46. I thought that that's what we have majority/minority leaders & whips for?
Did I miss something? Everybody knows (or should know) Obama's position on DADT and knows that he will sign a repeal of it- should it get to his desk. I take from what many people here are saying that the problem is that he isn't (and probably won't be) pushing for repeal of DADT as aggressively as he did for HCR and since he isn't, he doesn't care and Congress is way too risk averse to push it through without some Presidential "prodding"- without which, I guess, repeal is doomed to failure? Did I get that right? :shrug:
