I might as well find a brick wall because I might be able to get a better argument?

Obama pushed thru repealing DADT, he has said DOMA should be repealled.

Should I just tape record a message to be replayed each time you reply?

I mean I know that no matter what Obama says in regards to civil rights for GLBT you won't be happy. So go ahead and repeat it again for me if you'd like - whatever makes you happy.

AND btw legislation has been intruduced in congress to repeal DOMA but last time my math checked we don't have the votes.

It needs 60 votes to survive the filibuster and no matter how 'fire & brimstone' Obama gets I highly doubt there is a single republican that would support it.
