Keith and Rachel on the President's "olive branches" and inaction

Above you can see Keith Olbermann's chat last night with HRC President Joe Solmonese about President Obama's granting some rights to the same-sex partners of federal employees.

It's questioned whether it's a "memorandum" or "executive order" (if it's a memorandum, it'll expire as soon as he leaves office), and whether it's a "make good", an "I.O.U." or "an insult". I think it's interesting that Keith seems more fired up (and less willing to give the President the benefit of the doubt) than Joe.

Rachel Maddow also took on the "memorandum" with Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin. You can see that conversation below, which includes talk about that hideous DOMA brief, and what the chances are of repealing DOMA in the near future.
