    Yippy Skippy - Obama tossed us a bone

    Obama's words are empty without *significant* concrete action -signing an order giving *limited* benefits to gay employees is effectively temporary since when he leaves office, the order is of no effect and these "benefits" don't include health care. He's Nero while Rome burns. Servicemen and women are being discharged as he eats his hors d'oeuvres. His actions are insulting. At least we know where we stand with the Repugs and their ilk who consider us sub-human.
