It was nice to see Nancy Pelosi stand up and applaud at least.

"Yes, I have his assurance. I'd much rather have the horse."

I'll believe it when I see it and not a minute before. So many times we have been told 1 thing and either something completely different happens or nothing at all. His track record isn't very promising and I'm not going to get my hopes up. I truly hope it happens but time will tell.

Obama's defense secretary (Gates) applauded when he said he will work to repeal DADT

My partner and I were talking last night and I don't see what the big deal is about DADT. We both disagree with each other...he thinks it's a bad idea to lift it, but I think it's a good idea. I don't see why the non-supporter are making a big deal over it---just lift the damn thing and let's go about our business, the people in the military will eventually get over it.

But I do believe if the government does get rid of it-----then they will need a set of strict rules accomplanying the repeal, and make any punishments of opposition very clear.
