WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama pledged to end the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the military in a speech Saturday, but acknowledged to a cheering crowd that the policy changes he promised on the campaign trail are not coming as quickly as they expected.
"I will end 'don't ask-don't tell,'" Obama said at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay civil rights advocacy group.
He did not give a timetable for the repeal of the law passed by Congress in 1993 and signed by President Bill Clinton, who also promised to repeal the ban on homosexuals in the military but was blunted by opposition in the military and Congress.

Straights will get out or not join. The military will become fabulous. More will die.
‘O’ is a pandering Idiot.
What a pandering jerk. Service members give up their rights to serve our Nation. Gays are clearly against nature and they know it. Not alot of creation going on with two fags doing the cornhole.
I think he wants to drive normal, conservative minded people out of the military and turn it into just another social welfare program for minorities and misfits.
“I appreciate that many of you don’t believe progress has come fast enough,” Obama said. “Do not doubt the direction we are heading and the destination we will reach.”
Heh, heh...queers had better watch their backsides when the Mutt starts promising things.
Hey now... nobody said “This Thread is Worthless Without Pictures”...
Now I wanna vomit.
Gays tend to be liberals. Liberals tend to be anti-military. Gays in the military? Question the motive.
What obambi does not understand is that many things he does will get him the ‘gay’ vote without losing much
but this will cost him far more han he gains
That punk should be a “Community Organizer” at best. Unfortunately none of his “Community” is listening.
Those 2 fers will save the enemy bullets.
God forgive me.
FUBO!
Gays in the Military.
Cause it’s worked so well for Churches.
Never in the military in thr first place. Your forgiven
He is just "talking"....which is something is does well.
How long until "transgendered" individuals are allowed? I'm sure dudes in skirts would definitely contribute to good order and discipline. Yeth, thir.
All I can say is that I would have loved to have had a cute lesbo as my bunk mate in basic.
If it against the laws of our creation it doesn’t happen. Faggots, Queers, and all the rest provide nothing to the normal tenements of human life. They seem to despise it.
Yes, Obama was quite miffed at the military for having such a fondness for FoxNews, and they have him on video displaying his disgust (youtube it). In the vid Obama asks why every military base he visits, a crowd of Marines are usually found glued to a FoxNews report. This is his revenge.
Obama says will end ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy.
That’s so gay.
Obama is a Rev. Wright idiot. Work is a four letter word he didn’t have to face as a kid.
Making sex perversion simply a political matter, instead of a morality matter is the far left strategy.
This is above all, a matter of morality, decency and to make it even simpler, a matter of "right and wrong".
Homosexuality has always been known as sex perversion, destructive, and a crime against nature, because that is what it IS.
Did you have to post the pic?
What a coward. Why won’t he do it now?
Mr. President,
If this a policy you strongly believe in, please grow a pair of balls, push for it and get it passed and implemented.
Otherwise, please admit you are a coward and apologize to the country for your cowardice.
Thank You
Your Hater!!
I don't question their motive at all. It's quite obvious, but not PC to admit, that the motive is definitely not what the queers want us to believe it is. I know that if I were an enlisted man in today's army I would for obvious reasons much prefer quartering in the women's barracks instead of a bunk in the men's barracks. But I'm pretty sure that queer soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen have the exactly opposite idea in regard to their choice of barrack mates.
To tell the truth, at my age I can bunk down almost anywhere that's reasonably comfortable and not miss having a female bunkmate while I'm dozing my way to the G-rated senior-citizen version of dreamland.
Can’t Obama just issue an executive order to repeal the policy? As CIC of the military, he can simply tell the Pentagon brass to stop implementing such a policy, no? Why all the talk then? This could have been done five minutes into his administration on a Post-It note.
Whenever he is speaking he equivocates. His rhetoric is just that, rhetoric.
Obama - the empty desk.
Obama is illiterate in history—even recent history. Clinton's attempts caused him no end of trouble.
not all of them are ;)
Is he talking about his birth certificate policy?
Exactly. Then his “just as powerful” army will begin the enforcement of policy,
Pres__ent 0bama, why don’t you worry about a real military policy: determining the strategy for winning the Afghanistan war (rather than some silly political special interest). You are unworthy to be the commander in chief.
If they’re allowed to serve openly does this mean they’ll be allowed to flap their hands about like butterflies and wear makeup to look pretty if that’s their cup of tea?
THe public reaction was so adverse , with mortification, that few do it now, but still, the same would happen here.
Terror weapon against he Taliban. A screaming army of gay flamers attacking jihadists for their fashion crimes.
I have a friend that serves. He says there are a lot of open gays that serve, but the higher ups just look the other way because they can’t afford the troop losses.
Is that photoshopped?
Maybe the crack pipe.
.
But that pic of BHO with ... forget the guy’s name (Larry _________? ) ...that’s for real?
