Michelle Obama connects the dots...from Selma to Stonewall

"Some out there are pretty suspicious about Barack Obama on LGBT issues (mulling whether we are going to be tossed under the bus), automatically zeroing in on the above bolded statement (and others like it by Obama himself) to the exclusion of all the rest of the policy positions that are in our favor. These are positions that the candidate has held from day one.
He's not going to be the perfect candidate, but neither were any of the other Dems who had a chance of winning in the primary. This observation doesn't mean "don't criticize," all I'm saying is it stretches credibility to say Barack Obama and John McCain are equally against LGBT civil equality."
