Candidate Barack Obama, November 29, 2007: “America is ready to get rid of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. All that is required is leadership.”
Candidate Obama, April 7, 2008: “I reasonably can see ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ eliminated.”
Robert Gibbs, January 14, 2009: “There are many challenges facing our nation now and the president-elect is focused first and foremost on jump-starting this economy. So not everything will get done in the beginning but he’s committed to following through.”
President Obama, May 5: “I intend to fulfill my commitment!”
President Obama, Saturday: “I will end ‘don’t ask-don’t tell’… Do not doubt the direction we are heading and the destination we will reach.”
I always wanted to know what am I supposed to not be asking about? I suspect it has something to do with where I like to stick my willie. I will be happy to tell you, if you are interested in asking.
@Bruno: I never quite understood what Clinton was talking about or the no poofters rule.

Jesus throws his cross at the TV whenever his show comes on.
@FlyingChainSaw: What’s long and full of seamen . . .and now female sailors?
Babes in the Bubble — It’s Gonna Happen
Breaking with a tradition that spans more than half a century, the Navy is in the final planning stages to integrate female Sailors into its submarine fleet.
@Bruno: I’m all ears.
@redmanlaw: Great. Now we can look forward to Navy thriller movies in which the captain can shout the command, “All hands! Rig for silent fucking!”
