During his
presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to repeal the policy
of Don't Ask Don't Tell, which bars gays from serving openly in the
military. But as Shikha Dalmia writes, Obama now appears to be
back-pedaling his way to political safety. Most notably, Obama
recently did nothing—not so much as utter a whisper of protest—when
West Point grad Dan Choi, an Iraq veteran and an Arab linguist, was
fired for revealing that he was gay.
