At least, for lovers and partners of people sick in hospitals, he's actually discovered civil rights.
More of Obama's thoughts at the link. Maybe he'll discover DADT repeal next.

A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics.

Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
