Obama Press
Secretary Pledges Repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

Press secretary Robert Gibbs has given the clearest indication yet that President-elect Barack Obama intends to repeal "don't ask, don't tell."

Press secretary Robert Gibbs has given the clearest indication yet that President-elect Barack Obama intends to repeal "don't ask, don't tell."

In a video on the campaign's transition website, Gibbs answers a question posed by a constituent about whether the Obama administration will scrap the ban on gays serving openly in military with a single word: "Yes."

More specifically, about 4:20 into the 5-minute video, Gibbs repeats the question, "Thaddeus from Lansing, Mich., asks, 'Is the new administration going to get rid of the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy?'"

Then Gibbs responds, "Thaddeus, you don't hear a politician give a one-word answer much, but it's 'yes.'" (Kerry Eleveld, Advocate.com).
