President Obama, in a historic first for the Pentagon, has chosen to nominate Eric Fanning to lead the Army, a move that would make him the first openly gay civilian secretary of one of the military services.
Fanning’s nomination is the latest in a series of actions taken by the administration to advance the rights of gays and lesbians throughout the federal government. The Obama administration has overhauled internal policies to provide benefits to same-sex partners, appointed gay men and lesbians to the executive branch and the federal bench and ended the 18-year ban on gays serving openly in the military.
Fanning, who must still be confirmed by the Senate, has been a specialist on defense and national security issues for more than 25 years in Congress and the Pentagon. As Army secretary, he would be partnered with Gen. Mark Milley, who took over as the Army’s top general in August. Together the two men would assume responsibility for the Pentagon’s largest and most troubled service.

Obama is Stupid. Obama is Lazy. Obama is Ignorant. Obama is Arrogant. Obama is full of in your face Mouth flapping.
Obama is the sort of person for which the N-Word was invented.
“Fanning, who must still be confirmed by the Senate, has been a specialist on defense and national security issues for more than 25 years in Congress and the Pentagon.”
Like they are going to stop this? I will be so glad when Obama is gone. I will be so happy to vote against my Senator in 2016.
Eric Fanning no doubt said he would be happy to serve under Obama, and the gay communist couldn’t resist.
.....Nope ...... no agenda there < / sarcasm >
Why not a trangendered hermaphrodite?
A homosexual president filling the country’s leadership offices with other homosexuals. No surprise. If we elect Hillary we can get another homosexual in the White House.
Was a more qualified, straight person passed over for this guy?
But I bet the new Army Uniforms will be just fabulous.
Moochelle is a hermaphrodite. That’s what attracted Barack to her.. SHE HAS A D*CK.
God Im so sick of this shit.
Sadly, your response is well understood.
You understood my question.
Whatever you do, do not search on those phrases in Google Pics.
We just declared a declaration of war, on ourselves.
