This must be the "hope" part

DADT Repeal: Obama Vows To End DADT, While Seeking Stay Of Repeal Ruling

WASHINGTON — After two days of silence, the Obama administration urged a federal judge on Thursday to let the military press on with its "don't ask, don't tell" ban on gays serving openly in the military. Still, President Barack Obama insisted the policy that has divided the nation for two decades "will end on my watch."

Look, as it turns out I am actually conflicted on this matter but I'm not president. If you're president you have to play the friggin' ball. One way or the other. None of this "yes, but no."

(And history is on the side of gays serving openly here. There's no way around that.)
