Obama heckled again over 'don't ask, don't tell'

A gay rights activist heckled President Obama at a San Francisco fundraiser Tuesday night, urging Obama to "move faster" on a proposed repeal of "don't ask, don't tell."
Kip Williams, co-founder of the activist group GetEqual, interrupted as Obama was delivering a fundraising speech for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). The president paused to lecture the man as other Democratic supporters booed the heckler.
"I hate to say this, but ... if he wants to demonstrate, buy a ticket to a guy who doesn't support his point of view, and then you can yell as much as you want there," Obama said. Williams' group interrupted another Obama speech earlier this year, in Los Angeles.
Obama told Williams to "read the newspapers." "He said do it faster," the president said. "It's like, come on, man, I'm dealing with Congress here. It takes a little bit of time."

 A vote in Congress to roll back the policy, which bans gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military, is expected as soon as Thursday. Although the White House has expressed support for the repeal, several gay rights groups, including GetEqual, say Obama has not been outspoken enough. With Republicans largely united against a repeal, Democrats are struggling for repeal votes. In the Senate, Democrats first need at least 15 votes on the Armed Services Committee, but they are having a tough time holding their caucus together. On Tuesday, Virginia Democrat Jim Webb came out against the current repeal effort. Now all eyes are on three potential Democratic swing votes: Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Evan Bayh of Indiana and Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Nelson, who had previously said he'd rather see the results of a Pentagon study on the effects of a rollback before giving an up or down vote, said he would announce Wednesday how he intended to vote (SEE UPDATE BELOW).
On the House side, the state of play is even more unclear. Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy of Pennsylvania is expected to propose the repeal as an amendment to a Defense Department budget bill due before the House Thursday. But Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she won't allow the vote unless it will pass. According to The Hill newspaper, Democrats have yet to gauge where their caucus stands on Murphy's amendment.
With House Republicans largely united against the bill and conservative Democrats on the fence, supporters might not have the votes they need.
