That’s true. Can’t imagine any of them doing what Obama did with DADT. Obama does need to be better on this issue but he is better on these kind of issues than the Republican candidates who by and large try to outdo each other by seeing who can be most reactionary on gay rights issues.

Politically a lot of this stuff is untouchable so he’d have to wait for a second term. Unfortunately, Dems lost congress and Republicans are going to block everything. I had hopes we might see a Federal decriminalization of weed but that’s looking doubtful.
He’s also probably going to leave office with Gitmo still open, indefinite detention laws and a whole bunch of other stuff still on the books.
I have slim hope that someday we might see publicly funded campaigns but that’s also looking very doubtful.
