Grading The President

By The Daily Dish

DiA counters Savage:

Dan Savage, the filthily funny, and also politically feisty and gay, sex columnist for Seattle's Stranger newspaper, gives Mr Obama a grade of "F" on gay rights so far. That is wildly unfairis he really deserving of the worst grade you can give, and thus on par with George Bush? Of course not. But a C-minus, at least, so far, is what more balanced gay-rights activists might give him. In other words, in danger of failing. And with Lt Choi about to trade his uniform for civvies on a permanent basis, the president does not have forever to get his grade back up.
