Obama appoints open gay who is now "Acting Secretary of the Air Force"

How fast is it going south?  Consider that Obama has appointed the first openly gay man as the acting Secretary of the Air Force.

Obozo appointed Eric Fanning to Undersecretary in August of last year.  Fanning was confirmed by the senate just ten weeks ago.  Then four days ago, when the Secretary of the AF retired, Fanning became "acting" Secretary of the Air Force.

Now, is there anyone on the planet who thinks Obozo *didn't know* Fanning's sexual orientation when he appointed the guy as Undersecretary?  Of course not.  And does anyone believe Obama didn't know, at that time, within a week or so of when the full Sec AF was planning to retire?  Same answer.

This was hardly an accident, but instead a very carefully-calculated move by Obozo--the most likely purpose being to reward his gay supporters.  But I think it will have two other, more detrimental effects:

First, I think there's little doubt that it will harden the opposition of fanatical Muslims, who regard homosexuality as forbidden by the Koran and who execute their own citizens for such acts.  For an American president to appoint one as head of one of the branches of our armed forces reinforces the belief of Muslims that America is hopelessly corrupt.

Keep in mind that the Obama administration is normally so scared of offending Muslims that they told the military to order soldiers not to touch copies of the Koran unless they were wearing gloves.  So in other cases they're really sensitive to this.  But not this time, apparently.

Why did the Obama administration suddenly lose its fear of offending Muslims?  This leads to the second effect:  I believe this was done with the full knowledge that it would have a detrimental effect on morale in the U.S. armed forces.  It was one thing for Democrats to spearhead a law that gays could serve in any military position as long as they didn't openly behave in a way detrimental to the military mission--the "Don't ask, don't tell" law signed by Clinton.  But to appoint an open gay to the top slot in the AF--even if temporary--sends a very clear message to the guys who constitute 80% of the force--and 99% of the fighting forces.
