Reply #163: Stop blaming Bill Clinton. He got as much as he could for gays from [View All]

a hate-filled, fear-mongering Congress and military over 15 years ago. (Thank God that the attitudes have changed immeasurably for gays since that time period.) The GOPers tried to defeat anything Clinton wanted because for some unfathomable reason they hated him so. They hated him as much as they hated gays. Bill Clinton was possibly the most engaged, brilliant and empathetic president ever. A small town boy with enthusiasm probably gained from his childhood of not being one of the elite, but of being one of the fortunate, Bill Clinton cared then (and still does) about people and considered the impact on them more than most politicians do when in the throes of seemingly insurmountable policy decisions. And leave Hillary out too. Obama is president. I hope he issues the executive order, but if he doesn't, it will be his call, not the Clintons. The buck now stops on all the administration calls with Obama.
