Mike Keefeis using the "don't ask, don't tell" rule in the military to depict what is going on. By Obama saying "Don't rock the boat", he is pointing out how things haven't changed with the rules because people don't want to deal with the issue at hand. People who are not in support of the change in banning the don't ask don't rule dont want to "rock the boat" and dont see the need to make the change. "We should not be punishing patriotic Americans who have stepped forward to serve the country," Obama said. "We should be celebrating their willingness to step forward and show such courage ... especially when we are fighting two wars."
