My Comment: High unemployment, taxes, trillion dollar deficits, uncontrollable (and unsustainable) growth of government, wars and terrorism .... all of this plays second fiddle to repealing DADT and pushing amnesty for illegals. Two weeks after being destroyed in Congressional and state elections .... this White House and their supporters in Congress are still deaf, dumb, and blind too all with the exception of their base who support these social policies.
