SURPRISE! Hey, we just thought we'd drop in......



From the timing is everything file:

President Obama is jetting west today to appear at a fund raiser tonight at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Not sure who we are raising funds for - I could use a few - BUT, there are going to be a few Party Crashers out front as Mr. Obama makes his spiel.



From the very popular a very cute Andy Towle :

" President Obama, the alleged "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights, is scheduled to attend a Democratic Party fundraiser at the Beverly Hilton tonight, one day after White House spokesman Robert Gibbs refused to offer any official response to the Supreme Court's decision to uphold Proposition 8 in California.

A Courage Campaign-organized demonstration is scheduled to take place in front of the Beverly Hilton this evening. The group writes: "Let's take this opportunity, just one day after the CA Supreme Court makes its decision on Proposition 8, to show our President our support for his daring promise to our community and to highlight the growing movement towards FULL FEDERAL EQUALITY."

Attending the demonstration will be recently discharged (under 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell') Lt. Dan Choi and other LGBT military servicemembers: "They will ask for response from President Obama to the letter signed by 136,000 people asking the president not to fire Lt. Choi by ending DADT."


How long can President Obama remain mute on his promises to the LGBT voters who elected him? "

I guess you could say that if the President is getting grief from the right and left that he is doing a good job. This will be the first time he has faced this sort of large protest from the left. Will be interesting to see how or if  the Pride of Auburn press secretary Robert Gibbs addresses the protest.
