In a nationally televised campaign speech, over one hour in length ...

No mention of ENDA.
No mention of diversity.
No mention of transgender discrimination.

Just two little sops:

"When you put on that uniform, it doesn't matter if you're black or white; Asian or Latino; conservative or liberal; rich or poor; gay or straight."

"We will stand for the rights and dignity of all human beings - men and women; Christians, Muslims, and Jews.

Window dressing.

Don't expect to see anything substantive coming from the present Administration with regard to GLBT issues.  It's all just lip service.

The state of the union?  It sucks.

There, I just saved your having to watch a one hour speech.

I fixed that last bit for you.

You're more cynical than I am!
