More DADT questions to White House, more noncommittal answers

Specifically, The Advocate asked, “Is the president potentially open to a scenario where congress votes on repeal this year, but delays implementation of repeal until the Defense Department study comes out -- in other words, deferring to the Department of Defense timeline on implementation of repeal."

“I have not heard that, but I will get an update on whether that's something that we have heard from the Hill or others around town,” Gibbs responded.

Gibbs also said he did not know if President Obama had spoken to Secretary Gates since last Friday, when a letter emerged from the secretary urging House Armed Services Committee chair Ike Skelton not to vote on repeal before the Pentagon completes its study in December.

The Washington Blade began the exchange by asking if the president was “ruling out” inclusion of repeal in the Defense authorization bill.

“Let me get some guidance on that,” Gibbs said. “I don't know the answer to that.”

Fix it! Pretty simple eh? When you are done with that you can get on the marriage equality issue, then work your way over to offshore drilling, Wars, Nuclear Power, The Patriot Act, CIA Death Squads, Health Care, Immigration, etc, etc.

6. i really don't understand the hold-up.

It's going to happen. Just f'ing do it all ready. What's the "rationale" (their excuse) for waiting? and waiting... What's the POINT?

No one who dislikes it is going to suddenly like it. No one who wants it is going to let this go. It's unconstitutional and immoral to continue this travesty of discrimination.
