Yep, here we go. With poll numbers across the board supporting repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, the Obama administration, through Bush holdover Defense Secretary Robert Gates, say they will still go slow on things and has appropriated funds in the FY10 budget to continue booting openly gay and lesbian service members from the military.  (via Raw Story/PageOneQ):
