Something almost concrete worth applauding from Obama, but no details on 
when the planned change will actually come into effect ...

<quotes>

US President Barack Obama has said he will end the ban on gay people serving 
openly in the military.

He said he would repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that allows gay 
people to serve in the military if they do not reveal their sexual 
orientation.

On the military issue he said the US could not afford to lose those people 
who had much needed skills for fighting.

"We should not be punishing patriotic Americans who have stepped forward to 
serve the country," Mr Obama said.

"We should be celebrating their willingness to step forward and show such 
courage."

No surprise, a gaywad like you wanting sausage slingers in the armed forces.
Fuckin Euroweeneies, wanting deviant sexual perversions enshrined in 
government policy, is there any indecency left for you to cheer for ?

Obongo faces a tough sell on this one, he can't exactly ignore the will 
of the top brass in the military, the pentagon,most republicans and the 
majority of citizens - Only to please a small sect of leftist radicals.

So he appeases with soft words - And as you, and the other gay radicals 
make perfectly clear, words are not enough !
