The mention of stonewall floored me.

My mind went through a few calculations.

1) Maybe he was hoping it would be some sort of dog whistle that Republican/Tea Party members will not understand...

2) It is way too blatant for people to not get it, or well for Fox News to not start running with it. This is the same press that tried to hang Obama by connecting him to Bill Ayers. "President Obama calls for gays to riot"

3) Damn. Is Obama actually going to do something now? Has he come back to being vaguely liberal instead of vaguely moderate?

4) Oh wait, Congress. JK LOL.

One other addition.

Beyond the political aspects of it. Man that is some good speech writing, connecting those three made a bit of poetry.
