President Obama told a small group of liberal bloggers Wednesday that he has a strategy for ending "Don't ask, don't tell" during the lame-duck session.

Obama declined to divulge his plans for ending the controversial law through Congress, and he pushed back on criticism from liberals that he has not done enough to end it.

Obama said he spoke to the Log Cabin Republicans on Tuesday, urging them to go to the Senate and "get me those votes."
