If you think Conservatives are angry now about the moves that Barack Obama has made, wait until he gets the gay ban lifted from the armed forces.
President Barack Obama In recent days, the Associated Press reports, President Obama has begun mapping out a strategy to allow military men and women to step outside the closet if they so choose. Exactly how he plans to go about getting that done is still a mystery, but he has instructed his top military brass to come up with a way to axe the don’t-ask-don’t-tell law.
During the presidential campaign, Obama promised gay Americans that he would get rid of the ambiguous law. White House spokesman Tommy Vietor has said that, "as part of a long-standing pledge," Obama has begun consulting closely with Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen "so that this change is done in a sensible way that strengthens our armed forces and our national security.”
About 150 members of the U.S. House sought to co-sponsor a bill introduced by Rep. Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.), that would repeal the ban. Tauscher's bill never saw the light of day.
"We got a lot of very big issues, and I think the Department of Defense will be engaging that as well in terms of considering the viability of that policy going forward," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday.
President Bill Clinton had sought to open the military to gays as one of his first acts as president, but his fellow Democrats were divided over the issue.
Do you think it is a good idea for the Obama administration to reverse the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy? (SEE the discussion on the IATBS sidelines...dont be scurred..lol)
