I've been following it as well; I think the "administration" remained quiet because they saw the political fallout from "openly" supporting the repeal. By allowing a judge to make the call they get to keep their hands relatively clean...then by making an "appeal" they can both appease the military and their fan base...all the while knowing that the ruling would remain intact.
Personally, I have no issues with gays serving...I thought DADT was an acceptable "compromise" since it was enacted during Clinton's administration.
