Wednesday is when President Obama will end DADT

President Obama will sign off on the repeal of DADT this Wednesday.

President Obama is likely to sign the repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy Wednesday, and may hold a news conference this week, spokesman Robert Gibbs said today.

Officials have discussed a presidential news conference after the Senate wraps up its end-of-the-year business, including the proposed arms cut treaty with Russia -- but no one knows when that might happen.

A news conference is "certainly possible," Gibbs said.

Though the schedule is being finalized, Gibbs said he expects a formal White House signing ceremony Wednesday morning to sign the "don't ask, don't tell" repeal.

"I think there are a lot of people who are interested in attending," Gibbs said.

Oh, and about that. I'm told Joe Solmonese will be there, but Dan Choi wasn't invited. I don't mean no harm, but after some of the carrying on he did at the White House and calling Obama the worst president, he shouldn't be surprised.

UPDATE: Dan's invited
