President Obama mandated Thursday that hospitals extend visitation rights to the partners of gay men and lesbians and allow same-sex couples to share medical power of attorney, perhaps the most significant step so far in his efforts to expand the rights of gay Americans.

I thought anyone already had visitation rights with someone who would have them. Oh, well... whatever makes the sodomites happy...
Obama LIES!
“allow same-sex couples to share medical power of attorney”
You can already give medical power of attorney TO ANYONE YOU CHOOSE.
Maybe it’s just me, but I would’ve thought that such a ruling would have come from a District or Federal Judge; what’s the President of the U.S. doing issuing orders like this? Shouldn’t he be concentrating on Foreign Relations and broad domestic policies? Oh wait, as Emperor, he gets to decide everything, big and small. Well, he shows once again how small he is.
I wonder if I could swish into any hospital and gain access to the private medical records of any man by claiming to be his gay partner? I could start with somebody easy like Barney Frank and maybe move on to other liberal targets.
There are some conservative gays out there. Maybe they could be hired to pose as gay partners to liberals who visit hospitals so their medical records can be accessed.
Exactly right. All that is needed is for the patient to give permission. This is just grandstanding.
No need for as there are few hospitals in the US that would deny visitation to an unmarried partner.
Hitler just took power as does Obummer.
“Meaningless pillow talk for the gays.”
As a nurse, the hospitals where I have worked have a policy that whoever the patient says is family is family. Zero makes it sound as if this is something brand new that he invented. What a jerk.

King Obama: let it be written; let it be done!
The gay tyranny cometh... here we go, now the tax payers have to pay for gays and gay attention in particular. It’s so pimping, I tell ya, you’d think we are in South Chicago or Gary, Indiana.
Placemark for pingout.
I guess the teleprompter forgot to tell Zero that all one needs for a medical powers of attorney is a simple fill-in-the-blank-form and a notary.
anyone can appoint anyone else as their medical power of attorney - doesn’t need a presidential directive, request, memorandum, whatever. It should be up to the individual who is doing the appointing, not the president.
This is dangerous territory.
That's my point. This is just political grandstanding. I hope a Republican has the brains to point that out on national TV.
Yes, but my point was that Zero now feels empowered to issue edits as if he were King.
Ofcourse anyone can be named in a Medical POA.
bump
And we’re paying the tab for HIV, too.
That’s so Larry Sinclair can visit zero should he ever be hospitalized. LOL!
