    I have a couple of things Obama did that he doesn't brag about enough:

    1. He got my partner's unemployment benefits extended. That put food on the table and paid for fuel to get to and from work.
    2. He got COBRA premiums reduced from almost $700/month to under $300/month. That was an Obama idea.
    3. He started the mortgage loan modification program. For 9 months I paid less than half my normal mortgage. That kept me in my house.Read more »

    Like you said, Barbra, your fight for equality for gay people is a fact in history and speaks for itself. As a gay man, I will never forget your impassioned speech about the AIDS crisis when you were honored by AMFAR in Los Angeles in 1992. I was so pissed at the media covering the event for focusing on a small part of your speech about Colorado (you NEVER advocated a boycott of Colorado as the news media stated). Rest assured, Barbra, that your gay fans continue to support you and thank you for your efforts (for decades, by the way!) to demand equal rights for the LGBT community.Read more »

    Perhaps, Barbra, you can be inspired in your performance for the film partly in memory of Arthur. Good luck and do your best for the movie.
