President Barack Obama criticized Republican presidential candidates Saturday for not defending a gay American soldier who was booed by the crowd at a Republican debate last week.
“You want to be commander in chief? You can start by standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States, even when it’s not politically convenient,” Obama said during remarks at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Council, the nation’s largest gay rights organization.
Referencing the boos at the Sept. 22 Republican debate, he said: “We don’t believe in standing silent when that happens.”
But, then again- this was only the President of the United States, and he's not even GAY!
