President Barack Obama vowed to end military discrimination towards gays, especially the infamous “don’t ask-don’t tell” policy. Obama admitted, though, that these policy changes, especially the gay military ban, he had promised since the campaign trail have not come as soon as planned.
At the Human Rights Campaign annual dinner, Obama vowed:
“I will end ‘don’t ask-don’t tell.’”
The US President also commended the patriotism of homosexuals in the military and condoned the military gay ban by adding:
“We should not be punishing patriotic Americans who have stepped forward to serve the country. We should be celebrating their willingness to step forward and show such courage… especially when we are fighting two wars.
He did not, however, declare a timetable or any more specific details regarding the military gay ban. Obama instead reassured the crowd at the Human Rights Campaign dinner that progress regarding the military gay ban issue will come:
“I appreciate that many of you don’t believe progress has come fast enough. Do not doubt the direction we are heading and the destination we will reach.”
Apart from the discrimination that homosexuals face in the military, President Obama also called on Congress to repeal the Defense Of Marriage Act. The act details and limits how state, local, and federal bodies can recognize partnerships and thus determine benefits. He pushed for a law to extend benefits to domestic partners which will definitely advantageous for gay partnerships and marriages.
Overall, Obama expressed strong and reassuring support for the Human Rights Campaign agenda. It seems that the president is unwavering in his resolve at ending discrimination against gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people. Whether it be regarding the military gay ban or any other form of sexual discrimination, Obama stated:
“My expectation is that when you look back on these years you will look back and see a time when we put a stop against discrimination … whether in the office or the battlefield.”

United States President Barack Obama was declared the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner for his efforts aimed at reducing nuclear arms, promoting diplomacy in place of war, and appeasing the Islamic community. Despite the Nobel Peace Prize win, Nobel observers were shocked by the Obama win because they deem it still too early in his presidency.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee recognized the efforts of Obama at promoting peace but at the same time admitted that some of his plans, such as reducing nuclear arms, bringing the Islam community at peace with the US, and spearheading climate change.
The chairman of the Nobel Committee, Thorbjoern Jagland, stated about the Obama Nobel Peace Prize win:
“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future.”
But because the U.S. is still at war in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, and the US still has not taken up a bigger role in promoting climate change, people like former Polish President Lech Walesa, a 1983 Nobel Peace laureate, criticized the Obama Nobel Peace Prize win, saying:
“So soon? Too early. He has no contribution so far. He is still at an early stage. He is only beginning to act.”
He did, however, gave room for Obama to operate and prove his worth as a Nobel Peace Prize winner:
“This is probably an encouragement for him to act. Let’s see if he perseveres. Let’s give him time to act.”
Many had expected others to be this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, like Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, a Chinese dissident, and an Afghan woman’s rights activist. A record 205 people were nominated and vied to be a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg lauded the decision for Obama as the Nobel Peace Prize winner, stating:
“The exciting and important thing about this prize is that it’s given to someone … who has the power to contribute to peace,”
Barack Obama is only the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize, after President Theodore Roosevelt won it in 1906 and President Woodrow Wilson in 1919.

Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in a new audiotape proclaimed President Barack Obama powerless to stop the war in Afghanistan and even threatened to strengthen guerrilla warfare there. The bin Laden audiotape was released to mark the anniversary of the infamous Septemer 11 attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in the United States.
The tape was posted on Islamic militant Web sites a couple of days after the eight-year anniversary of the 2001 9/11 suicide plane hijackings. Osama said in the 11-minute tape that Obama is merely following the same policies of George W. Bush. Osama also urged Americans to “liberate” themselves from the influence of “neo-conservatives and the Israeli lobby.”
Osama Bin Laden also followed by saying that al-Qaida attacked the United States in retaliation for the country’s support for Israel. Bin Laden stated:
“If you end the war, so let it be. But if it is otherwise, all we will do is continue the war of attrition against you on all possible axes.”
Osama also continued by saying:
“You are waging a hopeless and losing war for the benefit of others, a war the end of which is not visible on the horizon.”

Watch President Obama deliver his heatlh care reform speech below. Obama’s health care speech was pivotal, given the many controversies surrounding the issue.
Many even say that Obama was editing his speech until the very last moments, especially during the hour when polls showed that people disapprove his handling of the issue.
Though the president received several standing ovations, N.C. Republican Rep. Joe Wilson clearly opposed him, yelling:
“You lie!”
This happened after Obama said health care reform would not cover illegal immigrants. Sen John McCain, on the other hand, smiled the president praised him for championing a version of health care reform while they were campaigning for the presidency months back.
Obama also talked about the cost implications of the health care reform. He stated:
“Here’s what you need to know. First, I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits – either now or in the future. Period. And to prove that I’m serious, there will be a provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending cuts if the savings we promised don’t materialize.”
