Obama official regrets advice to gay student in Concord
AP ^ | September 30, 2009

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is defending an Education Department official over advice he gave a gay student about sex 21 years ago.

The official, Kevin Jennings, says he should have handled the situation differently.

Jennings was teaching high school in Concord, Mass., in 1988 when a sophomore boy confessed an involvement with an older man in Boston. He told the boy, "I hope you knew to use a condom."

The BO administration is the modern version of Sodom and Gomorrah. There will be a time of judgment.

The official, Kevin Jennings, says he should have handled the situation differently.

Yeah, that's basically what Cardinal Bernard Law said, about all the quiet transfers he arranged for priests he knew were molesting children, so they could have a fresh set of unsuspecting victims. And next thing you know, he had a cushy new job at the Vatican and was participating in the ceremony to install the new Pope.

Jennings and Law should be sharing a prison cell.

Knowing about a crime and not reporting it is also a crime.

Oh he regrets it well then that is all that matters. /s

BTW when I read this guy’s comments, it sounded like he is totally self obsessed. His point was that this other guy was having sex someone underaged, but who was he to criticize because he was a closeted homosexual so he announced his homosexuality to the world and began a campaign for gay rights. As if there is a logical connection.

Self obsessed sex obsessed me me me.

Yes, but after 21 years, I doubt that the statute of limitations hasn’t expired. Even if it could be prosecuted, what Massachusetts prosecutor will touch an Obama administration official?

Sounds like: please tell me all about it.

Is it just possible that many gays find underage boys/young men attractive and have decided the statutory rape laws don’t really apply to gay sex.

“What’s next? Bank robbers, drug dealers and murderers?”

Well Obama admitted to using did he admit to selling some drugs? Does taking over the banks count as “bank robbing?” Many on here would consider the abortionists to be supporting murder. Or maybe rules of engagement that get our troops killed.

It would be interesting to see if there are any recordings or writings of his that reveal his position on Cardinal Law’s handling of that type of situation. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he had condemned Law and said he should resign and be sent to prison. It would be helpful if we could throw that back in his face. It might be enough to send him down in flames.

Merriam-Webster (which Obama doesn't like) defines regret as "the emotion arising from a wish that some matter or situation could be different from what it is". I read Jennings' regret as "I wish those damn conservatives would stop hating me! Waaaaa." This is a non-apology, a liberal hallmark.

True, the definition does mention remorse that "may arise from something done or said or from some failure to do or say something", but what would that be? Failure to alert the child's parents, the school or the police? Or failure to have left the sickening story out of his narcissistic little book?

A current Education Department official and ex-teacher named Kevin Jennings did so 21 years ago.

He regretted saying that he hoped the boy used a condom, what he meant to say was that he hoped the older man used a condom, because obviously the young boy was on the receiving end.

Notice this is similar to the ACORN answers to the undercover pimp and prostitute that overlooked and even condoned child prostitution and sexual exploitation of children. I guess it's "CYA" time for liberals.
