Repealed!

Congratulations to Barack Obama and all Americans, gay & straight, serving in the military or not. The repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell is historic and so important! I'm so happy we finally ended this discriminatory law. My nieces some day will ask what the big deal was!

And on another note, I hope the Senate ratifies the New START treaty with Russia. They would give the President 3 very strong wins in this lame duck session of Congress. 4 huge victories when you include Health Care reform.

However, I think the tax cuts for the wealthy is bull shit. But the employment insurance extension was hugely important. I crack up when the Republicans bitch about it. No one gets rich off unemployment!

I've grown quite fond of Lt. Dan Choi! Here's a link to a great interview with him in the Village Voice, Bad Lieutenant, Dan Choi

DADT

Barrack Obama to the gay community - "Just kidding! Sorry guys, DADT is back on the books!"

I'm extremely disappointed with the President. Over 80% of Americans are for the repeal of this law. Just fucking do it already! Bypass Congress with an executive order. We all know the law will not be repealed if the Republicans take the House. But sure enough, the President and the Democratic party will be knocking on the doors of the gay community in 2012 asking for money. Don't call me, you're not getting shit! We're tired of you whispering sweet nothings in our ear and providing squat!

Below is an angry Lt. Dan Choi on CNN.

DADT

Pissed is a great way to describe how I feel with today's defeat of Don't Ask Don't Tell. The U.S. Senate is a disaster this term. I'll be calling Sen. Scott Brown's office tomorrow to register my disgust with him. Maybe I'll run against that jack ass.

And take a look at this . . . so glad this idiot isn't our President
