This combination image of President Barack Obama shows him, left, talking about the economy during a visit to Denver on July 9, 2014, and right, talking at the White House in Washington about the situation in Iraq on June 19, 2014. There's the confident Obama ridiculing opponents to the delight of his supporters. Then there's the increasingly unpopular president hobbled by gridlock in Washington and foreign policy crises. While Obama has long sought refuge away from the capital when his frustrations boiled over, the gap between his outside and inside games has perhaps never been bigger. (AP Photos)

This photo taken Saturday, June 21, 2014, shows demonstrators protesting outside of the White House in Washington against renewed U.S. involvement in Iraq. In charting a new phase of American military engagement in Iraq on Thursday, President Barack Obama pledged that his war-weary country will not be "dragged back" into a lengthy conflict or become ensnarled in "mission creep." But recent U.S. military history is full of warning signs about the difficulty of keeping even a limited mission from expanding and extending. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)

President Barack Obama plans to sign an executive order banning federal contractors from discriminating against employees on the basis of their sexual orientation, a White House official said Monday. The move follows years of pressure from gay rights groups for Obama to act on his own while a broader employment non-discrimination measure languishes on Capitol Hill. The Senate passed the legislation last year but the bill stalled in the Republican-led House and there is little sign that lawmakers will take it up in an election year.

FILE - This May 27, 2014, file photo shows President Barack Obama, standing in the White House Rose Garden, and speaking about the future of US troops in Afghanistan. Obama outlined a timetable for the gradual withdrawal of the last U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and confidently declared, "This is how wars end in the 21st century." But less than three weeks later, there is a sudden burst of uncertainty surrounding the way Obama has moved to bring the two conflicts he inherited to a close. In Iraq, a fast-moving Islamic insurgency is pressing toward Baghdad, raising the possibility of fresh American military action more than two years after the last U.S. troops withdrew.
