The administration that repealed DADT deserves more time. Dolan's garbage...

...ludicrous as it is, should not eclipse the achievements of the current administration.

I'm not particularly impressed with Dolan, but it's his behaviour that irritates me, not Obama's.

I watched hours of speeches prior to the big ones at the convention.

There were constant references to "you should be able to marry the person you love" as well as "a woman's right to choice about her body"

The Democratic speakers were crystal clear on those points and they repeated them constantly.

Thwarting it at this stage over something like Dolan really would be shooting oneself in the foot.
