In fact, on Fox News Sunday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he and President Barack Obama had “a lot on our plates right now,” so he’ll need to “push (don’t ask, don’t tell military policy on gays) down the road a bit.”
Several things to note.
First, Gates says he’s speaking for Obama, not just himself.
Second, the two comments, about lack of time and pushing things down the road, on something that isn’t hard to do, make clear that Obama’s breaking another campaign promise.
Third, Fox vs. a more mainstream network? Is Obama pandering to social conservatives? Indicating how unimportant this issue is to him? Not sure of the message here.
