I tweeted this a few minutes ago:
On Hardball, Eugene Robinson said he heard this morning from somebody in WH that #DADT repeal probably wouldn't be this year.Robinson and NBC White House Correspondent Savannah Guthrie were talking about the President's commitment to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell with Chris Matthews. As to whether or not it's really going to happen, Guthrie said: "The proof will be in the pudding. Is this something they try to move forward with with all deliberate speed. Are they going to slow walk it? So, I think in the coming days and weeks we'll know how serious they are about it." That's exactly right. We'll know soon.
Then, Robinson added, "What I heard this morning from somebody at the White House was probably not this year. But, maybe we would be hearing from military brass at some point."
Thanks to Taylor Marsh for the heads up.
NOTE FROM JOHN: So someone in the White House tried to back away from the President's promise 12 hours after it was made. The President said this year. It was in this year's State of the Union, which isn't about things we're doing next year. This is very disturbing, and really not helpful.
