12. Presidents are supposed to lobby Congress for legislation they believe in
Obama has done it on dozens of other bills.

And by lobbying, I don't mean issuing White House statements. I mean twisting arms and making phone calls.

That being the said, grassroots gay activists and the SLDN are the reason we have a bill to begin with.

The LGBT community and its leaders have been lobbying Congress non-stop for this for years.
