Barack Obama tells African states to abandon anti-gay discrimination

This won't end well AT ALL!

GObama!

He's such the typical American. I know what's best for you, but won't do dick to sort out my own mess.

Yeah, same-sex marriage, no more don't ask, don't tell, that Obama doesn't do dick. Do we have a gay Freeper in these parts?

As a non-American, Obama's been the first president for years who's reflected well on the U.S. and its electorate.

On behalf of the rest of the western world, please don't vote in a dud as his replacement. Most of us recognise him as an excellent statesman who's achieved some significant advances against the odds of congress and the mega-lobbies through his tenure. Standing up for LGB rights amongst them.

Honey, r4, the courts did that. Obama did not. Where was his pen and phone?

Christ, not again. Hawaii has produced his birth certificate and everything for fuck's sake!

R7, you are stupid. Read that post again.

R7, Hawaii produced a recently-created birth certificate, not an original.

While visiting Kenya, will Obama at least slip a few bucks to his half-brother who lives in a cardboard box?

Obama's birth certificate was issued in CT, and it originally belonged to someone else.

Obama originally produced the version of the birth certificate everyone else gets in Hawaii. No one gets the original.

That wasn't good enough for the Cons so the Hawaii legislature had to actually change the law to allow Obama to produce the original.

He's a mistake.

R6, honey, none of that would have happened in the legislature and in the courts had Obama not thrown the full force of the executive branch behind it.

By your reasoning, Why does Obama get blamed for the debt growing? The legislature holds the purse and makes decisions about ALl the money spent, right?

Once again, Obama shows why he has done more for gay rights than ALL the past presidents COMBINED.

Yea...he bold.

She went back to her motherland!

The USA should have all of its presidents Kenyan Muslims from now on, R5.

R15, I kind of love Obama. I'd love to hear what he has to say in private about the Israelis and the Gun Lobby.

It takes courage for ANYONE to go to Africa and make a stand for gay rights.

In 18 months America will be calling this The Golden Age of Obama.

When did he do that, r14. I missed that executive order. You did too cause it didn't happen. Jose, paco, ,and Pedro got an exec order, but we didn't.

I'm so proud of this President. Especially on the subject of equal rights for gay people. He has significantly helped to change history.

R22 - Obama signed an executive order expanding workplace protections to LGBT federal employees and employees at firms with federal contracts. He also signed an order extending benefits to same-sex marriages. And since 2011 the Obama administration has not been defending DOMA.

I love this man.

This is awesome. I really didn't expect this.

I'm calling it the golden age of Obama already, R21.

Obama is pretty much as good as one could hope for in a president at this time. Sure, many of his policies are horribly right wing, not to mention bombing the shit out of foreign countries. Unfortunately those are the constraints. Within what he could do he's moved about as left as it's possible to get.

His best moment so far IMO was standing up to Netanyahu, the Israel Lobby and most of Congress to get the peace deal with Iran.

Amazing. He gains nothing politically by this. He did it because gay people deserve a voice, especially in places where they are most mistreated, even if that ruffles some diplomatic feathers . This is what leadership is.

Thank you President Obama.

This President is a real leader. Can you imagine any of the clawing rats of the GOP doing something like this?

First you need to expose evangelicals and their exportation of homophobia to Africa.

He didn't even bring me a fucking Hershey Bar.

A black man visits Africa , to find his roots.

How unusual........

Wasn't there something along the lines of 'Kenyans Will Throw Eggs At US President If He Promotes Homosexuality While In Africa ?'

The price of eggs in Kenya must be far lower than current U.S. egg prices. 🐣

Islam's homophobia has been in Africa far longer.

FYI: He does not. I repeat does not. Have a vagina.

I respect him more now. Africa is a shithole of war and ignorance!

I'm surprised he would bother. Good for him.

Barack Obama is a great president for acknowledging gay people as much as he has.

Obama just can't mind his own business can he? He's always butting into other countries because he thinks he knows better.

States?

How's that one worked out for you Michelle ?

He's so arrogant. He's not President of Africa.

He's not President of ANYTHING any longer, R43.

Hi, 2015 Bump on Humanity's Ass Troll!
