New Right-Wing Talking Point: Homosexuals Buying Their Way Into Obama Administration

Do records showing Kevin Jennings — safe school czar and ire of militant heterosexual parents everywhere — donated huge sums from his six-figure GLSEN salary to Barack Obama‘s presidential campaign and Democratic candidates over the years prove he “bought” his Obama administration job, or prove that the Obama administration hires like-minded talent? John Berry, OPM chief and Obama’s highest-ranking gay, also gave money to the president’s campaign and the DNC. (He’s also donated to George H.W. Bush’s presidential campaign.) Though Obama campaigned on transparency and not paying favors, it’s politics as usual in D.C.: Those who sent checks filled with zeroes are often handsomely rewarded. But it’s surely a coincidence.
