This is a pattern we might say is indicative of "1993 syndrome," where Obama and his administration actually think that Republicans have much say in anything at all. The hapless Democrats don't even know what to do with their mandate, and this country will stagnate in its own dirty pools until if and when they figure it all out.

Even if the original policies pre-date DOMA, the current interpretations to exclude same-sex couple equality are in line with this, most odious, part of the Clinton legacy. We need to shift some anger to congress where the legislation to repeal DOMA must occur. How long have the democrats been in the majority? These rules all seem to follow from DOMA.

My husband is being added to my benefits (he's retiring) and my next benefits elections would be to increase the amount withheld to pay for incidental healthcare. Since this is a federal law, I won't be able to use his expenses and be reimbursed from my account. Also excluded is the Flexible Spending account.
