The Gay Thread

Valerie Jarrett vs. Dan Choi on the Obama Administration's hard-ball appeal tactics reversing an injunction against enforcement of Don't Ask Don't Tell.

Wow, outright LIES by Ms. Jarrett. Obama has NEVER said he believes DADT is "unconstitutional," and that's a legal position his Justice department is perfectly able to take in relation to appealing or not appealing the law which they already defended and lost. The "defense" of laws on the books stage is over. She's a liar about everything, and frankly Wolf is a pussy of an interviewer who either knows zip about Justice Dept. appeals or purposefully played softball.

Not only does the President have wide latitude to refuse to appeal when he personally feels a law is unconstitutional, but he also has wide latitude when it comes to laws affecting his authority as commander in chief. The problem is he does NOT think the law is unconstitutional (and has never said those words) and has refused for 2 years now to use any of his powers as commander in chief on this issue.

Lie after lie after lie. What a shameful performance. Nice going, losing a core constituency for your reelection bid in 2 years, Mr. President. Dan Choi's is hardly the only gay vote you've lost. Oh, and I'm sure you've appeased plenty of Republicans and Teabaggers by your homophobic actions. They'll be voting for you in droves now, won't they? Sheesh.

Unless we get whiplash from the way things turn around, I will not be surprised if Obama is a one-termer.

Not that I'm voting for Sarah Palin, mind you. But I am not voting for Obama either. And, frankly, the Dems deserve to be a$$raped in next month's elections.

If it came down to Obama vs Palin - who would you vote for?

Despite not being a fan of Obama at this moment, I'd say I'd vote for him in 2012. To me, it would feel like not voting for him is a vote for Palin.
