Obama to sign repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell'

President Barack Obama has only one public event Wednesday, but it's a historic one.In the morning he travels to the Interior Department to sign the repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. The battle over whether to let gays serve openly in the military has been a hot-button issue. Momentum for repeal picked up when top military brass, who did a survey of personnel, said they could live with it.

Later in the morning, Obama meets in the Oval Office with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (GYT'-nur).
