Hospital visitation rights? How about some REAL benefits for same sex couples? Like I said, nothing but crumbs and only because some gay rights activists have been asking the " what have you done for me lately" to Obama.
Also DADT should NOT be repealed, just altered to not allow people to be discharged due to accusations or third party rumors.
Sorry for the rant but I do not care for this President, I feel like he just told certain voting blocs what they wanted to hear to get elected and it annoys me that people still haven't seen through his BS.

Oh...everyone sees through every politicians' BS. Don't misunderstand Obama's supporters. Democrats would be equally wrong to think that Republicans didn't see through Bush I and II's BS (ie. Read my lips and We won the War!) Every politician promises people things they can't deliver, and every politician appeases key constituents with executive orders and the like. Bush gave lots of things to the religious right that are comparable to this "not an executive order."
