How in the world can he have the gumption - the audacity - to speak so movingly about freedom and equality and then tell us it will come for us "one day." That he is "unwavering" in his commitment to us - but WE are the ones who need to fight for equality and justice, individual by individual. How can he talk about the values laid down in our founding documents, the values we all share as Americans, and NOT spelling out what he is doing, with a timeline, to make sure that we enjoy those rights, too. He knows there is discrimination against us, he feels our pain.

But not enough to say something that would help those fighting in Maine and Washington from having their right taken away - right now.
