Obama to be in LA next Wednesday - the day after the Prop 8 Decision |
|
Good idea? Think he will actually say something? If its not overturned I think he would be wise to reschedule his visit. LA has a very active protest community and he would not want to be put in the middle of that! http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/nov05election/detail?entry_id=40475

1. No. If it's not overturned, then he most definitely should be |
|
there and speak strongly about equality. I hope he doesn't have to. I hope the SCOCA overturns 8. I have no idea what they're going to do.

2. He hasn't said a word about Iowa, Maine, etc. |
|
I don't expect any words for this unless 8 is held up.

3. He made a joke about Iowa at the correspondent's dinner |
|
so that, I guess, was the respect he afforded us.

6. he should stay away if it isn't overturned. |
|
nothing he can say will make it any better -- and people have already been working on new props.
his luke warm response to the whole thing makes it worse in a way.
things will be hot -- but i strongly suspect not violent, no reasonable gay person expects them to overturn after the arguments -- but we will be a firestorm of political hotness.
