Obama nominates openly gay man to lead Army

Is this for "show"? Or is he the most qualified person?

That you feel the need to ask such a question speaks volumes.

People have various opinions on this.
I don't feel a need, I'm just curious what others think.
That you feel a need to make a judgment on me because of my question speaks volumes....

"Obama nominates openly gay man to lead Army"

The Framers vision of American will be finally realized when such an event is not 'newsworthy.'

Can you support that?

Why is this an issue?

It's not an issue but something others might want to talk about.
I posed the question whether the was truly the most qualified, or, if he was chosen over the others BECAUSE he is Gay (in light of recent events in the country, where gays and transsexuals are all being glorified) -

I'm not say he's NOT qualified, I'm just asking if we believe he's truly the MOST qualified and/or best choice.

Why don't you research his qualifications before you start a thread? Can you give your bigotry a ten minute rest, or is that too much?

obama did this for one reason only, it's yet another in your face gesture to anything traditional. The most qualified guy happens to be gay? Like the most qualified top picks for cabinet positions are all leftist/socialist/blacks? If you believe that you will believe anything.

I'm not a bigot either- you don't even know me......

You are the bigot (defined: person who is intolerant of others who hold a differing opinion)

I'm just asking the question, you are on the attack.

The Senate has to approve this appointment, so if the guy genuinely lacking in qualifications, that will come out;

if he is well qualified, the President will flush out the homophobes in the Senate once more and give an awesome boost to the Democrats politically.

The propensity of the right to attempt to contrive a 'controversy' where none exists is remarkable.

Yes I have.

Mr. Fanning has been the acting under secretary of the Army as the current secretary, John McHugh, prepares to leave his post. Mr. Fanning’s Defense Department jobs have spanned the services: He has served as Air Force under secretary, deputy under secretary of the Navy and deputy chief management officer of the Navy.

“I can’t think of any civilian with more experience with the services, having served in senior positions in all three,” said Derek Chollet, a former assistant defense secretary. “He understands all of their unique cultures and processes.”

Bringing up an issue for discussion is not contrived (at least not in this case)

Unless you just think civil discourse is impossible. Narrow minded at best.

They have circled their wagons around an ever diminishing number of diehards who still think this is a controversy.

I'm interested and curious - what people's thoughts are - is that a foreign concept to you?

lol, you don't have to research his qualifications, that's your admission of not knowing them?

That's also your admission of not reading your own link, because his qualifications are in it.
