7. you act as if the President is singularly responsible for all that needs to be done

Seems to me that you could now accept his explanation that he's interested in changing the law, not just making an executive action which could be overturned. You also ignore the fact that he said he hasn't precluded executive action on contracts. In effect, he's just not stepping on the Frank bill, just yet.

In fact, you'd think there would be some room to trust the President on these issues after he managed to get Congress to actually pass a law to repeal DADT. I'm not understanding your campaigning against the president on LGBT issues in these threads. His support and efforts on LGBT issues has been unprecedented for a sitting president and he's still in place and willing to go further. He's not the only arbiter of those changes' however.
