[Strangler Lewis]

Perhaps his title should be Fierce Advocate General.

Jokes aside, I still say it's early. Obama has a lot he wants to accomplish. He knows that Clinton thought he could lift the military ban and that the response screwed him up for two years. I think he also knows that if he takes the lead on this, his liberal supporters will thank him for doing the reasonable thing, perhaps write him a check and then go to dinner. His opponents will hijack the House and Senate Floor with little else and will blast hundreds, if not thousands of hours of hysterical talk radio and it will be early Clinton all over again.
