Robert Gibbs Gets Defensive On “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”

» 2 comments


The Obama administration may be following due process for repealing the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy,” but that doesn’t mean it’s happened yet. And for Congressman Barney Frank, an openly gay politician, the White House hasn’t been clear enough in their time line for the repeal…or if it even plans to take legislative action at all. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs gets a little bit snippy as he answers The Advocate‘s senior White House correspondent, Kerry Eleveld‘s questions about the president “ducking” this (possibly) historic precedent of allowing openly gay members into the armed forces.
