In an interview with Larry King, Barbra Streisand said she was disappointed in President Barack Obama for not using his power to stop discharges under the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

During their conversation Wednesday night on CNN, King asked Streisand whether she was disappointed in Obama.

"At first, maybe a little, because I would have liked to have him use his executive privilege to, if that's possible legally, to get rid of something like 'don't ask, don't tell,'" she said. "I think people admire real strength, even though it's misguided."

In the clip below, Streisand also discusses her disappointment with the midterm election results, saying that Democrats failed to communicate their accomplishments.
