DADT

Continued from page 2

attitude change with his Pentagon leadership, the White House released a statement echoing it:

"The president's commitment to repealing "don't ask don't tell" is unequivocal. This is not a question of if, but how. That's why we've said that the implementation of any congressional repeal will be delayed until the DOD study of how best to implement that repeal is completed. The president is committed to getting this done both soon and right."

Asked for clarification, White House spokesperson Shin Inouye refused to go beyond that written statement.

That new posture, combined with the absence of DADT repeal in the budget, added to previous lack of leadership on the matter is infuriating advocates of repeal.

Servicemembers Legal Defense Network director Aubrey Sarvis said, “As a result of the Commander in Chief's decision to defer to Secretary Gates' wishes and timeline, gay service members will continue to be treated as second class citizens, and any sense of fairness may well have been delayed for yet another year, perhaps for another decade."

Referring to the 1948 desegregation of the armed forces, Sarvis said, "Harry Truman led, Barack Obama defers, kicking repeal down the road again."

"We have the votes in the House and we're close to having the votes in the Senate

Armed Services Committee," Sarvis said. "The President, however, is not helping us to get the votes we need."

Sarvis said that servicemembers took Obama at his word when he promised DADT repeal this year, and is calling for the president to speak "clearly and frankly" to Gates and political advisers.

"The president did not sound like a fierce repeal advocate," Sarvis said. "He sounded like someone who wants to have it both ways. And that is not leadership. That is politics as usual.”

Six months to implement changes

Obama is also disappointing House Democrats who want to repeal DADT.

Rep. Patrick Murphy, the Pennsylvania Democrat and Iraq War veteran sponsoring the repeal bill, told the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call that the administration's call for more time doesn't make sense because the bill already gives six months from passage to implementation.

Murphy told Roll Call, "There's plenty of time to figure out the implementation of this."

Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, who is openly gay, also took issue with Obama.

"I think the president made a big mistake allowing that letter to be sent," Frank told Roll Call. "It will give some members an excuse not to vote for it."
