But other than that, he's for gay rights

Yes, yes, all those nasty, evil, tricksy republicans have been denying alternate lifestylers and the LGBT community equal rights. Dems have been fighting the good fight to right these wrongs.

After all, President Clinton gave us Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Wait....what? But oh yeah, Clinton also gave us the Defense of Marriage Act. Crap...moving on.

Candidate Obama, Senator Obama, and President Obama oppose gay marriage. Suck it repugs... Damn..really? Opposes? Always has? Well at least he's repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell in a timely fashion, what with the rock solid majority in the House and Senate. Not yet? Ouch.

OK, but, but...here we go. It was all over the news and net last week. The president just made a new policy guaranteeing visitation rights for life partners in hospitals. Ha, see! Hope! Change! Yes We Can! Lets scroll through this and quote it properly.

That's odd...it's not an executive order...it's a memorandum. Well, lets get to the juicy bit.

C'mon, if you thought there would be something substantive, you haven't been paying attention.
