Dan Choi on Freedom

Dan Choi: Don't Tell, Martha! by The Moth  
(download)

I think Barack Obama would be a fine benevolent dictator. But, in
America, President is not much more than a figurehead. This has been
true since Reagan, I think, but perhaps before that. A president will
talk about his ideas that will have little effect on the running of
the country. Someone else, or some others groups of people will run
the country.

But maybe Kanye West will out himself, and, in a quiet moment, when
everyone least expects it, will say, "President Obama doesn't like gay
people."

LOL

The audio is from themoth.org podcast. The podcast is free on iTunes.
In the past, only a few of the individual podcasts were available on
their website. Now, they are all available, but you have to download a
special player. So last century. I liberate.
