ABC News has learned that tomorrow President Obama will sign a presidential memorandum extending benefits to the same-sex partners of gay and lesbian federal employees.

The move was long planned, sources say, though it comes at a time that gay and lesbian supporters of the president are expressing anger and disappointment at his inaction on rescinding Don't Ask/Dont Tell, his opposition to same-sex marriage, and his support for the anti-same-sex-marriage Defense of Marriage Act in a legal brief that compared same-sex unions to incestuous ones.

Do not ever use the words, "bone" and "gays" in the same sentence ever again.

That being said, nice to see OUR tax dollars are being spent wisely again.  Wasn't it Zero who said we were broke a few weeks ago?
