Leadership Failure at the White House

This tidbit from Pam Spaulding shows just how worthless our "fierce advocate" in the White House has become.

As we all know, without a fierce effort and person-to-person advocacy from Obama himself (or at least his senior-most staff), Senators have little reason to change their minds and support debating the Defense Authorization bill.

By this afternoon we will know what the fate will be of DADT repeal. If the Democrats fail to act unanimously, I'm walking: sign in the yard comes down, the Nye event on Sunday is canceled, and the boyfriend and I may seriously consider not voting on November 2, 2010. Why bother being involved if our "friends" are no better than our enemies in the final vote count.
