Obama re DADT: Actions Speak Louder Than Words

January 27, 2010 at 7:42 PM Leave a comment

Word is that Obama will ask for an end to “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” tonight.

I’m going to wait and see what he says but I fear that another call to end DADT — which he called for during the campaign but which he hasn’t pushed since  — will ring hollow and be patronizing and condescending.  What he needs to do is say that he has,

signed an Executive Order banning further military separations based on DADT…

That would be the action we want to see, as opposed to yet more lofty rhetoric.

That would be change we can believe in.
