Will President Obama use an Executive Order on Discrimination this year?

Now that Obama has a second term, Gay activists are ready for action. The first thing that seems to be on the forefront is for him to sign an executive order banning discrimination by federal contractors.

Here's more:

The White House shelved the executive order earlier this year, but it remains a top priority for gay rights groups. They argue that if Obama signs the order it could encourage Capitol Hill to pass broader legislation that would extend a similar ban to employers.
Allison Herwitt, legislative director for the Human Rights Campaign, said gay rights supporters want to see movement from the president soon.

"The push is to have them do it sooner instead of later," Herwitt said. "I do think it helps pave the way for a fully inclusive [Employment Non-Discrimination Act]. ... It is the way that the government puts its imprimatur on what's important and makes a difference in people's lives. The president would be saying it's important not to discriminate."

I think this will be done in March or sometime in the spring. I think the big battle is the tax breaks.
