Always wonder why the LGBT community gives Kerry a hard time despite DOMA and his LGBT record as Senator.

ID that so many think that not doing/speaking on an issue publicly means silence; that behind the scenes is just ME. Unfortunate, but true.

Also, wonder if the Snow den drama has also complicated the US/Russia Olympic relationship and may force Obama/Kerry's hand.

P.S. just saw your comment. Great post, as always.

apologies for being the editing queen, decided to edit out negative "attacks" and "Dem bashing" comment.
