[...] Barack Obama Inaugurated as the 44th President. After all that hubbub in 2008, our next President was now official. Everyone waited with bated breath to see what would happen next. A year later… well… we’re still waiting. I’m not saying I’m 100% disappointed, but I would like to have seen a few more tangible results. The economy is improving, and that is probably the best thing to happen since last January… but we’re still at war, we still haven’t passed health care reform, and the rights of LGBT people are still being infringed upon. Let’s hope 2010 sees some more of that change. I’m still hopeful. [...]

I'm impressed by your rationalism, level-headedness, and most of all your patience. My biggest fear is not only that Obama's detractors will judge him before he's had a chance to act, but that his supporters will judge him when change does not come as quickly as may wish. You're right that the man has a lot on his plate. The GLBT community is going to need–simultaneously and paradoxically–the will to keep working for change and the patience to wait for it. You clearly have that ability.
