Liberal President Obama To Attack "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" In State of the Union Speech

Reuters.com:

During his 2008 campaign for the presidency, Obama vowed to end the rule discriminating against gays and he renewed that pledge in a speech last year.

"We were told by the Pentagon that they expected the president to say something in the State of the Union on it," said Senator Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, referring to the speech Obama will deliver on Wednesday evening to a joint session of the U.S. Congress.

But Levin added: "I have no idea" what Obama will say.

The rule, which dates to the presidency of Bill Clinton, requires homosexuals to keep quiet about their true sexual orientation if they want to be in the U.S. military. It also stops recruiters or commanders from asking members of the armed forces whether they are gay.

It was a compromise signed into law by Clinton in 1993 after the military objected to his calls for welcoming openly gay Americans into their ranks.

Folks shouldn't believe for second that Barry has learned anything from his failed 1st year in office. This is a man who is only interested in garnering benefits for one-fifth of the population that calls themselves "liberals", instead of the entire populate that he was elected to serve.
