Tony Perkins of Family Research Council and Robert Zimmerman of Democratic National Committee discuss Obama's timing and the issues in changing policies like Don't Ask, Don't Tell for the military. Perkins implies that Obama won't get support on Health Care reform if he doesn't keep the status quo while Anderson notes that it is pretty clear thus far that Obama really hasn't come through on many issues affecting GLBT constituents specifically. Perkins brings it back to fundraising at the end. Money and wedge issues - they are their bread and butter.

1. It's already too late, Anderson. His administration is over, and he's done nothing about nothing.

2. I've been staring at your post for several minutes;

And I do not have but one clue about what you are saying; either you are a one issue Democrat or you are a multi issue republican.

Just saying.

3. Uh, that would be sarcasm.

It seemed kind of obvious.

4. Well, it wasn't obvious to at least two on DU. He didn't use the sarcasm thing and the 'sarcasm'

wasn't sarcastic enough to make it obviously sarcasm. I'm just sayin...

5. "His administration is over"

That's all I really needed to know that it was sarcasm.

6. Anderson covered this???

Oh yes, this is a topic Anderson should do a 2hr in depth special report on. I used to love Anderson (HOT!!!!) But then I couldn't handle his staying in the closet, corporate YES Man!!! Shtick. His show could be really good, if he would show his true colors, and get on board the progressive train.
