Obama on “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

Barack Obama plans on ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” - the policy keeping the military from asking recruits their sexual orientation. But, he says he’ll need some help, “My first obligation as the president is to make sure that I keep the American people safe and that our military is functioning effectively… Although I have consistently said I would repeal ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ I believe that the way to do it is make sure that we are working through a process, getting the Joint Chiefs of Staff clear in terms of what our priorities are going to be.”

He said that wouldn’t be accomplished by attaching a signing statement to a military spending bill, a process that President Bush has used to set other military policies.
