This is another step in the right direction for LGBT equality. People like Attorney General Eric Holder who go against the grain are the type of people this country needs. We are evolving as a society and if we are going to survive we need people like him who are willing to change and grow to meet the needs and desires of WE THE PEOPLE.

Another straw for Obots to grasp as they desperately look for a reason, any reason, to do what they wanted to to all along, which is vote for a bigot named Obama.

The announcement is minor, but good. It’s also very much too little and too late. I think no self respecting person should be part of the US military murder machine.

What’s not good are mindless, submissive Obots who support Obama’s disgusting stand on marriage equality, his union busting, the torture of Brad Manning, putting Medicare and Social Security ‘on the table’ for the Republicans to shred, the NDAA and his war in Afghanistan.

Only idiots forget that Obama’s broken nearly every major promose he made.

The the larger truth is that more gay military partner benefits could be had TODAY—rather than having to wait for cases to plod through the courts, hoping for a good outcome—if the President/Commander-in-Chief would stop ignoring requests that he order the Pentagon to extend ALL military partner benefits NOT explicitly banned because of DOMA or Title 38 such as access to military family housing, as well as equal protections for individual LGB service members against harassment and discrimination—both of which they have conceded they could easily and legally do with no action by Congress required.

In addition to this merely being an amplification of Obama’s previous statement that he would stop defending DOMA, so soon people forget about the legal arguments made and historical examples given a couple of years ago for Obama, as President, to start refusing to ENFORCE any law he believes is unconstitutional.

Where’s the BEEF, Barry?
