Obama To Nominate Gay Civilian For Army Secretary
2015-09-18
Fabulous!
President Obama, in a historic first for the Pentagon, has chosen to nominate Eric Fanning to lead the Army, a move that would make him the first openly gay civilian secretary of one of the military services.

Fanning's nomination is the latest in a series of actions taken by the administration to advance the rights of gays and lesbians throughout the federal government. The Obama administration has overhauled internal policies to provide benefits to same-sex partners, appointed gay men and lesbians to the executive branch and the federal bench and ended the 18-year ban on gays serving openly in the military.

It's like he's doing it on purpose...

#8  If he has no experience on the ground and outside of an office, he has no competency. Mr. Trumps cadet experience at a military school becomes more impressive (not much at all, but more than the nominated SoA).

Never forget who was SoD when the troops in Somalia were denied armor in their deployment.

#7  If he is competent, I don't care about his sexuality. If he is incompetent, I still don't care about his sexuality.

#4  Fanning is openly gay. The MSM acts like that is his most important qualification for the job.

#2  Interesting, BU.

But since blaq people aren't, to a large extent, paticularly fond of gayz, are they then the "opposition" that O'Bummer is trying to provoke?

#1  Rules for Radicals, #10:

“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
"The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition." It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
