I doubt it will be a priority for him at all, and I actually HOPE Obama doesn't get sucked into this issue early on. There are a lot more important and less controversial things he should have at the top of the list, and this is not one of them.

Remember what happend to Clinton? One of the very first things he tackled was allowing gays in the military, of all things. It weakened him and gave his opponents ammunition against him and hurt him when it was time to work on some more important things. Sure, it's a rights issue and should have come up on his agenda eventually, but is that really where you want to spend all your good will and political capital during the "honeymoon" period of your new presidency?

Obama has studied the successes and failures of past presidents like Clinton and Reagan, and I don't think he will make the mistake of going to this issue early on. I HOPE he does get to it soon enough, but I would not personally put it at the top of the list.
