I coulda fuckin told them that. Sharks know how to CYA, so either Rahm didn’t do it, or there wouldn’t be evidence of him doing it. Either way, he’d be in the clear.

Gay man backed for Navy secretary →

Some top retired military leaders and some Democrats in Congress are backing William White, chief operating officer of the Intrepid Museum Foundation, to be the next secretary of the Navy - a move that would put the first openly gay person at the top of one of the services.
The secretary’s job is a civilian position, so it would not run afoul of the ban on gays...

THIS IS NOT NEW NEWS.
Obama said in his book that he’s against Gay Marriage, and that it comes from a place of, “Faith.”
Look, everyone was all obamafied before, and then prop 8 passes and he’s a part of “The Man?”
No. Obama never lied about his stance of gay marriage, and frankly it’s not a big deal at this point. Why am I not worried...

PETER SLEVIN, WASHINGTON POST: I have a question about pastor Rick Warren. He holds a number of social views at odds with your own views and your strong supporters. I’m wondering what went into your decision to choose him for this prominent role as you embark on your own presidency at a time when you are dotting every...

When and Why I First Supported Barack Obama

vondelpark:
This whole Rick Warren kerfuffle has reminded me of the time I first decided that Obama was the type of politician I could support. It was an episode of Meet the Press—late 2006 or so, but I’m not exactly sure—featuring Obama and Warren (and, I think, Newsweek’s Jon Meacham). They were there to talk about an AIDS initiative in Africa they were both working on. Tim...

notthatkindagay:
Keep your eyes on the prize, boys. Obama’s campaign to unify the country — which last I checked includes millions of Warren’s fellow travelers — is in the service of an administration whose stated policy positions are the most supportive ever on LGBT civil rights. Winning over support for a pro-gay president from anti-gay leaders isn’t just defensible,...

Fucking doesn’t prove any fucking thing if he did. UNLESS MONEY EXCHANGED HANDS Rahm is relatively clean. Why can’t the news sites STFU until they have, I don’t know, an ACTUAL story? I want those two minutes of my life back.

Yeah, it might be hard for him to push through, but not immpossible. He has Rahm Emmanuel to do his pushing. He could probably get the right to marry a goat through Congress.

I saw this and thought “yeah, and?” But look at the column on the left hand side that shows the ages of the cabinet members. A bunch of them are in their 40s and 50s… nothing wrong with the older ones, as experience is an awesome thing to have, but I love that he doesn’t think he’s an isolated case of bright and relatively youngh.
