And Barry Does the Right Thing

Funny story, Barry and Michelle's first date was Do the Right Thing (which I love as a film, for the record, and I know what the riot started) and Barry has finally come around to doing it.

Obama has finally order the Justice Department to stop defending DoMA.

Yay.

I know this was not a priority for the Obama Administration with two wars, a global economic collapse, and the fallout from the previous administration.

So, first thing being handled was DADT, which is kind of gone right now, and now DoMA, but...

Why did he wait so long? Is this a throwaway to the left so it looks like the Administration is doing something as the GOP on a state level goes after unions and the right to collective bargaining. (Which is another post, but most of you know where I stand on this, both personally and politically, and how I feel about teachers specifically.)

That's what it feels like to me. Indiana and Wisconsin are trying to destroy strong labor, Kansas is being even more strict about reproductive rights, and on the Federal level, the House is de-funding Planned Parenthood, NPR, and PBS, as well as a number of social initiatives that are near and dear to me.

So, is Barry placating the left?
