President Barack Obama will focus "at the right time" on how to overturn the "don't ask, don't tell" ban on gays serving openly in the military, his national security adviser said Sunday.
That immediately begs the question: If not now, when? And further: When you say right time...do you mean at a time which is acceptable to the Fox "news" republicans who clearly, if inexplicably, have this President cowed?
No, not cowed--it's like they're in a codependent relationship. He thinks if he just acts nice and does every little thing they want him to do, they'll like him as much as the Democrats do. Big surprise: That's never going to happen.
And if he keeps focusing on them and not on the people whose votes put him in office, Democrats aren't going to like him much either.
As a candidate, Obama signaled support for repealing the law. To the disappointment of gay-rights supporters, he has yet to made a move since taking office in January. The White House has said it will not stop the military from dismissing gays and lesbians who acknowledge their sexuality.
President Obama, please look very carefully at what I said in this post's title. I mean every word and phrase quite precisely and literally. You. Cannot. Abuse. People's. Trust. Like this.
