I've been rather critical of what I've seen as President Obama's foot dragging on LGBT rights, so much so that my anger made it into the Kansas City Star. But I have to send serious kudos to Obama for lending the force of the federal government to lesbians and gays whose spouses are ill and in the hospital. This is going to help an amazing number of people.
Here's the memo announcing the new order he just issued.

I don't have a problem with this, although it should be noted that it was only necessary because the hospital staff people were being jerks.
