Obama to OK benefits for same-sex partners


President Obama will sign a memorandum today granting health care and other benefits to the same-sex partners of federal employees, two senior administration officials said. The signing will take place in the Oval Office and follows sharp criticism of the president over a Justice Department motion filed last week in support of the Defense of Marriage Act, which opposes same-sex marriage.
