The sad thing is that Obama does not need the military or the Congress to repeal DADT. He could repeal it by executive order today if he wanted. He said of the repeal of DADT that "It's the right thing to do." If it's the right thing to do, why does he insist on continuing to do the wrong thing?
Even without an Executive Order, as Commander in Chief, he could order the military to stop discharging gays.
He has several options on how to end DA,DT, but so far he has refused to do anything.
