Obama ignores the military's wishes

The Democratic Party has always been a leader in immorality in its support of gay rights, gay marriage, gambling, and abortion and morally corrupt politicians like Bill Clinton, Teddy Kennedy, John Kennedy, and Barney Franks.

President Obama's latest attempt at immoral Democrat leadership is to weaken the U.S. military by his plan to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law. Obama shows his disdain for the military by ignoring the military's opposition to gays in the military. An October 2008 poll of the Military Officers Association of America showed 52 per cent favored an outright ban of gays in the military, 16 per cent favored the current "Don't Ask, Don't tell law, and only 31 percent were for the repeal of the law.

In January, a formal statement of support for the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law was signed and addressed to the president and members of Congress by 1,164 retired Flag & General Officers for the military, 51 of them of four-star rank, who were greatly concerned about the impact of repeal of the law on morale, discipline, unit cohesion, and overall military readiness.

President Obama continues to follow the Democrat tradition of moral depravity and ignores the military's views.
