I'm sorry. I thought I was on HN. Apparently not if this senseless post was up-voted.

Oh well, hypocrite time: http://whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com/ (which probably doesn't include DADT).

And considering that the President, you know, doesn't make telecom law. I have no problem complaining about a disconnected Congress and a corrupt FCC, but bashing Obama for this is silly and cheap.

Haha, I love that site and agree with many of the complaints there. I just hate the unsubstantiated "Obama hasn't done anything" stance when Congress screws stuff up. He's sold out on plenty, no doubt. 4th Amendment and Gitmo are enough to send me up a wall. Right now DADT is much more important to me though.

Obama has to sign bills and can veto them. I agree though this is a pointless reason to bash Obama; but I also think Obama is completely worth bashing in general--given his dialogue and what he has actually delivered.

FCC rulings aren't laws, he doesn't have direct control.
