Barney Frank has been doing an excellent job of focusing the country on economic issues while strongly advocating for gay rights when appropriate.

Oriol My writing seems to come across condescending or as a mockery from time to time. I do consider myself a smart individual, but writing exactly what I mean has always been a weak point of mine. The comment I made about gay people in general,(bright,outside of the box thinking),was a generalization and I hate those myself (sorry), but it sincerely was meant as a compliment. My point in a nut shell, was that you rarely hear anything in the news, media or any other avenue from the Gay community regarding the state of the nation and the economy. Because of all the recent attention to the gay community in the media, I have been expecting to hear from some/any LGBT leader, the community's take on the current situation. The entire nation was ready for a change when B.Obama was elected, I agree, but it seems that a lot of sub/minority groups have put too much wieght on the "dramatic changes" Obama will bring. He is entering the White House with a; sloppy, nasty, epic size, mess to clean up. He will undoubtedly bring some change, but I fear he has been built up so high, that he will fall quite hard in the eyes of many, although I am coming around to the idea he may perform quite well in some areas. Oriol, nice response to my comment, I regret that you took any of it in a way that was negative. (Partial fault goes to the way it was written). As always, I support all people, less hate groups and extremists, we were all created the same. Thanks for answering my questions. Thanks for understanding that we are all entitled to an opinion. Take care. Bobby T.
