Obama Throws LGBT Americans Under the Bus AGAIN - 9th Circuit Stays DADT Injunction

With a supposed "friend" and "fierce advocate like Barack Obama, a/k/a the Liar-in-Chief on this blog, who needs an enemy. The Liar-in-Chief claims to support the repeal of DADT - not that one would know it from his actions. Other than insincere and disingenuous lip service, the Liar-in-Chief has (1) done everything possible to maintain the religious based discriminatory policy against LGBT Americans and (2) brown nosed Republican Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and the fossils in the senior military brass that it's amazing he hasn't suffocated. Now, Obama's DOJ has secured a stay from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that blocks Judge Virginia Phillips' injunction that bars the discharge of LGBT service members under DADT. That's right, thanks to our "fierce advocate," anti-gay discrimination is once again the law of the land in terms of the U. S. military. Seriously, any one in the LGBT community who believes anything this president says has either been living under a rock or drinking some of the Christianist style Kool-Aid. Talking Points Memo has this:
*
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has lifted the injunction imposed by a district court that prevented the Pentagon from enforcing Don't Ask Don't Tell. This keeps the status quo in place while the case is on appeal.
*
The one page order reads simply:
*
This court has received appellant's emergency motion to stay the district court's October 12, 2010 order pending appeal. The order is stayed temporarily in order to provide this court with an opportunity to consider fully the issues presented. Appellee may file an opposition to the motion for a stay pending appeal by October 25, 2010. To expedite consideration of the motion, no reply shall be filed.

*

I truly hope that the 9th Circuit lifts its temporary stay. Meanwhile, the words contempt and disgust best describe my feeling toward the Liar-in-Chief. I increasingly hope his is a one term president and that history views him as a failed president. He has certainly utterly betrayed millions who elected him. As readers know, I do not readily countenance liars.
