Hey, how else could a player who averaged 0.9 points game this season and whose career is almost certainly over get props from the White House? This should guarantee him an analyst job covering gay sports issues with ESPN. :)

How can they call it courage in this day and age? It is a badge of honor for the left and the gay agenda.

Now if the president "comes out", we will all be able to be proud of America for the first time in our adult lives.

It's a wacky world out there.

Courage is going on the battlefield and dying for your country..courage is fighting a horrendous disease like cancer..putting your pecker in another dude’s ass and calling it “love” is NOT courage

Progress?

And Obama’s wife made a hospital visit to a guy tackled at the Boston bombing who she knew was Osama Bin Laden’s son Hamzi, shortly after somebody singlehandedly removed his classification of “known terrorist”. And the Hawaii state registrar effectively confirmed that Obama’s Hawaii BC is non-valid (revealing that the whole stinkin’ system hid the truth about him just like he hid the truth about Bin Laden’s son smiling wide for the camera after he planned the killing of innocent Americans and gets to waltz scott-free because Obama is his ally....

Aside from all that, we could talk about something really important - like the kind of nightee my husband prefers me to wear.... And I’m sure Obama would praise me for revealing the sexual preferences within our household too....

This world is insane.

I understand that this is not new, and that Kennedy and Clinton did the same thing, but I just can't condone using the prestige of the presidential office to hit on potential love interests.

It's not seemly.

Reggie Love, for one, must be livid.
