Oh, yeah. President Stompyfoot will be LIVID!

Jon Lovett, a former White House speech writer to President Barack Obama, claimed at last week's Aspen Ideas Festival that he performed a secret same-sex wedding at the White House.
Lovett believes Obama had no knowledge of the secret and rushed same-sex ceremony and believes his then boss would not have approved of the event.
While the recording of Lovett's talk is not yet available, Mike Allen of Politico reported Lovett's comments which took place during "The Moth Radio Hour" podcast at the Aspen Ideas Festival. Lovett claims it was the first same-sex marriage at the White House.
"Steve and Justin and I walked through the double doors," declared Lovett, "into the ground floors of the West Wing, past the Situation Room, down the hall past the offices of the [NSC], up the stairs by the cabinet room and the Oval Office, through the doors of the Colonnade that connect the offices of the West Wing to the stately rooms of the residence, and we turned right down the stone path that jutted into the Rose Garden and then I said, 'Steve do you take Justin to be your lawfully wedded husband? And Justin, do you take Steve?'"
Lovett claimed he could give tours of the White House anytime he wanted and talked about the nerves the three men felt because they believed it was against the president's "wishes" at the time.
"We were very nervous, they were nervous because they were getting married," says Lovett. "I was nervous because I snuck into my boss' house to perform a wedding against his wishes in his backyard.
"You can say what you will about the first same-sex marriage at the White House, at the very least it was quite rude … They kissed modestly, … and then I filed the paperwork"
Lovett states the only proof of the nuptials was that he had to list The White House address, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, when he filled out the paperwork for "Steve and Justin."
Same-sex marriage was passed by the District of Columbia in December of 2009 and D.C. started issuing licenses in March of 2010.
Although the exact time and year of the wedding stunt is unknown, Lovett worked in the White House during President Obama's first term. Before Obama's reelection, the president was still publicly opposed to homosexual weddings and according to him his views had not yet fully "evolved." Although, former adviser David Axelrod claimed in a recent book that Obama was misleading at the time and always supported gay marriage.
Lovett, who left the White House for Hollywood in 2011, recently worked as a writer and adviser on the HBO series "The Newsroom." During the podcast, he declared he went into politics for same reasons others do: "ambition, self-righteousness, and a desire to help others."
The Moth podcast is "an acclaimed not-for-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. It is a celebration of both the raceonteur, who breathes fire into true tales of ordinary life, and the storytelling novice, who has lived through something extraordinary and yearns to share it."
Lovett, previously worked for Hillary Clinton as a speechwriter in her U.S. Senate office and during her failed presidential campaign in 2008. Lovett co-created the short lived NBC Series "The Penn," and according to his bio is currently working on a political series for Showtime. On Twitter, Lovett recently declared, "being gay is great" and joked about taking Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia to a screening of "Magic Mike," a movie about male strippers.
I imagine that the secret proceedings at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave include goat entrails and the blood of virgins, as well.
Oh, yeah. President Stompyfoot will be LIVID!
Putin is going to laugh when he hears about the lack of WH security.
Did they light paint the WH for Independence Day?
Who’s he kidding? It was probably Bambi and Reggie that he secretly married.

Should have read, “former fudge packer for President Obama.”
In this one area, I am glad that the democrats are lying. As destructive as Obama is to freedom and to America's survival, he would be even more dangerous if their claims that he never knows anything until it is on the evening news were true.
RE: Under what legal authority is this sniveling jackleg performing marriage ceremonies?
I always argued to my gay friends that they can get “married” any way they like. They can have it performed by a church of their own choosing, a judge, a Mayor, a governor, Obama himself or even this jackleg.
Just don’t COERCE or FORCE people who take their faith seriously to recognize their “marriage”.
And THAT is the problem -— nothing but the TOTAL surrender of devout believers who they want to persecute until they discard their faith, will do (witness the Oregon Baker as but one example ).
No worse than what Clinton did in the Oval Office or JFK did wherever. Bottom line is the white house is a cesspool when democrats are in charge.
Kind of like sacrificing a pig on the Altar of the Jewish Temple, I would opine.
I might even go so far as to call it a “desecration” of a place that was once considered a sacred, holy, or at least blessed edifice.
A form of an “Abomination of Desolation” perhaps?
Any Church that conducts a perverted “wedding” regardless of it’s secular legality is, IMHO, desecrated.
This is why I think the Sodomites are so obsessively intent on forcing each and every Christian Church to perform such abominations, so as to negate their spiritual power.
They know what this is all about better than most Churches do.
If they have their way, no “temple”, Church or Synagogue will be left undesecrated.
Note how they don’t seem at all concerned about doing this to Mosques; either they are afraid of the Muslims who probably won’t bend over and submit to them or they aren’t at all worried about their spiritual power and aren’t wasting their time on them.
Why, was he jealous? Love triangle? Knew that the union epitomized white privilege?
