President Obama crashed "an LGBT fundraiser" today in Florida at a hotel where he is having his own fundraiser this evening.

Obama "dropped by an LGBT fundraiser to participate in a photo line," according to the pool reporter.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and "senior campaign officials" are meeting with about 50 LGBT supporters who paid $2,500-a-piece to hear about Obama's record on LGBT issues.

Obama's unwillingness to support gay marriage explicitly has irritated his LGBT supporters, while the White House says that Obama's position is still "evolving."

Lookin’ for a date.

[fatnotlazy]

He’s among his own people. Fffffttt!

[Jane Long]

So, where’s the pic from the photo line?

dropped by = trolling

Hey, that’s why they always meet somewhere that has a closet door on squeaky hinges.

So to speak.

Thanks Free ThinkerNY.

Obama probably met some old friends from the Chicago gay clubs where he used to hang out.

Looking for more bathhouse buddies.

I wonder how much this fiasco is costing us.

Obama's position is still "evolving.

Code for he'll be more "flexible" during his second term.

Obama should be informed that LGBT is an evolutionary dead end, literally.

[neodad]

Told them he’ll have more flexibility after the election...

[oldbrowser]

Code for he'll be more "flexible" during his second term.

Will he be coming out in his next term?

If it was a meeting of Christian evangelicals, he would have left the hotel faster than Speedy Gonzales, who, come to think of it, may have been a white Hispanic.

[PGR88]

Imagine Presidents Eisenhower, Reagan, or even Kennedy, “crashing” an LGBT fund-raiser.

shudder.

“Obama’s unwillingness to support gay marriage explicitly has irritated his LGBT supporters,”

Well that’s one differentiator from Romney.

"Still evolving" - oh; to be already, so enlightened; as Obama's peers. Did he send a message offering that 'after he is elected; he will have more flexibility' - per these decisions/alliances?

If Putin can manage a public patience; then surely LGBT can be at least 'as' willing to give patience; some practice. . .

LGBT

Isn't there supposed to be a "Q" in there somewhere? (Maybe I missed the memo.)

What I thought. Cruising...
