Bush wouldn't have told the
Human Rights Campaign he was going to end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Like Healthcare, I'll believe it when it happens.
This is new, right? IIRC, Obama hadn't really touched on gay rights at all during the campaign.
I wonder if this is to minimize the backlash about the Nobel Peace Prize, taking action on some new issues instead of discussing the ones where we won't see results for a least a year, or much longer (i.e. nuclear disarmament, where we pretty much have to trust that his good intentions will make a change in the world's nuclear missiles stocks).
