13. He bought DADT repeal with the extension of the tax cuts.
I don't like the tax cuts but on balance I think progress toward full equal rights is more important. We can still get rid of the tax cuts. But nobody can stop the momentum of glbt equality now that it has begun.

Did anyone think we'd get DADT repeal for free? No way we could change repubs' minds ideologically so we had to go for the only other thing they care about: money.
