In reality, Obama only has the power to sign or veto legislation. Yes he can advocate for certain laws with the bully pulpit, but it is ultimately up to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and other members to push the repeal of DOMA and DADT through Congress. The time to really be angry at Obama is if he actually vetoes a repeal. Encouraging the president to skirt and flout the law will only do so much. Where is the pressure on the people with the real power?
