Aligning herself with gay activists who are sick of Obama's words with
no action, gay rights advocate and proud Republican Meghan McCain took
to The Daily Beast to write "Obama's Gay Dodge," her analysis of the president's speech.
"The gay community should stop rewarding President Obama's pretty speeches -- like his address this weekend to the Human Rights Campaign -- and demand action on 'don't ask, don't tell,'" McCain writes in the article.
McCain continues: "I am a bottom line type of girl and I see no bottom line here. During the election, Obama pledged that the very first thing he would do as president would be to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Although I thought it was an ambitious promise, I believed him. It's now almost a year into his presidency and other than making speeches, nothing has happened."
