As the Senate voted Saturday to end “don’t ask, don’t tell,” Obama praised members for “ending a policy that undermines our national security while violating the very ideals that our brave men and women in uniform risk their lives to defend.”
Obama said:
It is time to recognize that sacrifice, valor and integrity are no more defined by sexual orientation than they are by race or gender, religion or creed. It is time to allow gay and lesbian Americans to serve their country openly. Source
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT

Breaking News Alert: Obama signs repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’
December 22, 2010 9:38:39 AM
—————————————-
President Obama signed legislation on Wednesday that repeals the 17-year-old law preventing homosexuals from serving openly in the U.S. military.
The bill requires military officials to complete implementation plans before lifting the old policy, a process that could take months.

POTUS is giving props to Nancy Pelosi, Stenny Hoyer, and Harry Reid.
……And Joe Liberman, Susan Collins, Carl Levin… They held their shoulders to the wheel in the Senate. Especially our military.
There! The law has been REPEALED. Now runtelldat!
YES
The President and Vice President are together.
Admiral Mullen & Secretary of Defense Gates should are being commended. I wonder if SoS Clinton is there.
I wonder how Bill feels about the legislation he signed into law being repealed?
LOL! Honey, we haven’t seen anything yet. The Rethugs are salivating, and will start trying to undo everything that this administration has accomplished. Bank it. They will try.
LOL No DRAMA OBAMA, he didn’t address any of the whiney, titty babies.. LOVES my POTUS! TCB & leaves teh stage.
Ain’t nobody worried about the whiny ass clowns wanting to seek attention.
And please note that POTUS said all that transpired today was due to a plan laid out years ago.
How you gonna just stroll on up in the WH and say stop DADT after its been in practice for 17 freaking years?
