obama stands up for the gay soldiers week 3

As the presidential elections approach, President Obama has to think of ways to convince the people of the United States to re-instate him for another term as president. One of the ways that Obama has decided to go about this, is to remind the people of his big political change in the gay community. One of the presidents goals for this upcoming election is to encourage the entire gay community to be on his side during the voting process by reminding these people of the great positive impact he made on their lives by passing the bill for gay and lesbian marriages. This article even goes as far as too become reminiscent of a time when a gay soldier from Iraq was booed off of stage by politician; however, Obama uses this incident of childishness to his defense in supporting the gay soldiers and not judging people that are willing to fight for their country. The gay community in New York should be thankful to Obama in his attempt to support and recognize the gay community in a way that other politicians and people have not done in the past and even still in the present. In a way, president Obama is technically saying that the way that the gay community should pay him back for passing the gay marriage law is by voting for him in the next election to give him another term in presidency. Obama is also finding ways to push the gay community away from supporting any other politicians by recognizing the incident in which a gay soldier was booed off of the stage; therefore, pushing people to see Obama in a good light by not being judgmental of these gay soldiers. Soldiers are people that are brave enough to fight and are willing to sacrifice their lives for the stake of our country. Someone who is putting their life at risk in the name of their country should not be penalized in society because of sexual orientation, someone who is putting their live on the risk for our country should be respected for who they are, gay or straight. Obama is obviously aware of this argument and uses it to his advantage as a way to lean over to his side in the election process. The president was smart to come up with a political stand such as this to encourage a larger amount of votes on his side for the upcoming election. Obama is well aware that his chances at becoming president for a second term in presidency might not be looking up to par which is why he is deciding to use a topic like this as a way to earn more votes. People in the gay community and people that support the gay community will most likely feed into this argument and be willing to be on the side of president Obama throughout the election for this term. As it looks as though Obama is winning the hearts over of the gay community for the up coming election, now what he has to look to are ways to win over the other percentage of the population in which do not support Obamas’ support in the gay community.
