12. It's okay to be anti-Obama on some issues
I am anti-Obama on all gay issues because like most politicians, be it D or R, they make promises to garner votes and then conveniently break those promises when it seems they will lose political clout because of them. It's happened time and again to the gay community. Like the OP said, Obama could have kept his promise by issuing a stop-loss presidential order and then had the Congress critters work to repeal DADT. He keeps his promise and works to change the laws permanently as well. Instead, we have to watch HIS judicial department DEFEND DADT in the courts. That certainly doesn't seem like he's going to keep the promise of repealing DADT by this years' end. So yeah, I'm definitely Anti-Obama on this and other gay issues that he and his party are falling down on.
