Spending may snag repeal of gay ban?

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said yesterday that President Obama could end up vetoing legislation that would lift the ban on gays serving openly in the military — if the bill also contains money for defense projects he says are wasteful.

Can you imagine the anger and frantic spinning among self-styled "progressives" if Obama vetoes the repeal of "don't ask / don't tell"?

Of course, if Obama needs to look tough and pro-military after the McChrystal mess, he just might do it.
