Monday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The President will be vacationing in Martha's Vineyard all week. Absent a crisis, we won't be hearing much from him. The Vice President is covering a lot of territory this week. This morning, he's speaking at Veterans of Foreign Wars Convention in Indianapolis. Then, he's heading to Toledo to talk about the work the administration has done to strengthen (and save) the U.S. auto industry.

Over the weekend, the Pentagon sent out its latest survey about the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. This one went to "military spouses." Servicemembers United blasted this survey as "insulting and derogatory." SU's statement and the full survey are posted here. We expect to hear more from SU on this issue today. SLDN is sending letters to the Pentagon Working Group from spouses and families that have been impacted by DADT. The first letter, from Lynne Kennedy, the partner of Capt. Joan Darrah, U.S. Navy (Ret.), is posted here.

What else?
