Obama to announce benefits for federal employees' same-sex partners

[fflo]

Hot on the heels of the Obama Justice Dept's crappy brief about DOMA, tomorrow the President's gonna come out with this supposedly good news, but with a caveat: the homo partners won't get all of the benefits. Only some. Like, not all the health insurance benefits.

What fraction of them do you suppose they'll get? Perhaps 3/5??

"Compromise" sometimes is a dirty word, Mr. President.

Werd. I'm getting tired of telling myself that it'll happen... with time... blah blah blah... And I'm starting to get pretty angry.

So. DO you think he can get re-elected without us and our time and money?

oh, probably. sad to say. after all, he's going to have all the big-money money next time around.

and there's always that unfortunate "what, we're gonna vote for the republican?"

It's true. And anything else sounds irrational and idealistic. I'm feeling pretty motivated to start a third party.
