For many, Obama is the messiah, brilliant awe inspiring a leader to all of us. Yes, I’m one of those rose tinted people but Andrew Sullivan’s
impassioned blog piece on gay rights underlines how important it is to look at things objectively. There is a sense that when Obama came in everyone could take a back seat as there was a leader in place, but remebering that his most-likened to figure, Kennedy would not have been the great liberal without a congress and beneath that the fierce demand for equality and social reform that boiled over in the 60s. Obama will be no different.
