At a reception in the East Room this afternoon, President Obama acknowledged some dissatisfaction in the GLBT community over his administration's record so far.

"I know that many in this room don't believe that progress has come fast enough," he told about 300 guests, according to a pool report. "We have made progress, and we will make more."

Obama asked the audience to judge him by the promises his administration keeps, and said that by the time he leaves office, he thinks they will have "pretty good feelings about the Obama administration."

He also listed what he said were his accomplishments so far, including the recent order extending benefits to the same-sex partners of federal employees. He also listed urging Congress to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, though the administration has come under fire for the language in a DOMA brief filed by the Justice Department.
