I don't know, I like to think I'm a pragmatist. And the "repeal" Obama's already gotten credit for was such a cop-out it could happen tomorrow or 20 years from now. Here we are with a real suspension of it, and the Obama Administration is complaining about it because they were already on it. That screams appeasement to me, that they only wanted to offer lip service to it.
Obama's been fairly spineless no a lot of issues, and homosexuality is one that keeps coming back up. Of course, health care, government spending, and anything the Republicans don't like also fall under that category, so....
Anyway, not sure what's surprising. I was pissed at Howie Dean when he defined marriage as between a man and a woman and legalised Civil Unions (Which states don't recognise and provide only partial benefits, a la "separate but equal") And I'm pissed off at Obama for going less than half-ass.
