Well, it's hard to get a message through with a shrieking opera of "MUSLING KENYAN USURPER!" and "Winning!" between you and the audience.

You know, on DADT, Congress did for once grow a pair and went with it. But that was in the context of a lame duck where momentum suddenly shifted into "Get some shit done," and Obama was instrumental in getting that going. He also kept saying, "I want DADT repealed" and trotted out Gates and Mullen to hammer it home multiple times. If he hadn't have done that, I don't think some of the even-more-chickenshit-than-the-norm Senators would have gone along with it, BTW. He doesn't deserve all the credit, but he definitely deserve some.
