Obama RAN on repealing DADT and I think that if he wants his base to really turn out the vote for the midterms, he needs to use his executive powers, which are exceptionally broad in a time of war, and just say, 'We're done enforcing it. Period.'
This is one of those times when I just don't understand humanity. These are men and women who are willing to fight and die for their country, something that most people AREN'T willing to do (me being one of them - I'd fight someone invading who was at my door, but military service is something I've actively avoided), and we shun them because of who they have sex with.
