I agree that we must give the President time but along the way we must do our job as citizens. The administration will respond to pressure and its our job to make sure that we keep the pressure up. Political activism starts with friction. I have no doubt that the President intends to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell but the timeline will be advanced through activism. The same can be said for all of the other programs we wish to see advanced. Perhaps if there was a rigorous call for single payer in the health insurance debate from the beginning, now we would be offering the public option as a compromise. But it is up to us to make our feelings known. Thanks for inspiring us to communicate. Joel Silberman Thank you for standing up for the constitutional rights of all Americans.

Jack - your experience is reflected in the need for a President not to be fixated on his campaign, but in step with the current realities. Hillary - you're a passionate advocate for the principles you believe in. Let these exchanges be even more uninhibited in the expression of your points-of-view, and it will be an event "hotter" blog that will get even more attention. I enjoyed this exchange.
