Tim Kaine: Military's gay policy ''needs change'' but we're kinda busy

''And then finally, on "don't ask, don't tell" the president has said, and I share this, this is a policy that needs to change. It is a policy that was enacted by Congress, and so working with Congress to find a way to change it is something he's committed to doing with Secretary Gates.... [President Obama has] only been in for three-plus months. He's had a little bit to deal with.... This is a very important priority, but it is something that's going to need Congressional support so he's working with the military leaders on this.''

Tim Kaine, Democratic Governor of Virginia and current head of the Democratic National Committee, appearing on NBC's ''Meet the Press,'' and appearing to say that President Obama intends to repeal or revise the ban on gays in the military when he can get to it.(NBC)
