President Obama Expanding Hospital Visitation Rights  | | | | President Obama had the following to say today: "Expanding Hospital Visitation Rights- Same sex partners and others should not be barred from a loved ones bedside in a time of need." I totally agree, good for him! | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | It's about time a president had the kahunas to address that simple yet important and significant situation! As an out lesbian, I have been truly fearful of my partner or I encountering something that would land us in a hospital. Depending on which state you're in or even what hospital you're in, one's partner can be denied admittance for visitation. I'd hate to be on my deathbed or in a position that I'm unable to speak and not have my couple with me! We're just like any other people. When we're in pain, we need comfort and solace from our significant others. Yet another reason I am an OUT Obama supporter! Go Obama Go! | | | | | | | | CJgirly (75)

| | Thanks for responding Veromar, it is about time! If I'm injured or on my deathbed etc., why should the gender or orientation of my visiting loved ones matter? of course, it shouldn't! Glad to see a president who cares about making progress for the people. | | | | veromar (849)

| | The thing is CJgirly, for some stupid reason, it's always been that way in the U.S. Just because the country was founded by the "Puritans" doesn't mean it has to stay that way. The country is resisting change, even in the simplest forms such as this topic, if you only listen to media influenced by the "right" (funny name for the group that touts "traditional values" and bucks against moving into the 21st century as a people....lol). At any rate, I really believe President Obama has the people's best interests at heart. There's a humanity to his decisions that has been lacking in past presidents. A shame that "they'll" probably find a way to make him the only 1-term president in decades. Hopefully not. | | | | | | | Barack Obama Local News Latest News on Obama '08 - Find yellowpages.com | add comment | | | |

| | Hard to believe this is news rather than common sense and decency. I just wonder if a birth certificate will be required first? /sarcasm | | | | | | | | CJgirly (75)

| | yes it seems like common sense to me as well, how ridiculous to not give everyone the same rights. | | | | | | | Join Emily's List Join Emily's List Today & Help Put More Democratic Women in Congress! www.EmilysList.org | add comment | | | |
