Obama has 8 days left in his "weeks, not months" promise on DADT certification
Metro Weekly: A follow-up. In line with that, the administration is also still in court defending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." When is -- Tomorrow, also will be three weeks since the President said that certification will come in "weeks, not months." Has the President spoken with Secretary Panetta or Adm. Mullen about the certification since he made that statement, and where does it stand?

Carney: I don't know if the President has had those conversations either with Secretary Panetta or his predecessor or Adm. Mullen. What the president said remains the case and our expectation, but I don't have any more information for you on that. ...

1. Wrong. He has more than 8 days.

Obama did NOT say one month. Obama said: "... weeks, not months ..."

Anything UNDER two months is considered to be 'weeks'.

Example: Seven weeks is NOT months. Seven weeks is 'one month and three weeks'.

I was already in contact with the gay.americanblog earlier today on their misrepresentation of what President Obama actually said.

In order to call what Obama said a broken promise, two months time would have to have passed.
