Not Bush, just as not McConnell (Reid), and not Boner (Pelosi) is not good enough.

However as the crowds enthusiasm escalated in familiar Obama engendered excitement, I could feel the expectation and the tacit drum roll as the President announced that he would see to it that “ LGBT couples would receive as many federal benefits and federal rights as the law allows”… the crowd went crazy… I think they thought he was heading on a path of overt commitment to the repeal of DOMA – and acknowledgment of our right to marry; but unfortunately he did not, instead he concluded this right to benefit by referring to “domestic partners act” and did nothing new or different to endorse our right to marry under the civil law. The problem with saying “as the law allows” creates a contradiction – DOMA ensures that the “LAW DOES NOT ALLOW!” So my mind was begging –“Mr. President please tell us how, when, you will ensure the repeal of DOMA – it is the Key – I do not want Federal benefits “as much as the law allows” because that is a big zero and I will get none. http://www.oblogdeeoblogda.wordpress.com

Good night, Loo Hoo and demi!

.. and I should finally haul in my lemon tree tonight. It’ll be dipping into the 40′s here tonight.

Feeling like I’ve just posted questions and then I run off.. I shouldn’t have done that, huh? Sorry FDLers..

Please say hello to ES and the other LLN pups for me? Thanks, friends.

It’s brilliant! They can hear delusional people all day long and then just let it be truth.

Hope our local media folk have a clue.

Like that! ‘honorable mention’ LOL. Thanks, JayT

Well gee whiz, I guess they’ll have to tone down their holier-than-thou family values the closer we get to 2010. Nah, they won’t. IMHO, they’ll just trot it out again, and the Family Research Council and the rest of those enablers on C street know that their core audience has a blissfully short memory.

As long as we can approach the voting machine vigilance the O team rolled out last November and slam down the Sequoia machines’ screwups, maybe, just maybe we will see far fewer of these double-talking xenophobic, homophobic, race-baiting slime dogs..

Here’s hoping, anyway? Come to think of it, I haven’t heard much about Holt’s voting security legislation. Have any of us been following that? I’m so wrapped up with health care legislation ping-pong…

That said,
I’ll take my tears,
And, go to bed.
