While I get the impetus, I disagree on any "point" awards. I disagree that executive orders are the way to handle such matters, pressing though they be. I disagree with the characterization of "complacency" as there is far more nuance to governing in this environment - and since clear evidence demonstrates POTUS has actively pushed forward LGBT causes. I agree that it is not enough and that POTUS could be bolder on any number of subjects. But now I stray too far afield. Bottom line for me is that this heckler wasn't prepared for the strength of personality (which I admire greatly in women) that is FLOTUS, and that her request of EO was senseless in the matter. In either event I wasn 't giving out "points".

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE, MICHELLE
<i>Hmmm.</i> Reading a bit deeper, if indeed said heckler was merely requesting an EO specifically to intervene in fed contracting, then I retract the &quot;senseless&quot; and EO portions of my comment post haste. All else I let stand.

&quot;...Yr Wonkette is apparently part of the aristocracy now ...&quot; To the tumbrels then!

Right-wing Nut Jobs. There is no trace of &quot;conservative&quot; left in the hysterics, even though they like to imagine otherwise.

Under Obama, everyone who works for the federal government is gay.
Rabbitate, wasn&#039;t that one of those Updike sequels?

As you were.
11% of Federal workers are LGBTABC...XYZ 11% of private employees also.
Add &#039;em up, there&#039;s your 22%. Math!
