I managed to join the 'real' Illuminati online at 14. To even fathom that as a possibility suggests the people running the show, picked themselves. My silly dad thinking he's the first generation, because I got him annually invited to bohemian grove. I don't like to wear suits okay???
Born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan,[4][5] he graduated from Centerville High School in Ohio in 1986, after attending Cranbrook Schools in Michigan, and received his B.A. in history from Dartmouth College in 1990.[6] His interest in government and politics began when he participated in the 1988 New Hampshire primary contest.[7]
In the 1990s, he was on the staff of the House Armed Services Committee and later a special assistant in the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Defense. He later served as associate director of political affairs at the White House.
He also worked at Business Executives for National Security, a Washington, D.C.–based think-tank and at Robinson, Lerer & Montgomery, a strategic communications firm in New York City.
He served as deputy undersecretary and deputy chief management officer for the Department of the Navy beginning in July 2009. He was also deputy director of the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism.[8]
President Obama nominated him to be Under Secretary of the Air Force on August 1, 2012.[9] He testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on February 28, 2013.[10] The U.S. Senate confirmed him on April 18, 2013.[11] He assumed the position of Acting Secretary of the Air Force upon the resignation of Michael Donley on June 21, 2013.[12]
He is the highest ranking openly gay member of the Department of Defense.[6] He was a member of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund from 2004 to 2007. He favors the adoption by the U.S. military of a policy prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. He has said: "I personally like to see these things in writing and codified." He has expressed a preference for the establishment of such a policy by the Department of Defense rather than the Obama administration: "My view about government is you should always use those resources that are available to you first before you move up to the next level, so I think there are a number of things we can do inside this building for the Department of Defense". He supports allowing openly transgender persons to serve in the military as well.[7]

Ok....so is this solely a political move for BHO
NOTHING the president does isn't without political gain.
I have nothing against that guy at all, but I really do think he got the job based solely on his sexual oreintation.
I mean look at his appointments elsewhere. Not a single one that was qualified.
Biden is apparently running now too. So Biden will throw off the Hillary vote and allow Sanders to win...
Dunno bout that prolly looking at a Biden CLinton ticket with Sanders getting Sec State.
We won't have much of a military left by then.

Probably. Who knows?
But what's worse: Nominating someone for political reasons, or disliking the nomination because of their sexual orientation?

I never said I had been. My point was, the members are so self appointed,
after I joined and suggested my dad go, he was invited, inducted, and still in disbelief himself I'm even in the Organization.
Only old people believe the myth you can't join online.
