Ah, what will my daughter say now
November 19, 2008
WASHINGTON (CNN) – The lead sponsor of a bill to overturn the controversial Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell law said the law could conceivably be passed in the first year of President-elect Obama’s administration.
President-elect Barack Obama has pledged to lift the ban on gays serving openly in the U.S. military.
A transition office spokesman refused to comment for this story but two months ago, Obama signaled he would move cautiously, telling the Philadelphia Gay News newspaper he would first get the military on board:
Of course I think this is good news but I have to say that it will make my life a little less funny. My daughter is 18 and gets bugged by recruiters all the time. Her standard answer is, “You don’t want me. You aren’t asking but I am telling.” The responses from recruiters run from stuttering and then hanging up to saying they don’t care and then refusing to put that in writing. We might have to come up with something else for her to say if this passes and I can’t imagine it will be as entertaining.
