I think it' a great sign that Obama is not just standing there and nodding, giving us some spin, that he is actually listening and willing to do what he says and take immediate action to review issue that are brought to him. Granted it looks like Gates is to be credited as well, he's been wanting to review this for over a year, but perhaps was just now given presidential permission to do so shortly after a reporter asked the President his stance on it.

and President Obama was listening. That man doesn't miss a beat, does he?

People might not appreciate that he didn't just give a straight yes or no answer, but I was happy to hear our President say he was going to review the issue and then give his answer. It means he's willing to hear both sides of an argument, get all the facts and THEN make a decision.

who said he "punted" this question but I knew he couldn't be difinitive at the time.

He's done so much already and seems to have so much more piled on his desk.

We chose wisely with electing this President.
