1. Every time an Obama supporter posts another "list" of Pres. Obama's

accomplishments, one of the points is "repeal of DADT".

Back around December 20th, 2010, Pres. Obama signed the repeal of DADT. I understand about the plan, certification, waiting period etc., but here we are, 7 months later, still arguing about whether DADT should be "repealed". Furthermore, someone on that video made reference to the govt. possibly arguing against the recent court decision.

It appears to me that Obama's signing the so-called repeal, to great hoopla, last December, was of no consequence whatsoever, as his action seems to not even be in the mix anymore. As an example of what the president is able to accomplish, it has no effect in the real world.

Since when does a president sign something into law and it never happens, logistical challenges be damned?

2. Where most of our federal budget is wasted... the Pentagon!

DUH.
