Just like I do with all email from my “friends”, I will answer within the body of your note:
OLady –
Moments ago, the Senate voted to end “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
When that bill reaches my desk, I will sign it, (I never doubted it.) and this discriminatory law will be repealed.
Gay and lesbian service members — brave Americans who enable our freedoms — will no longer have to hide who they are. (BlahBlahBlah, Barry.)
The fight for civil rights, a struggle that continues, will no longer include this one. (More…BlahBlahBlah.)
This victory belongs to you. Without your commitment, the promise I made as a candidate would have remained just that. (Which is too bad everything you said didn’t stay a fake promise…like the transparency, the stopping earmarks and the no tax increases.)
Instead, you helped prove again that no one should underestimate this movement. (No, Barry…you better not underestimate us. We are Americans, and we WILL take our country back.) Every phone call to a senator on the fence, every letter to the editor in a local paper, and every message in a congressional inbox makes it clear to those who would stand in the way of justice: We will not quit. (Oh, did YOU get that memo, Barry? Cuz, NO. We won’t.)
This victory also belongs to Senator Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and our many allies in Congress who refused to let politics get in the way of what was right. (I think you have that backwards, Barry. They, and YOU, do NOTHING BUT get in the way of what is right. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.)
Like you, they never gave up, and I want them to know how grateful we are for that commitment. (I’d be happier, Barry, if they just went home and stayed there.)
Will you join me in thanking them by adding your name to Organizing for America’s letter? (Um, no…and truthfully, Barry, I don’t know how you got my email address. If it wasn’t so damn entertaining, I’d block you as a spammer.)
I will make sure these messages are delivered (Cuz, basically, you really do nothing much else, besides travel and golf. Good for you.) — you can also add a comment about what the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” means to you.
As Commander in Chief, (Yeah, I don’t really think you qualify to call yourself that, but whatever.) I fought to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” because it weakens our national security and military readiness (Bull, Barry.). It violates the fundamental American principles of equality and fairness.
But this victory is also personal. (BlahBlahBlah, Barry.)
I will never know what it feels like to be discriminated against because of my sexual orientation. (BlahBlahBlah.)
But I know my story would not be possible without the sacrifice and struggle of those who came before me — many I will never meet, and can never thank. (BlahBlahBlah, again.)
I know this repeal is a crucial step for civil rights, and that it strengthens our military and national security. I know it is the right thing to do. (You wouldn’t know the right thing to do if it ran up and bitchslapped you, Barry.)
But the rightness of our cause does not guarantee success, and today, celebration of this historic step forward is tempered by the defeat of another — the DREAM Act. I am incredibly disappointed that a minority of senators refused to move forward on this important, commonsense (Let’s be real here, Barry. YOU and your cronies do not even begin to have or understand what common sense even means.) reform that most Americans understand is the right thing for our country. (The right thing for this country is to seal our borders, you dimwit. Don’t you see that Mexican illegals are not the only ones coming across our borders? And no, being SOUTH American or being IN America does NOT make you an American. They are not American in every way but one. They are criminals. They need to go back and fix their own country. Then apply and wait their turn if they still want to come here.) On this issue, our work must continue. (And we will continue to try to fix what you break, asshole.)
Today, I’m proud that we took these fights on. (Yeah, well, we are all better off when you just go golfing.)
Please join me in thanking those in Congress who helped make “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal possible: (I don’t think so.)

Thank you, (Pfffffffffffffft.)
Barack (Whatever, Barry. Always putting on airs, huh? Two more years, Barry. Don’t get too comfy.)
