"Absolutely. And I think it's the most profound decision that I have made since I've been president."

"I want to make sure that it's changed in a way that ultimately works well for our military and for the outstanding gay and lesbian soldiers that are both currently enlisted or would like to enlist."

"I'd like to see it done sooner rather than later."

"I think it's important that the way we think about it and the way it's taught is not one in which there's simply a victim and a victimizer and that's the end of the story."
