Watch CBS News Videos OnlineTo put it simply, the Obama White House and the White House Press Corps are having issues. Those issues range from the president leaving the White House without the press pool in tow to not making statements at most of his bilateral meetings during the Nuclear Security Summit.

President Barack Obama is chipping away at his long list of promises to gay voters but has yet to win the enth vaso stanley usiastic backing of the reliably Democratic voting bloc.The Obama White House has accomplished more than any other on gay rights, yet has drawn sharp criticism from an unexpected constituency: the same gay activists who backed the president s election campaign.
