Looks like I am a growing movement. The NYT is at last , long last, taking its cues from the k+b. "On Wednesday, Colonel Fehrenbach’s lawyers filed papers in Idaho federal court requesting a temporary order blocking his discharge. The petition contends that a discharge would violate Colonel Fehrenbach’s rights, cause him irreparable harm and fail to meet standards established in a 2008 federal court ruling on don’t ask, don’t tell.
For advocates of abolishing the ban against gay men, lesbians and bisexuals serving openly, Colonel Fehrenbach’s case has become something of a line in the sand. Though President Obama has called for ending the ban and Congress has begun moving in that direction, gay service members continue to face investigations and discharge, albeit at a lower rate than in past years." ( read the rest, please )

I used line in the sand, months ago, and mean it. I will not vote for President Barack Obama in 2012 if Victor Fehrenbach is discharged from the Air Force. Looks like I am not alone on this one.
EVERY ONCE in a while Messrs Obama and Gibbs, you NEED to dance with the one what brung you.....
