Obama calls to repeal "Don't ask, don't tell", McCain says don't do it [video]
POLITICS
During Wednesday night's State of the Union address, Barack Obama called on Congress to repeal the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
Those remarks garnered an applause from Obama's Republican Defense Secretary Robert Gates, but others weren't so kind.
While his wife may be supporting gay rights, Obama's most recent opposition John McCain wants to make it clear that he doesn't support the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Here's what Senator McCain had to say:
"In his State of the Union address, President Obama asked Congress to repeal the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. I am immensely proud of, and thankful for, every American who wears the uniform of our country, especially at a time of war, and I believe it would be a mistake to repeal the policy.
"This successful policy has been in effect for over fifteen years, and it is well understood and predominantly supported by our military at all levels. We have the best trained, best equipped, and most professional force in the history of our country, and the men and women in uniform are performing heroically in two wars. At a time when our Armed Forces are fighting and sacrificing on the battlefield, now is not the time to abandon the policy."
Could you be more of a douche-bag?
