Don't Ask, Don't Tell..Don't Repeal?

"Obama has made choices identical to those that would have been made by the Bush Administration." Jon Turley, a law expert at George Washington University, stated after hearing about Obama's decision to not repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. It certainly is confusing how Obama is acting towards perhaps one of issues he most advocated for in the past. Obama pledged to end the policy, and once the opportunity came he turned it down. Many debate whether it is important or not how a person goes about accomplishing a goal, just as long as it is accomplished. I would say it is important. I would argue that yes, morals and reasoning are very important behind reasoning when it comes to reaching a goal, such as repealing this act. Yet, one must make their reasoning clear. Hopefully, Obama does come to justify himself and bring about clear reasoning rather than more confusion like he has done thus far.

  1. I thought it was a bit of a shock that though Obama pledged to end this policy, he did not when he was presented with the opportunity. Perhaps it was just bad timing? But that doesn't change the fact that this bill discriminates innocent people.
