... and it's hard to argue with him!
Like 2009's removal of the HIV ban, which was as painstakingly slow but thereby much more entrenched, this process took time. Without the Pentagon study, it wouldn't have passed. Without Obama keeping Lieberman inside the tent, it wouldn't have passed. Without the critical relationship between Bob Gates and Obama, it wouldn't have passed. It worked our last nerve; we faced at one point a true nightmare of nothing ... for years. And then we pulled behind this president, making it his victory and the country's victory, as well as ours.
It's a great day of celebration for the passage of this repeal and let us not also forget the contribution of Senators Lieberman and Collins. 65-31 sure does feel good!

Now how long will it take the pentagon to implement the repeal? Also, will we see an increase in enlistments after it is officially repealed?
