Oh, my. Butt-hurt at the gay bar. And, Obama bashed by Maureen Dowd for not being gay (friendly) enough.

A gay bar in New York City, where there was a celebration underway of that confuzzled state's option to exercise it's 10th Amendment right to make laws inside it's own boundaries and pass the gay 'marriage' bill, was raided by the NYPD. American Power Blog has the full story.

Oh, and this, just for...kicks. In the pants.

The teh ghey fortunate cookie spotted first here.

Maureen Dowd wonders if BHO is...well, just see for yourself... (emboldenings mine)

Why Is He Bi? (Sigh)

HE was born this way.

Bi.

Not bisexual. Not even bipartisan. Just binary.

Our president likes to be on both sides at once.

In Afghanistan, he wants to go but he wants to stay. He’s surging and withdrawing simultaneously. He’s leaving fewer troops than are needed for a counterinsurgency strategy and more troops than are needed for a counterterrorism strategy — and he seems to want both strategies at the same time. Our work is done but we have to still be there. Our work isn’t done but we can go.

On Libya, President Obama wants to lead from behind. He’s engaging in hostilities against Qaddafi while telling Congress he’s not engaging in hostilities against Qaddafi.

On the budget, he wants to cut spending and increase spending. On the environment, he wants to increase energy production but is reluctant to drill. On health care, he wants to get everybody covered but will not press for a universal system. On Wall Street, he assails fat cats, but at cocktail parties, he wants to collect some of their fat for his campaign.

And it only gets better. Mo Do also says of Barack Hussein Obama...

"He does not seem deeply affiliated with any side except his own." ...

"The man who was able to beat the Clintons in 2008 because the country wanted a break from Clintonian euphemism and casuistry is now breaking creative new ground in euphemism and casuistry." ...

"Maybe, given all his economic and war woes as he heads into 2012, Obama fears the disapproval of the homophobic elements within his own party. But he has tried to explain his reluctance on gay marriage as an expression of his Christianity, even though he rarely goes to church and is the picture of a secular humanist."

That one's easy. He's a pretender and a liar, nothing more. He plays for the camera, for the audience; he'll be whatever you want him to be. Why else did he run on HOPE and CHANGE with very little of substance? And that he did promise, he's backed away from?

More Mo Do...

Still, Obama’s reluctance to come out for gay marriage seems hugely and willfully inconsistent with what we know about his progressive worldview. And it is odd that the first black president is letting Andrew Cuomo, who pushed through a gay-marriage bill in Albany on Friday night, go down in history as the leader on the front lines of the civil rights issue of our time.

But for the president, “the fierce urgency of now” applies only to getting checks from the gay community, not getting up to speed with all the Americans who think it’s time for gay marriage.

As with “Don’t ask, don’t tell,” Obama is not leading the public, he’s following. And worse, the young, hip black president who was swept in on a gust of change, audacity and hope is lagging behind a couple of old, white conservatives — Dick Cheney and Ted Olson.

You notice Maureen doesn't really get seriously angry, right? She's toying with her words, keeping her right hook in a glove, barely scratching the teflon-faced IWON!. C'mon, Maureen, get in a clean hit!

As a community organizer, Obama developed impressive empathetic gifts. But now he is misusing them. It’s not enough to understand how everybody in the room thinks. You have to decide which ones in the room are right, and stand with them. A leader is not a mediator or an umpire or a convener or a facilitator.

Sometimes, as Chris Christie put it, “the president has got to show up.”

With each equivocation, the man in the Oval Office shields his identity and cloaks who the real Barack Obama is.

He should draw inspiration from the gay community: one thing gays have to do, after all, is declare who they are at all costs.

On some of the most important issues facing this nation, it is time for the president to come out of the closet.

There you go Mo! Telling Barack Obama to 'show up', and ' come out of the closet'.

Don't you mean 'grow up', Maureen?

Or, since you've framed it this way (that BHO is a simple-minded poseur who only wants to win elections) maybe you should change your decoder ring.  Here...

Look at Barack Obama through the prism of Cloward-Piven. Things might just start to make Mo better sense, eh?
