Spineless?

Brian Doherty isn't happy that Obama is moving slowly on DADT:

I imagine if Obama makes this change cleanly at any time in his term, he'll be fondly remembered. Still, his apparent unwillingness to be bold on something he considers a matter of both justice and wise policy--and that he has clear political support on--should be disconcerting to his fans.

It is. Because it is a caution based on caution - not reality.
