Wanda Sykes, a gay woman just a few feet from the Most Powerful Anti-Gay Marriage Man On The Planet -- and she lacked the sand to bring the issue up even once.

Her cowardice, however, extends to this interview:

MW: It’s no secret you love the current president.

SYKES: [Warmly.] Yes.

MW: There’s been a lot of criticism leveled at the Obama administration for not moving quickly enough on gay issues. What’s your take?

SYKES: I think the criticism is justified. However, he has a lot on his plate right now and can’t solve everything [at once]. He hasn’t been in office a year yet. I say just give him some time. Of course, we should be vocal and point out and say, “When is it our turn?” But let’s not be too critical and do anything that moves us backwards.

Earth to Wanda: It’s not that President Obama has a lot on his plate right now — it’s that he opposes same-sex marriage. His plate could be as empty as the U.S. Treasury and it wouldn’t be “your turn.”

You know what Clip On? If people watched the debates the only thing McCain and Obama agreed on was that marriage was between a man and a woman.

Not sure what the repeal of the "Dont ask, Don't tell" policy has to do with same sex marriage. Also, Obama is not "anti-Gay" as above statements regarding "same sex marriage" seem to imply.
