In a meeting with the heads of the five service branches in 2010, President Obama offered the leaders a choice: Support my efforts to end the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, or resign. In a video obtained by BuzzFeed via a Freedom of Information Act request, Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Robert Papp revealed that Obama was unwilling to compromise with service leaders over DADT during a meeting in 2010. “We were called into the Oval Office and President Obama looked all five service chiefs in the eye and said, ‘This is what I want to do.’ I cannot divulge everything

Well said. God forgives those who repent and turn from sin. When will his transgendered Michelle fess up?

The same boldness and courage he demonstrated in standing up to Putin . . .

Oh, he didn't???

Here's the interesting thing: Putin recently gave a speech positioning Russia as the champion of "traditional values" and the counter to the increasingly "morally bankrupt" (paraphrasing him) West.

Consider that we're already moving into an era where the Liberal/Progressive US and West is going to use various sticks (including economic weapons) to push it's Liberal/Progressive agenda.

THAT'S what Putin is claiming to be drawing the line against, and trying to rally other nations behind him. It's going to make for very interesting times ahead ...

Should have said the following:

Consider that we’re already moving into an era where the Liberal/Progressive US and West is going to use various sticks (including economic weapons) to push it’s Liberal/Progressive agenda onto other nations and cultures.

quickest way to identify those not aligned with his thinking while also opening positions for fags to advance

each and every single 0bama advanced officer to command rank must be retired once this pox is removed from the office

[Jack Hammer]

Obama is absolutely determined to destroy the US with every means at his disposal.

His grinning photos conceal an angry and jealously destructive inner nature.

I’d rather see flag officers who oppose obama’s dictates but stay in place rather than resign and have a loyal obama dick licker take their place. They know his time is short and that his dictates can be made null and void again.

[ilovesarah2012]

What could they possibly blackmail him about that we don’t already know???

No one in the world pays any attention to Barry,

You assume he’s a pitcher? He’s got catcher writ large.

[henkster]

He’s a utility player.

Obama was late to embrace the Romney/libertarian position on homosexualizing the military.

Here is Romney-1994- “” One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.””

Here are libertarians-””Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws.””

Here is Rand Paul-””I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues,” Paul advised. “The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.””

Yeah, the great uniter. With Obama it’s always my way or the highway.

Example #7555666 of Obama choosing style over substance.

[garjog]

““We were called into the Oval Office and President Obama looked all five service chiefs in the eye and said, ‘This is what I want to do.’”

This lying misleader came into office saying he opposed gay marriage.

Now that he has power, he want to insure more gay donations to the Democrats.

What a disgusting low life excuse for a leader.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Now you’re over the target. :-)

[peeps36]

They should have worked together to bring Cornholio and his corrupt regime down. Where are all the patriotic leaders of our military? They must have forgot about their oath to protect us from enemies, foreign and Domestic.

[SoFloFreeper]

You will FORCED to celebrate sodomy.

[Truth29]

After three more years of Obama’s savaging of the military, how much capability will be left if we actually have to fight a war with a capable enemy?

[JimRed]

Has the UCMJ been changed? The BEHAVIOR was a punishable offense, is it still so? The INCLINATION used to be a disqualifier, if admitted, before DADT.
