychecks that didn’t; racking up more and more debt just to make the mortgage or pay tuition; to put gas in the car or food on the table. And when the house of cards collapsed in the Great Recession, millions of innocent Americans lost their jobs, their homes, and their life savings – a tragedy from which we are still fighting to recover.
Now, our friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right. They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan. And that’s because all they have to offer is the same prescription they’ve had for the last thirty years:
“Have a surplus? Try a tax cut.”
“Deficit too high? Try another.”
“Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning!”

 The President touched on his recent announcement of support for same-sex marriage, saying at a New York City fundraising event Monday that he believes marriage equality "strengthens families."

"I want everyone treated fairly in this country. We have never gone wrong when we've extended rights and responsibilities to everybody," he said, drawing big applause. "That doesn't weaken families, that strengthens families."
Obama highlighted some of his administration's work in recent years, including the passage of health care reform and the end of combat in Iraq.
He also outlined goals he hopes to accomplish under a second term, including the repeal of the Defense Of Marriage Act, which the administration has already stopped defending.
While he did not mention Republican rival Mitt Romney by name, he drew a sharp line of contrast between his own ideology and that of Republicans, promoting a theme of "togetherness."
"It's been said this election is going to be about values. I absolutely agree. It's about the economic values we have, about the values I believe will make America so special: Everybody gets a fair shot, everybody gets a fair share, everybody plays by the same set of rules," he said.
