What’s the likelihood Obama will issue an executive order barring anti-LGBT bias in federal contracting?

“Slim to non-existent. I don’t get the sense that Obama is pro-LGBT. He appealed to the LGBT community when he was running for office. But now that he’s on his way out, I don’t see him doing something like that. If anything, he’ll focus on the economy.”

“Very likely. Eighty percent. He’s trying to make a difference, regardless of any backlash he gets. I truly believe Obama is sincerely pro-LGBT. He won’t base his decision on how it affects his reelection.”

“Unlikely. He’s got too many people breathing down his back right now. He’s trying to please everyone so he won’t take the initiative for one specific minority group. He’s trying to win over the majority.”

“I’d say 50-50. He’s afraid of negativity and criticism that he should be doing more important things. But I also think Obama tends to do the right thing. So I’m holding out hope that he’ll do the right thing in this case, too.”
