Item:&#160 Back in February of 2008, B. HUSSEIN!!!!!&#160 Obambi, called for an end to the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy as regards to heterophobes serving in the military.&#160 (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:&#160 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’&#160 article was written by Sheryl Gay&#160 Stolberg?&#160 &#160 )

Reaction:&#160 So he repeated a campaign promise.&#160 It’s federal law (UPDATE:&#160 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.&#160 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.

  2. David Hartung says:

    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.

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?
