Is this, and the financial recovery the only two major accomplishments under Obama?

I am not saying they were positive or negative, but largest in terms of scope/impact.

Not sure if I call it a financial recovery. You can but go ask the millions out of work.

Thanks for making it political, first. I can always count on you for doing that. Way to completely ignore my 2nd sentence in the post.

Your Welcome. I think with a thread title that starts (Senate Passes) made it a political thread and its also in the political forum.

Each thread naturally splits into subthreads based on the ongoing conversation. It was clear I wasn't saying one or the other were effective.

Most of the time when the President signs a big bill they surrounds themself with the people that the bill helps. For example when he signed health care he had a few people there that the bill would help. See picture below and by the way check out Nancy Pelosi.



Now for this bill I figured he would have had a few gays there. Hell he didn't even have Barney Frank there as he signed the bill. LOL

and so, once again, my witty sarcasm falls prey to the emotionless void that is internet bulletin boards.

Re: Senate Passes Historic 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Repeal

My brother is a Lt. Colonel in the Army and is about to take command this spring and he says one of the biggest issues that this brings up is legistical concerns like housing, combat etc.... Things that also had to be considered when females entered the field (what to do during that time of the month etc...) Overall he does not seem to mind too much, it is what it is. It is just more of a legistical thing at least in some ways. I wish I could tell you more about our conversation but it was Thanksgiving and I was hitting the wine pretty hard.
