This is typical Obama BS. He has been in office over a year. He could have directed Gates to administratively end DADT on Day One of his Administration. Yes, it is in the law. Obama does nothing. Then a particularly noxious brief is filed by his DOJ in a DOMA case (Smelt v. US), and Obama makes a few promises to do something about DOMA and DADT. He quickly ditches the DOMA part. Eventually, the DADT part actually gets taken up by Congress, and the Administration scrambles to come up with some make-believe alternative, Gates’ yearlong study. This is not enough. It looks too much like delaying tactic it is meant to be. Kick it down the road. People will forget about it or a new more Republican Congress will render it moot. So now we get this add-on, not an administrative overturning, not a moratorium, but a sort of kind of slow down maybe. Pathetic.
