This is starting to sound so much like the Bush years. Kevin Naff has a great piece on the state of our world:
Another kerfuffle erupted when Sarvis said he was excluded from a key White House meeting related to “Don’t Ask” repeal. Several HRC staffers reportedly attended the meeting; it appears that Sarvis wasn’t invited because he had publicly criticized the administration’s handling of the issue. Americablog’s John Aravosis, who was in the audience, angrily denounced Sarvis’ exclusion from the meeting during the radio event.
It's actually mostly about the ineffectiveness of HRC, but do read it -- it's not unfair, just brutally honest.
Here's another dot to connect with the first:
First the rumor. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina are so upset that the gay community is challenging the President's broken promises on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," ENDA, and DOMA that they're now threatening to cut the gay community off entirely, and do nothing more for the gays for the rest of the Obama administration.
John Aravosis is calling this "bullshit," but to be quite honest, the Obama administration has come pretty close to cutting us off already -- I mean, how much have they really done for us so far, besides giving us things we already had? It's not such a far move -- and who knows? Maybe Mitch McConnell will say something nice about him.
