Over the past year, voters across the nation have been waiting for President Obama to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy which stains the reputation of the United States' armed forces. A campaign promise which lesbians, homosexuals, and allies alike have been waiting to be fulfilled for the past year has just been promised once again. Of course, one hopes that President Obama means business this time, but perhaps I should not hold my breath.
P.S. I loved the zoom in on the military officials after the stated promise to repeal the archaic policy.

I think part of the dilemma is like, does he issue an executive order and get it that way, or does he wait for congress to do it so it will last beyond his administration? because frankly i don't think it would pass congress, but an exec. order would only last a few years... idk
do the executive order. no one would want to take people out of the military once they are already in!
Yeah, but he can pass an order and still push it through congress...
Kayla, good point!
Very good point.
