Please don't gloss over the fact that one of the first bills to get passed by the New Congress with New President is the hate crimes bill that has been sitting unvoted on since Mathew Freaking Sheppard's brutal murder!!! President Obama invited Mathew's mother to the signing ceremony.

I am not Obama's biggest cheerleader, have much to criticize him about. But he did re-iterate the hate crimes Bill passage in the SOTU. He didn't have to.

I wish he would have simply given the number of Arabic Linguists that have been discharged due to DADT. Give the Tough on Terror (sic) GOPers some reality.
