Fresh off of California’s Supreme Court ruling on Prop 8 upholding the constitutionality of the amendment, the White House seems to be stalling or not moving on “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked twice during Thursday’s press briefing about the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Both times, he reverted to his standard talking points on the subject.

When would the White House push Congress to repeal the policy, asked on reporter?

Gibbs reiterated the president’s support for repeal, then added, “He does not think the policy is working in the national interests and is working with the Joint Chiefs, the Pentagon, and others to bring about a change in that policy.”

Another reporter noted that although Gibbs keeps saying the president is working for repeal, he had been told by staffers for the chair of the subcommittee (probably the military personnel subcommittee) that the House repeal bill isn’t likely to come up for a vote until next year.

“Sometimes the legislative process doesn’t move that quickly,” Gibbs responded.

In other words this isn’t an issue we’re going to press right now, if ever, due to the fact the we’re busy stealing from future generations and taking over private business — our soft socialist agenda in more important than you!

I’m not sure why gays are putting so much stock in Obama and expecting that he’ll champion their cause? He doesn’t hold their views on gay marriage and if I’m reading the President right, and I’m batting around 800 so far, the DADT campaign promise was all politics with little or no actual fire about the issue. Sure his administration might vist the topic but I doubt it goes much further than that!
