WASHINGTON (AFP) – The White House on Friday named Jeremy Bernard to serve as social secretary to President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama, the first male and first openly gay person to hold the position.

The high profile job, traditionally filled by a woman, will put Bernard in ultimate charge of dispensing sumptuous White House hospitality at events from state dinners to holiday parties, concerts and tours of the presidential mansion.

"Jeremy shares our vision for the White House as the People's House, one that celebrates our history and culture in dynamic and inclusive ways," Obama said in a statement.

"We look forward to Jeremy continuing to showcase America's arts and culture to our nation and the world through the many events at the White House," Obama said.

Bernard, a long-time Obama supporter and fundraiser, has been serving as special advisor to the US ambassador to France at the US embassy in Paris.

...

"I have long admired the arts and education programs that have become hallmarks of the Obama White House and I am eager to continue these efforts in the years ahead."

A Texan, Bernard has been a prominent campaigner, fundraiser and administrator for national arts and education interests and also key lesbian and gay political causes.

It typically means they won’t shut the hell up about it and put the word ‘gay’ in front of whatever it is that they do for a living, in their spare time, etc.
‘Gay’ always comes first no matter what since it’s all they can think about. Mental illness in all it’s glory.. It’s all about how they misuse their private parts.

It’s becoming more obvious that he’s much more comfortable around people “like him”.
We’ve got another poser couple in the White House now, just like we had with Bubba and Thunder Thighs.
Soetero is a homo, and he isn’t even trying to hide it.

It’s actually very amazing how fewer than 2% of the population - and a sick, mentally ill, perverted 2% - has so much power. Quite amazing.

It’s wondrous, actually. I wonder when it’s all going to fall apart. No civilization can continue for long when the foundation has been eaten away by moral rot, any more than a house continue to stand when the foundation is eaten away by termites.

Hmm, maybe that’s why I hate termites so much. I kill almost nothing, but I do kill termites. They’re enemies of my house. And sexual perverts (or their pals) promoting the demoniac homo-nazi agenda are enemies of human civilization.

In your appreciation of gay guys

Don' t assume to read more than is there.

I was simply stating a fact ABOUT their ability to put on a good party...not 'appreciating gay guys' or their lifestyle.

I far from 'appreciate gay guys or their society-destroying animal behavior. (Apologies to all animals)

So we have that "straight"?

I don’t hate anybody; least of all homosexuals. I just don’t want to TALK their sexual habits to death. It is BORING! I think their habits are HABITS, and I think their habits often end up with bad results that are MORE HARMFUL than Michelle’s lecture subjects regarding our diets!! I just wish common sense would prevail.

That amusing incident was the fault of Desiree Rogers, Obama's first social secretary. She was out of there in its wake.

She is the divorced wife of Chicago money manager and Forbes columnist John W. Rogers, a real favorite of Frantzie's.

One of the main reasons I cancelled Forbes. They pimped for Rogers. Rogers was the earliest financier for hussein.
