What a surprise. /sarc
WASHINGTON (AP) — Don't expect any change soon to the "don't ask, don't tell" policy about gays in the military.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates says both he and President Barack Obama have "a lot on our plates right now." As Gates puts it, "let's push that one down the road a little bit."
The White House has said Obama has begun consulting with Gates and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on how to lift the ban. Gates says that dialogue has not really progressed very far at this point in the administration.
Just keep kicking the can down the road, Obama. Not surprising though when you have someone like Gates as Secretary of Defense. Funny how he criticizes the Republicans for saying he can't walk and chew gum at the same time, yet then says "there's too much to do right now" to simply overturn a policy.
