OK Here’s Bill again with the rage
How’s this for throwing us under the bus

The Lesbian and Gay Victory Fund, a group that funds out gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans candidates regardless of party affiliation, said that so far, sixteen lesbian and gay individuals have received appointments from President Barack Obama.
The fund said many of them applied for their positions through the Gay and Lesbian Leadership Institute’s Presidential Appointments Project.

The appointees are:

* Anthony Bernal – Scheduler, Office of Dr. Jill Biden
* John Berry – Director-Designate, Office of Personnel Management
* Brian Bond – Deputy Director, White House Office of Public Liaison
* Ebs Burnough – Deputy Scheduler, Office of the First Lady
* Michael Camunez – Domestic Policy Cluster Head, Presidential Personnel
* Brook Colangelo – Chief Information Officer, White House Office of Administration
* Brad Kiley – Director, White House Office of Management and Administration
* Fred Hochberg – Director-Designate, U.S. Export-Import Bank
* Karine Jean-Pierre – White House Liaison, U.S. Department of Labour
* David Medina – Deputy Chief of Staff, Office of the First Lady
* Dave Noble – White House Liaison, National Aeronautics and Space Administration
* Mark Perriello – Director of Priority Placement, Presidential Personnel
* Nancy Sutley – White House Council on Environmental Quality
* Moe Vela – Director of Operations, Office of the Vice President
* Kei Koizumi – Assistant Director for Federal Research and Development, Office of Science and Technology Policy
* Alison Nathan – White House Counsels Office

I think the lady doth protest too much. Does the Reasonable Man think an African-American is 2/3rds of a real American, also?

Get off your high horse! Just because Obama has failed us at every single turn, doesn’t mean he will continue to do so. His Justice Department equates LGBT Americans with: Sex Offenders, Felons and Pedophiles. He proactively reinstated DADT – against the orders of a Federal judge. It was a simple mistake, made over and over and over again.

GLBT Americans need to be more patient; 200+ years is not that long.

The new Democratic logo is a turtle on its’ back. Even with holding clear majorities in the Senate and House, they could NOT get a single pro-equality bill passed. Was it fear that Obama might veto it? I can’t wait to see Obama “fix” Social Security!

Come, now! Were we to have Obama in charge of Civil Rights back in the 60′s, African Americans would surely be 2/3s of a real American, by now. Progress is slow when you don’t really want it. Let’s see how quickly Obama guts Social Security.

a[[ears that a religous litmus test is now necessary in order to beconsidered for a government position. Hearsay is permissible for dismissal whereas, unconditional support of all things “christain” is required.

[...] Yes, Iran is still being routinely threatened. Yes, the spectre of Internet censorship is greater than ever before . Yes, the political advancement of homosexual equality has been abandoned. [...]

Someone makes a statement that may be considered anti-Christian and immediately a judgment (no pun intended) is made that he or she has pre-decided future cases, but if the same person had made pro-Christian statements they’re OK to sit for cases? That’s like saying a gay judge can’t sit for cases involving sex but a straight one can. Ridiculous. Clearly they knew he’d never make it through the approval process but it is a litmus test just the same and in violation of the sacred Constitution.

All the drama queens who are ranting about this “grave injustice” apparently failed to read the entire article. Paul Oetken — an openly gay man and outstanding attorney — has since been recommended by Schumer for a seat on the bench in the SDNY. With his credentials, and lack of controversial statements in his past, he will no doubt sail through the confirmation process. Give it a rest.

@ Pogovio – You can read, right? The article CLEARLY STATES that “The White House has rejected the recommended nomination.” Could it be more clear? Do you work for the WH PR Office? Why are you giving our “fearless leader” aid and comfort? We are getting screwed by a liar and a hypocrite. Call it for what it is and move on. There is NO DIFFERENCE between what we got form Bush and what were getting from Obama.
