Obama made a deal with Sec Defense Gates to stay on as the only Bush holdover to go slow on DADT.Gates said in Jan 2009 DADT would be repealed but in a timely manner.And guess what that is exactly what they are doing.It’s going to happen chickenhawks but Gates and Obama are gonna do all the details right.

The entertainment establishment is going to make sure Jon Stewart’s phony rally in DC to “Restore Sanity” is a success. An internal email reveals that MTV is pressuring its employees to attend the Stewart rally.

Here’s a portion of the email:

Whether you lean left or right, hail from a blue state or red, prefer keeping sanity, fear, or a healthy dose of both alive and well, the one thing we all have in common is that we’ve pledged allegiance to the MTV Networks flag. And when an opportunity arises to support one (or two) of our own. we’ll take it pretty much every time.

You may have heard that Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are hosting a little get together on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Saturday, October 30th. … This will be a day when — no matter what transpires from Jon, Stephen, and their special guests — our brothers and sisters at Comedy Central will own the cultural conversation, without question. Who would want to miss that one?

On the morning of October 30th, we’re loading up a fleet of buses here at 1515 Broadway and sending as many of you as we can down to DC for a free one-day, round-trip journey to join in the Rally to Restore Sanity and March to Keep Fear Alive. It’s about a 5 ½ hour trip down 95 to our nation’s capital[.]

So, did they spend the rest of the meeting, asking if he thinks Gaga is cool? I have to assume this was the only ” tough” one he faced.

Hey President Obama, Jay -Z and POOP Daddy said I have to Vote or Die, should I vote, or,,, you know, Die?

A timely manner?? How long has this guy been president? He found plenty of time to pull the troops out of Iraq. Ending DADT is that big of a logistical nightmare? Whats the new policy going to be? You Can Ask and I Can Tell? That dosen’t sound so difficult. I think Obama is trying to swing both ways here on the eve of elections. My guess is he is finds gays just as disgusting as Paladino does. Unlike Paladino, he is a politician and knows better than to say what he really believes.

White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett issued a public apology Thursday for off-handed comments she made earlier in the week that many in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) community took offense to. In an interview Wednesday with the Washington Post, Jarrett referred to homosexuality as a “lifestyle choice.”

“I meant no disrespect to the LGBT community, and I apologize to any who have taken offense at my poor choice of words,” Jarrett said in a written statement.

rshaw you got sleeping quarters,military hospital insurance for gay partners of soldiers,what gay marriage will do,getting the straight soldiers OK with the new program,how rank will be affected. I know Gates has to do what the new president wants but he has to keep the huge military operation as a ready and effective fighting force.As your Commander in Chief said it is only a question of when not if.

Nothing like taking both sides of an issue. This ranks up there Obama promising tax breaks for the middle class and then doing nothing to prevent the biggest tax increase in history coming on January 1. Or his promise to put the healthcare hearings on C-SPAN, then crafting the whole bill in total secrecy. Or promising no more earmarks. Or promising to create jobs. Or promising an end to racially-driven politics. Etc. etc.

Also please note how pussy chickenhawk Glenn Beck as not commented on DADT.I’m sure he is for the repeal but that would anger most of his braindead fans and make Beck look like a homo lover.And he as someone who is pro-war but never served would look even more phony than he is.

So in your opinion, Beck is doing the exact same thing as Obama?

“Obama responded by reiterating that he “is against DADT” and additionally that this is not a policy that he can simply end with the stroke of a pen. Which is actually sort of a gray area. Obama obviously can’t repeal a law that Congress has passed, however he could write an executive order saying it can’t be enforced. ”

Gray area? Sounds more like a BS/pass the buck area.

“Either way, there is a certain irony in Obama coming out so strongly against DADT when at the same time his Justice Department is asking the judge to let DADT continue while they appeal yesterday’s ruling.”

Same BS we heard for three years now. His actions speak louder than his empty words.

Did anyone ask about DOMA?

“The Obama administration decided on Tuesday to appeal a judge’s rulings that prevented the U.S. government from banning same-sex marriages.”

Timzank you are as dumb as you look.Obama campaigned and openly advocated the repeal of DADT and made speeches confirming that fact.Beck is a fucking pussy chickenhawk that is too afraid to openly take a position.Did I answer your question?

Hey, Obama. Thanks for doing that thing you said you were going to do, but not actually do it, but do it in a slow manner anyways when you said it could be done quickly, even though you never said that, and… and… and… I don’t even know whose side I’m on anymore.

I watched this, and I must say that both the questions and answers were very good. The audience was also a reflection of my generation; we’re very diverse and educated. I hope that this program proved to any denial adult viewers that young people are informed, if not more, on today’s issues. I would have like for the Republican girl to go into more detail why she didn’t like the Health Care bill and why she thought the process was not bipartisan.

He just doesnt get it.

last night at the MTV event Obama was asked whether being gay was a choice. Here is his incredibly weak response which completely ignores reality.

“I am not obviously — I don’t profess to be an expert. This is a layperson’s opinion. But I don’t think it’s a choice. I think people are born with a certain makeup, and we’re all children of God. We don’t make determinations about who we love. And that’s why I think that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is wrong.

He doesn’t think it’s a choice. This is troubling. Maybe other people think other things, and that’s okay.

The answer is no. Being gay is not a choice. There is scientific consensus on these points. There’s a problem with his implication people can still have differing opinions on this. This is not a fierce answer; it’s an answer that panders to people who “think” (believe) something different.

Can anybody really belive anything this President says anymore.

To quote his own words….”Just Words…Just Words” Oh wait, he lifted those words from Gov Patrick!

Just saying…..

I don’t think Obama’s crew expected the depth of the questions he got. I was a bit surprised myself. The questions for the most part were intelligent and probing. The media could learn from those kids.

Speaking of DADT – maybe someone could tell me where I’m off base here, but isn’t he the Commandder in Chief of the Armed Forces? Is DADT policy or law? If it’s policy he can issue an order reversing it any time he wants, can’t he? Or does it have to go through Congress?

The same people who USE the symbolism of the Ground Zero Mosque to purport their “tolerance” for muslims, are the same people who Condemn the symbolism of the Confederate Flag in representing the Pride of Southern Culture!

Just more Liberal BIGOTRY & HYPOCRISY! – Playing the ‘Muslim’ card in order to cloak their ubiquitous Anti-Christian Hate-Mongering!!

70% vs. 30% for the morality and honesty of each issue? – BRING IT ON!!!!!!

the President been in office 20 months. He has started the exit in Iraq, the phase out of Afghanistan. H e passed HCR which GATES and BUFFETT said was necessary to help american businesses be competitive and to create jobs. The billions of dollars being put into Community Health Centers across the country. He did all this with a hostile environment. The Global Opportunity Partnership (republicans, US chamber of commerce and international businesses)set out to make the president fail and at thesame time build a hateful, meanspirited opposition PARTY to make fools of themselves and harm the country. He is dealing with a US CHAMBER that are traitors americ an democracy. The US CHAMBER and its partners want to ravage the american economy. This president was great yesterday. He showed calm in the midst of the storm and he is methodical in doing things right, so the repugs can’t just come in an undo things easily. It took them 50 y ears to take on Medicare and they are looking at privatizing SS for the next generations. Our country is in imminent danger and the US elections look like a real downward trend for our democracy..
