Obama is pushing for this nomination and if he succeeds every American must sensibly ask themselves how much this "compromise" will cost? It'll be another excuse to buy off the "values" of his base with tax dollars or more taking of American liberties. Watch and learn:

Gays Turn on Obama’s Secretary of Defense Pick
A pro-lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender group issued a statement today urging President Barack Obama not to nominate Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense.
“GetEQUAL strongly opposes the potential nomination of Chuck Hagel to become the next Secretary of Defense. Hagel has, time and time again, taken every opportunity to lambast and denigrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans, and the Cabinet is no place for this kind of disrespect,†writes the chair GetEQUAL’s board Tanya Domi.
Hagel’s recent apology for his insulting comments about the nomination of James Hormel as U.S. Ambassador to Luxemborg were hollow, politically expedient, and nakedly gratuitous. The Defense Department has made important strides toward creating an inclusive Armed Forces, but has miles left to go — nominating Hagel to lead the Defense Department would be a staggering step backward for the LGBT community and an upheaval of President Obama’s past support for the LGBT community.

Any man who can openly insult a man named as U.S. Ambassador on his sexuality rather than his qualifications for the post is not someone you want to be promoting to such an important post. There's a time for keeping your lips zipped and this was it.
Either way in this case Patriot Americans are likely to be the losers. I can already hear the lamestream media's "news" reports, how "Obama had to give this or that because of this 'concession'." You help bring in-the-face perspective to just how whacked he's "nudged" our country (an Obama 'Cas Sunstein Czar' coined term, if I recall).
I hope your next President cares without pretense but that Obama's opposition is also out of the race.
The problem is (if you've not perused these you should, you'd be shocked at the alarming familiarity), Obama (and his wife) spent their entire adult careers studying and teaching the Communist tactics of Saul Alinsky aka the Cloward-Piven Strategies. Those define in their own printed materials that a "war between the President and his people or the people against each other" is not only exactly what they (he) want, it is what they are pushing for. Alinsky's material identifies the "Community Organizer" needed to do that job and how he should do it, Cloward-Piven expounds on that. Tah-Dah!
Gorunded historical context IS at the very foundation of Patriot Americans' concerns (and disdain), David. Once you're familiar with those, you get just how serious America's situation is.
If the Armed Forces now tolerates gays it's wouldn't be great policy to stick someone who shows such distaste for them in the job. Could he be trusted to treat them fairly?
I still hold that Patriot Americans will end up paying for some ruse positioned by his media as this being a "concession" to his base he has to make up for. They're already talking about him being so concerned about his "legacy." HA! Got news for them - he blew his "legacy" in his first two years of ramming through that unconscionable piece of ObamaTax HC with back room payoffs. He set the stage then for the Chicago thug style corruption we've seen ever since.
Your standard for political ettiquette appeals to my English side. America used to be more like that. Hasn't been since Reagan and George Bush Sr. were presidents. Cracks me up, though, that we have this pretend gentlemanly and orderly Congress while the English go nutty crazy in theirs. At least theirs is honest about what they think, I give them that.
The gay populkation from everyone I knew, and everyw23here I read, was livid with Obama because he didnt overturn the DADT policy in his first year as promised.
He finally got that done in year 4/late 3 as I recall.
Then I was still hearing about issues on gay marraige, and that DADT took so long.
VOIL'A as if by magic, he issues a pro-gay marraige statement, and it seems all was forgotten.
The exit polls say he got 77% of the vote to be re-elected ...............
If it were not szo sad - it would be funny.
Everything I've read documents that Obama barely received 51% of the popular vote. My earlier article drew great conclusions on just how "barely" he did scrap that much off, even with massive fraud. Given the massive fraud there's no way in you-know-what I'd ever be convinced he got 3/4 of this country's vote. No way, Jesse. Either way, you're right, though: If it were not so sad - it would be funny he was re-elected at all. I'd like a rebate on my fair share of taxes that paid for his two huge Canadian manufactured campaign buses.
I'm JUST sayin';-]
Hyper wonders about a different issue with Fren:
He will have to get the memo at the next secret monthly meeting of our "National Society of Professional Interior & Fashion Designers Wink Wink".
Interesting Hyper has more Democrat friends, but currently has closer relationships and feelings for a few Republican friends. Who - Hyper included - could have guessed?
Hyper has a weak spot for those who are gracious, kind to him, and/or dress stylishly. These just happen to be Republicans at times.
Hyper is amused that even a few Democrats on Gather he likes find his questions about their party annoying and sometimes ignore him;-]
Hyper finds appeal in a certain Republican of recent past, who has influenced him not only into third person hood, but also into supporting one specific type of health insurance mandate (so to type):
Awww, ignore you? Maybe that's because you chat about you like you aren't you, you think? Make a presence, man :)!
Now you've really got me guessing about the Republican, your third personhood and some health insurance mandate? That sounds like an opening to a bad joke, lol. "So to type," HA!.
Former Senator - and Republican Bob Dole of Kansas - was famous for speaking in third person. So much so that he received this type of gentle ribbing. He - and third personhood - seem on the thoughtful side?
Whenever I happen to get around to seeing him next and informing him of your suggestion, Hyper will undoubtedly give serious review whether to continue in Bob Dole's illustrious third person footsteps. "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."
I did not know that about Bob Dole and I've heard him speak a lot. Huh! 'Thoughtful side,' yes, in mild form. When heavy laddened a little goes a long way, it grows worrisome :). I have to admit you do it well. Is there anything you do not do well? Let me guess, change a tire? (lol)
Do give Hyper my regards and tell him I enjoy his character, it's too pleasant to be held in safekeeping. Uh-oh, if he starts taking "giant leaps" I think we're in real trouble, though. Easy does it :)!
(Did you have as much trouble typing "NSPIFDWW" as I did, rofl?)
Bob Dole and Hyper are not the only illeists:
World famous football star Pelé
Famous basketball player Lebron James
Famous boxer Amir Khan
USA presidential contender Herman Cain
WWII hero Charles de Gaulle
Actress Bridgette Bardot
Rapper and T.V. star Flavor Flav
World famous artist the late Salvador Dali
Famed former talk show host Regis Philbin
Fictional character Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie's Poirot
These are some of the more famous practitioners of illeism.
One of the earliest known uses of the method in literature is in Julius Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico, estimated B.C.E. 50s or 40s.
