His speech focused on health care reform, the bank bailout, creating new jobs, a government spending freeze, economic growth, Iraq, environmental policy, education affordability, earmark reform and "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". Before the address on Wednesday, White House sources revealed that the President would renew his pledge to repeal the law which mandates the discharge of openly gay, lesbian or bisexual service members. During his speech President Obama said, "This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are."
