Item:  Back in February of 2008, B. HUSSEIN!!!!!  Obambi, called for an end to the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy as regards to heterophobes serving in the military.  (The link is at http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/alexokrent/gGggJS – sorry, I’m not linking to it; go look at it yourself if you wanna see it that badly.)
Item:  Bambi pledges once again to repeal the policy.
“I will end ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ ” Mr. Obama told an audience of nearly 3,000 people at a fund-raising dinner for the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay advocacy group. “That is my commitment to you.”
(Incindentally, how ironic is it that the Slimes’  article was written by Sheryl Gay  Stolberg?    )
Reaction:  So he repeated a campaign promise.  It’s federal law (UPDATE:  Wiki, as generally unreliable as it is, has the info on that), and that would require any repeal be passed in the Congress – and that, while eminently possible, isn’t the slam-dunk some folks think it might be.  Yawn.
Jugears might have done better to keep his fucking mouth shut for once.

Darth/Spats,
I thought that “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” was an executive policy, and only needs an executive order to repeal.
Added the link.
I stand corrected.
Given the fact that the Democratic Congress has not been able to pass the Cap and Trade bill, and any sort of health care bill, I doubt that they will change the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law, unless they sneak it in at the last minute as a rider on an appropriations bill.
