why has President Obama not moved to change "don't ask, don't tell?"



he is busy working on economy, healthcare and war

he fears that it will hurt him politically so he is dragging his feet...he just said it for votes

he is moving forward on it - it is not an easy matter to change and people need to be patient

Obama ALWAYS says what he thinks will get him votes OR get his approval up in the polls.
This is where I liked Bush. He didn't care what he poll numbers where if he was doing the right thing. It showed him to sale it better, but he did what he was suppose to do.

He will play this subject until he has to make a decision. He needs the divertion and he likes the attention he gets from the power of holding it over our heads. Just like Afghanastan. He enjoys the controversey. It probably thrills him to dangle around while we are going to HELL in a hand basket.

Don't you think that is a private issue. If you think the Islamic nations won't take advantage of the gays in the military openness and use it for religious propaganda, you are sadly mistaken. As a Christian, I am getting tired of tolerance of this and that, can't we just mind our own business and be respectful to one another.

Obama's deversion
2009-10-12 06:40:05 ET

It is a good deversion to keep people from thinking of his Socialist Health Care program. He is hoping he can sneak his Socialist Health Care boondogle through without GOOD people seeing the sneaky corrupt garbage he is pushing .

I don't understand the GLT community. During the campaign and debate he stated or Biden stated that they (obama/biden) believed marriage was between and man and a woman. I didn't hear any negativity toward them about this from these groups, and if there was any, it was minimal and yet they hugely supported him. obama was indoctrinated at a young age, as a muslim and they do not believe in homosexuality. So for him to court these groups and for them to openly accept his words, shows one of two things: 1) he's the master orator and everything he says is for self serving advancement (duh) and he will say and has said, anything for support and attention. Also, in this case to divert attention from Healthcare and Afghanistan, and 2) these groups, like so many others, are so naive and vulnerable that they are willing to believe him now. I think we will all see eventually, that this potus is not true to his word, to any group other than the ones that have deep pockets and can advance him to king of the world.

I voted that he is afraid a decision might hurt him politically.

Truefully he is inept, being incapable of decisions. Look at the lives being lost every day in war. Nor is his heart for American people or our country.

it's kind of a queer subject, when you think about it.

they're not right in the head
2009-10-12 19:40:35 ET

I don't understand the Gay, Lesbien, Transgender, beastiality, pedaphyle, or any of the other equally perverted, devient communities either.

Hey, maybe instead of normal humans being forced to accept perversion, why not just reverse that and force the devients to accept non-perversion?

FOX is a GOP outlet, but denies it. You can watch the program and decide for yourself.

FOX is the ONLY FAIR network
2009-10-13 07:22:14 ET

FOX is not, in any way what so ever, associated with Republicans. The truth is, and Democrats hate it: FOX is just NOT Liberal, like all the other networks. Democrats seem to think that if someone is not a flaming left wing loon, they are Republican. FOX is neither Democrat or Republican, FOX is just HONEST, and FAIR.

The reason Democrats hate FOX is because Democrats hate truth and honesty, because truth and honesty ALWAYS hurt Democrats.

Obama has no use for truth and honesty. Obama is truly dishonest and corrupt, so naturally, he hates FOX for ALWAYS PROVING beyond any doubt, what a corrupt, lying sack of shit Obama is.

Amen to that, FOX is the ONLY FAIR network, you, like FOX, speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Libs just hate it that FOX is not Liberal, so they make up dumb, dishonest, crap about FOX. All intelligent people know for an undeniable fact that FOX is neither left or right, just honest.

Obama is a liar, and all INTELLIGENT people know that for a fact.

FoX is a GOP tongue. You can always tell the people who watch FoX, they use personal attacks against any opposition.

FoX has no REAL JOURNALIST, that actually go out in the field and do HONEST reporting. Just pundits, "opinion guys", talking points, oh and President Obama haters 24/7.

It's sad when America or shall I say RED AMERICANS hate their president, yet the WORLD loves him. What a great time to be a human!!!!

Thanks FoX

Commies for Obama
2009-10-14 00:14:05 ET

You are correct, the Communist and Socialist, and Fascist countries of the world do love Obama who is one of their own.

FOX is the ONLY honest, fair, and accurate Network. You can't see that because you don't care about truth and honesty. You only care about keeping Blacks and browns as liberal voting slaves. You and your progressive friends and politicians are simply racists, trying to keep minorities down with welfare programs to steal their initiative to work for a better life.

Follow Teddy
2009-10-14 02:28:12 ET

It is not good to have the likes of Osama Bin Laden, Chavez or the Castro brothers, to like Obama because Obama is just like them. A good thing for him would be a brain tumor, then follow Teddy's lead.

Poor Whites are over 40% of the population
2009-10-15 16:20:26 ET

When "poor" blacks and browns start becoming rich and prosperous, elected officials, and their numbers soar and outgrow whites in 2050. This is gonna scare the SHIT out of whites!! This is not what republicans or conservatives want. They want the white male christian power structure to govern all. Just ask Bill O'Reilly!!!

Why do white people think blacks and browns are all on welfare and the ones that benefit from the program? White people and poor whites make up most of the majority welfare recipients. Their are more poor whites than black and brown poor people. How can 13% and 15% of the population ALL be on welfare? Whites are so Ignorant!!!

Liberals lie as usual
2009-10-17 04:38:43 ET

Actually, 76% of all welfare, food stamp and paid rental programs are minorities. This is not disputed by anyone with a brain. Some who don't have a brain might dispute it, but they are just wrong.

Liberals don't care, because with libs, truth has no place in any discussion. Libs are afraid of facts, truth and honesty, because, facts, Truth and honesty ALWAYS hurt Liberals.

Poor Whites: I think you have some of your facts wrong.

Going back to the poll. Would you want to be a "Guy" in a shower with a "Guy" who likes other "Guys"??? I WOULD NOT!

If your gay either shut up or stay out of the Military! Just the thought of their closeness makes me queezy. I thought sodomy was against the law!??

GET A JOB
2009-10-24 02:10:59 ET

"Some" minoriites like to blame their failures on the white man. They don't take responsibility.

THe drop out rate is outrageous. The women having babys that we the tax payers are supporting is outrageous. The men NOT supporting their kids is outrageous. Do they do anything but fornicate? How about working! Thats all deadbeats.

DUH
2009-10-24 02:14:34 ET

OUTFOXED BY LIARS: You have your head so far in a hole your brain is plugged. Such stupidity. But than, Obama' lovers usually are. Mindless people who don't wish to know the truth.

I don't care if you love him or hate him, if your a "real" American you want to know the TRUTH!

Try serving in the Armed Services. You may just wise up. That would be the only help for you..............
