Reply #5: An example of extrodinary leadership.... [View All]

[Firebrand Gary]

A few weeks back most of my friends flipped out over the Obama administration asking for a stay on the immediate federal repeal of DADT. That made me a little uneasy, however the last three years have taught me to wait and see what the "Obama big picture" is.

The line "The certification requirement was a key component of the compromise that allowed the repeal to finally move through Congress last December".

This is where I will remind myself that the President has to keep not only his word to me and my constituency but also his word to congress, allowing for continued level of positive, trustworthy and productive working relationship.

That is extrodinary leadership.
