Washington (CNN)
-- A federal appeals court temporarily has reinstated the "don't ask,
don't tell" policy that bans gays and lesbians from serving in the
military, but banned the services from investigating or discharging
anyone under the rule.
The 9th U.S. Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals
in California issued the order late Friday after the Obama
administration asked it to reconsider its recent order temporarily
blocking the policy.
U.S. officials have been moving ahead with
dismantling "don't' ask, don't tell" but had objected to having the
courts force the government to officially repeal it at this time.

QUESTION: Does it appear that more frequently, of late, Mr Obama is "back tracking" on his promises, pledges?
It wasn't too long ago that the Gay Media was touting the largely
attended dinner with the President by prominent and large bank-account
members of the so-called "Gay Community" at which time Mr Obama
reportedly promised them everything, short of the Pope leading the
NYCityGay Parade in June.
What is/has happened? "Read my lips: No more lies". . . . ooopsss that was from a darker era . . .wasn't it GWBush?
