Obama Becomes First U.S. President To Pose For An LGBT Magazine Cover

The president is on the cover of Out magazine, which named him “Ally of the Year.”

posted on Nov. 10, 2015, at 9:55 a.m.

President Obama appears on the latest issue of Out magazine, becoming the first sitting U.S. leader to be photographed for the cover of an LGBT title, the publication said.

The president appears on the magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the LGBT community.

“This is the first time a sitting president has been photographed for the cover of an LGBT title,” Out’s editor-in-chief, Aaron Hicklin, wrote, “a historic moment in itself, and a statement on how much his administration has done to advance a singularly volatile issue that tarnished the reputations of both President Clinton and President Bush.”

“A president who came to office on a wave of euphoria, appeared to lose momentum halfway through, and has since rallied, helping us secure marriage equality, among other landmark initiatives that are transforming our place in America,” he said.

Hicklin also conducted an interview with Obama for the magazine in which the president discussed LGBT people who have influenced his life, as well as the same-sex marriage movement.

“Part of being American is having a responsibility to stand up for freedom — not just our own freedom, but for everybody’s freedom,” Obama told the magazine. “Our individual stories come together to make one large American story.”

Others featured on the magazine’s list include soccer player Abby Wambach, activist Deray Mckesson, actress Cynthia Nixon, and former athlete and TV personality Caitlyn Jenner.

Everyone is a bit of a hyperbole, I'll admit.

But I just can't help but stir the pot in a thread that has the stated purpose of heaping praise on one of the most unaccountable Presidents in recent memory, and thus one of the most abusive of his power.

Unaccountable? By what measure? He's certainly not abusive of his power if we are comparing him to presidents in recent history as opposed to those in sci-fi.

Stirring the pot however it generally something only idiots do. There is an Obamabad thread, just nobody posts in it. And that's not because everybody loves Obama there are tons of individual fuck you obama threads just nobody with the skills to find the all encompassing thread.

You really think you're "stirring the pot?" In a thread where the Jenbot seagull shits in daily just because it's basic? I mean, hey, if that's what makes you happy, then keep going for yours, guy!

Thing is, though...if you have an actual voice with an opinion to be heard instead of just blurting disposable snark because you got boredoms, then you should voice it properly. Because not only are you not a beautiful unique snowflake bringing something original, it's going to be washed away in a huge pot of sauce.

Like I said to Pee Dude. The Obamabad thread was made at the same time this one was. There's a reason why it's at the bottom of the riverbed. The basic bitches flitting about here who think they're saying something could do something about that if they really wanted to say something, but...but...but...

[RacyRaconteur]

Umm...The unregulated drone assassination wars? The Wall Street bailout? PRISM or any number of other government invasions of citizen privacy? The continued imprisonment of whistle-blowers?

Nixon wiretapped a few of his rivals and was rightfully run out of office with pitchforks. Obama wiretapped the whole damned country, but it's all good because he said some nice things about gay people.

There is an Obamabad thread, just nobody posts in it.

Could it be that the administration's feel-good propaganda is actually doing what it's supposed to?

This thread tells me everything I need to know about the answer to that question.

It's this thread that's not original. It's the political equivalent of a collection of teenagers who just love to talk about how pretty the prom queen is.

Hey, don't get me wrong, now...your participation is welcome, thread bumps are a win for the team. Like I said, nobody's posting in the Obamabad party zone!

Such a handsome couple.

Yeah, they're sexy beasts.

Drawing a mustache on pictures of the prom queen.

She's a mean bitch, no matter how popular she is.

 

[Sean Renaud]

The thread is actually one of a kind so try again.

Umm...The unregulated drone assassination wars? The Wall Street bailout? PRISM or any number of other government invasions of citizen privacy? The continued imprisonment of whistle-blowers?

Nixon wiretapped a few of his rivals and was rightfully run out of office with pitchforks. Obama wiretapped the whole damned country, but it's all good because he said some nice things about gay people.


Could it be that the administration's feel-good propaganda is actually doing what it's supposed to?

This thread tells me everything I need to know about the answer to that question.

The unregulated drone assassinations? Well ignoring that Obama gave that power to Congress and it was disgusting he did get called on it. Oh and Bush started two wars without much accountability.

Bush bailed out Wall Street. (It was the right move to make by the way and Obama would have made the call had he been given the chance but he was several months late.)

Invasions of privacy? Again Obama has stepped many of those programs back and they started under Bush. And Bush did get some crap for them. Its debatable who got MORE crap though I would argue Obama if only because the abstractions of the Patriot Act became actual facts under Obama but still.

I'll admit to having glossed over the imprisonment of whistleblowers and I know he hasn't been great in that department. I assume you have some facts to compare and contrast that with other presidents?

Again. Bush wiretapped the entire damn country (And that's not actually what happened but I'm not interested in giving you a history lesson right now.) and they got permission. Not the same as what Nixon did at all. Not even the same game.

Whether or not this administration is doing what it set out to is debatable but that wasn't your assertion. You claimed he was unnaccountable and that's simply not the fact. You can hate him all you like but it would be nice if more of his detractors had a firm grasp on history and the ability to articulate things more complex than derp derp don't like derp derp. Anyway carry on, we'd started running out of idiots who post derp here.

Yeah, oooookay...whatever helps you sleep at night...but...

C'mon. You gotta have better bullets in your pistol than that pellet. If you're gonna burn time, then show us something we haven't seen before, at least.

Netanyahu Praises Meeting with Obama, Requests Record Aid

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has wrapped up a visit to Washington. A day after meeting President Obama at the White House, Netanyahu sat down with lawmakers and addressed the Center for American Progress, a Democratic think tank. His appearance comes as leaked emails reported by The Intercept show CAP has censored its own writers on the topic of Israel. Netanyahu has reportedly requested a record $5 billion in annual U.S. military aid, an increase over the $3 billion the U.S. already provides. Ahead of Netanyahu’s visit, Israel moved to greenlight the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank with 2,200 new housing units. The move recalled a similar act by Netanyahu just before a visit to Israel by Vice President Joe Biden in 2010. The settlements are considered illegal under international law. Addressing the Jewish Federation of North America, Netanyahu praised his talks with Obama, saying, "Israel has no better friend than America."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "I had a very good meeting with President Obama at the White House, and I deeply appreciate his commitment to bolster Israel’s security at the time when the Middle East is becoming more dangerous than ever. And I also want to say that we are sharing so many things. The United States is giving indispensable help to Israel, indispensable, but Israel is returning that assistance almost on a daily basis in intelligence and in many other things."

So we're still gonna ignore them building illegal settlements? Yippy. At least they like us?

No Excuse, Says Human Rights Lawyer, Obama Can Still Close Guantánamo

After President Barack Obama agreed on Tuesday to sign a $607 billion "defense" bill that undermines his own plan to shutter the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay, media outlets sounded the death knell for hopes that the facility will close before his term ends in 2017.

But Omar Shakir, a Bertha fellow at the Center for Constitutional Rights, told Common Dreams that the president, in fact, still retains the ability to close the prison—and must act now to fulfill his repeated pledges.

"Obama has been able and continues to be able to transfer the men cleared for release by every security and intelligence agency," Shakir said over the phone from Guantánamo where he is meeting with clients. "It is in his power to accelerate the pace of periodic review boards. He has the ability through the Department of Justice to ensure that those who face trial do so in fair proceedings in federal court."

"Obama has failed to follow through with his campaign promises and commitments to close Guantánamo by taking concrete steps while in power to articulate and execute a vision," Shakir continued. "In the vacuum we have seen opportunistic politicians from both sides of the aisle using Guantánamo as a tool for their own purposes at the expense of the critical principles of due process and freedom, holding men without charge in indefinite detention without end."

What in six years he couldn't negate an Executive Order that illegally set up a "offshore" prison manned by the Marine Corps, who are supposed to be killing our Enemies? Is he so captured by the Washington Establishment that he has lost control of his understanding of Constitutionality?

He seems to be for unconstitutionality in not procecuting our war criminals, not holding the beauracy responsible for doing their jobs, or seeing that the laws are executed fairly as called for in our most basic documents, the LAW.

Good is a relative value. Obama is less and less good as time passes. He has not faced up to the challenge we set for him to rid our country of the crony capitalistic arrangements of the Bush era.

Results or GTFO!

Europe is finally taking action, with product labels for anything from the settlements claiming to be Israeli.

Obama’s failure of leadership on Gitmo

People are responsible for the enforcement of the law.

On Aug. 14, the Department of Justice (DOJ) blocked the release from the Guantánamo Bay prison of Tariq Ba Odah, a gravely ill detainee who was cleared for transfer by the Guantánamo Review Task Force, which was created by an executive order in 2009. On a hunger strike for the past eight years and kept alive by brutal force-feedings, he now weighs less than 75 pounds and is reportedly near death. Ba Odah, a Yemeni national, has spent nearly a third of his life at the facility but has never been charged with a crime.

The opposition to his release contradicts President Barack Obama’s professed determination to close the facility before leaving office. It also calls into question the validity administration’s interagency strategy for closing the prison and the argument that Congress is solely responsible for the continued detention of the remaining 116 inmates there, including the 52 who have been cleared for transfer.

The DOJ’s objection was filed under seal. The government’s lawyers claimed the unprecedented secrecy was warranted because it contains sensitive medical information. But Ba Odah’s deteriorating medical condition is public knowledge, and his prolonged hunger strike was intended to draw attention to his desperate plight. It appears instead that the DOJ was maneuvering to avoid public scrutiny and backlash, as it has done in its vehement opposition to the release of videotapes of force-feedings of former detainee Abu Wa’el Dhiab.

Last I heard the DOJ was under Obama, how does he let this level of insubordination fester?
