Incoming Press Secretary Gibbs has announced that Obama will overturn Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, allowing gays to serve openly in the military.  Now, I’ve made no secret of the fact that I think one of the BEST things about being gay is not having to worry about being in the military, so I have seriously mixed feelings about this.

More to the point:  Two months ago, I would have never dreamed I’d be accusing Obama of stoking the culture wars to distract from more important things.  And yet, here we are, and I’m…. concerned.  If this is really about gay rights, then great, I guess (although I can think of a bunch of gay rights much higher on my list of priorities).  But, you know, beggers can’t be choosers.  On the other hand, if this is just another case of trotting out the gays to take the heat off the hard shit–then that’s lame, Mr. Obama.  Very lame.
