3. this bill was passed unanimously in both houses
I'm all for credit where credit is due, but not vetoing a law that was passed unanimously in both houses is hardly standing up for gay rights.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Both the House and Senate unanimously and in record-time passed the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 at the end of last week, clearing the way for the President's signature. This new tax law, which is already available in full analysis on Checkpoint, the premier tax research platform for the Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters, temporarily suspends the requirement for taxpayers age 70-1/2 and older (and their beneficiaries) to make annual minimum distributions from their retirement plan accounts. This will provide older Americans some much-needed financial flexibility as they struggle to manage their finances during this difficult economic time.
