Obama: Accidental Deficit Hawk

America's first gay commando unit does NOT in fact train to show tunes.

So, the GAO is using all those facty type things, like the CBO, to make "points" based on "evidence".

In this case, the Pentagon's DADT policy probably cost the taxpayer $200M over five years in troop retraining.

Now, $200M is about a weekend's worth of fighting in Khost, but still.  As aggravating as Obama's "Vulcan" persona can be, as exasperating as his seeming passivity in the face of BS attacks can be, the fact is he seems remarkably dedicated to creating a government that works from a purely pragmatic stand point.  And in so doing, he creates a government that does the right thing, more often than not.  (Don't get me started in Gitmo.)

So much of what he has done or wants to do makes sense on the two levels of moral decency and governmental efficiency, that they really should be no-brainers.

Unfortunately, he has an opposition party that seems driven by brainlessness.
