President Barack Obama sharply rebuked his Republican rivals Saturday, saying anyone who wants to be commander in chief must support the entire U.S. military, including gay service members.
A combative Obama criticized Republican presidential candidates for staying silent when the crowd at a recent debate booed a gay soldier who asked a question of the contenders via videotape.
"You want to be commander in chief? You can start by standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States, even when it's not politically convenient," Obama said during remarks at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights organization.
Referencing the boos at the Sept. 22 Republican debate, he said: "We don't believe in standing silent when that happens."
Obama touted his administration's efforts to repeal the military's ban on openly gay service members, as well as his orders to the Justice Department to stop enforcing a law defining marriage as between one man and one woman...

Nice pic -- "Lightning Plays Over the Troll Farm". DU is deeply saddened.
Did you see -- whose was it, Chode's? -- photo upthread of Barky's little grimace? @ post 120 .... God, it was so ..... gay!
All hail Chode! A zotly photo for a zotful thread -- God, I love the smell of ozone in the morning afternoon!
I'm just sorry that glib-talking, evil bag of pus oozed into the White House in the first place. We're going to need two cans of Lysol, not the one we got by with after Slick moved out, when one of our conservative champions begins disinfecting the White Hut.
And a bucket of bleach. All horizontal surfaces ..... no exceptions.
Oh, wait, though -- I guess orcs do eat troll.
Wonder if they eat 'Rat? And RiNO?
Exactly, they come armed with their lying propaganda.
So you are for gay marriage and open fags in the military and you call yourself conservative. What a joke. Can you say troll.
He go “Bye-Bye”!
Because they are deranged, there are no good endings: they can't find satisfaction, there are no descendents, no future. It's all about here and now.
I have no idea why Adm. Mullen and the service chiefs went along meekly with this change to the services. They have to know that this will be a disaster. Once the homosexual networks are up and running, they will control most everything. The saying "who do you have to b__w to get promoted?" will be pretty much true. My family has a long tradition of military service but I will strongly resist having my children continue the tradition while the homosexuals run unimpeded through our services.
Go away troll. What is discussed here is not private nor only between two consenting adults. What we discuss is a government IMPOSING its morally devoid humanist religion upon the citizenry. We discuss a government religion that has as two of its tenets, homosexual sex and abortion.
Obama is a spineless enemy of all that is good in America!
