Obama NOT Rushing to Repeal Gay’s in Military – Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy
Posted by Flap in Gay Politics
President Obama is not apt to repeat Bill Clinton’s mistakes, now is he?
President-elect Barack Obama will not move for months, and perhaps not until 2010, to ask Congress to end the military’s decades-old ban on open homosexuals in the ranks, two people who have advised the Obama transition team on this issue say.
Repealing the ban was an Obama campaign promise. However, Mr. Obama first wants to confer with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and his new political appointees at the Pentagon to reach a consensus and then present legislation to Congress, the advisers said.
Let’s see the advantages:
1. He keeps his homosexual constituency on hold while he collects campaign contributions from them.
2. Obama attaches his new pro-homosexual military policy to an appropriations bill so the Democrats in Congress do not have to vote separately on this issue exposing them to electoral scrutiny.
3. Did Flap mention the campaign contribution part and the “MILKING?”
