DADT will be repealed soon - yes or no?

[Stinky The Clown]

The first question the tinkers will ask me is probably "define soon"

I will answer that: within 3 months.

Next question: if you answer the first question with "no", then when?

1. Even if you defined soon as 2013, I'd still say no...n/t

2. Somewhere between November and January. nt

3. It won't be repealed in 3 months

At best about 5, maybe 6. If the senate doesn't get off it's butt, it could be never.

4. No- I don't know when

I thought it would be right away after Obama took office. He could make an executive order and then our congress would jump right to it and make right this offensive inequality. I have no idea when it will change and I am no longer counting on it. Their "study" will probably take years or at least until after we lose control in Washington.

5. Probably not in 3 mos but I would guess in late 2010 or early 2011 yes. NT

6. I can only HOPE

but you know how hope can be. :D

7. I honestly don't know.

When it comes to lgbtiq equality this admin
Seems very ambivalent.

8. No. The proposal already has an escape clause.

Contingent language is added to promises to be used.

Frankly, this whole promise now, but deliver after the election seems like a cynical attempt to get the gayTM open and to get liberals to the polls.

9. Polls, but otherwise agree, and I'm furious about it. n/t

[Lucky 13]

10. N-O-P-E

When will it happen? I don't know. I'll believe it when I see it, I guess.

11. Two things that should be done this week!

And could be done by presidential order are 1) Close Guantanamo and 2) End DADT. Will it be done this week. No! But what a boost it would be for our country and our confidence in our President if he just did those two things.

12. I won't be holding my breath.
