Obama hypocritically hearts gays at NAACP

Given the inaction on various gay rights issues so far, by his administration and by himself personally, I think it was a bit hypocritical for President Obama to tell the NAACP:
“Make no mistake, no mistake: the pain of discrimination is still felt in America,” (including) by “our gay brothers and sisters, still taunted, still attacked, still denied their rights.”

Lemme see, this would be the Obama who:
1. Has not lifted a finger to end “don’t ask, don’t tell”;
2. Has said not a word of condemnation of his Department of Justice’s brief defending the indefensible defense of marriage act, the one that equated gay relationships to incest, even;
3. Has yet to make a comment on the Rainbow Lounge incident of apparent gay harassment and attacks by police in Fort Worth.

Yep, that’s a pretty high level of hypocrisy.
