As a penis-bearer, I know how these things happen. It doesn't matter how smart or disciplined a man is, as long as he has one, he's eligible to get in trouble. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.
I don't know why anyone is shocked about General Petraeus. Well, except for Mrs. that is. And maybe she knew. As much as I know about it, he's a powerful man (CIA Director) and he messed around with a nice looking woman who was writing a book about him. The book's title, by the way, "All In". If that doesn't make you giggle, I don't know what will.
This morning I watched "Fox & Friends" to see what sort of a fuss they were making out of it. I already pretty much knew their spin on it would be, well, off-kilter. They just recently lost an election ya know and they're still trying to lose it. The blonde hostess wanted to know: "What did Obama know and when did he know it?"
The same folks who down-play 'his' having killed Osama Bin Laden (turns out Navy SEAL's did the actual 'killing') seem to expect that he should be The Presidential Peeping Tom and looking in bedroom windows, I guess. They are all over the 'timing' of this story and how it relates to their version of the events in Benghazi which, just hasn't caught on like they hoped it would. They see a conspiracy in that. As far as they are concerned, "Hurricane Sandy" should really have been called "Operation Sandy" as it was most likely a plot to usurp Mitt Rmoney's ascension to the White House rather any ol' weather system. Their other big story is how FEMA and the Obama government are 'failing' with their handling of the storms aftermath. Turns out it's not perfect. Well, shit, compared to Katrina... "WHEN DID OBAMA KNOW ABOUT THIS 'STORM'..."
Sheesh. If these knuckleheads can't comprehend storms, how could we expect them to understand penis's and their rather obvious fit with lady parts? Storms happen. So does sex. There IS often conspiracy with the latter but, storms general require severe changes in barometric pressure or God being angry with gay people. Something like that.
Much of life is simply ironic timing. Shit happens. It happens when it happens, sometimes with curious coincidence.
Petraeus stepping down as CIA director doesn't mean he can't testify about Benghazi even if Fox thinks it's some kind magic cloak of invincibility available only to 2nd term black democrat Presidents. Nope. The interim guy can testify to the same knowledge as he can. Or, he can. Regardless, neither will testify to the facts as seen by Fox so, more conspiracy after this word from our sponsors...
Fox is very hard to please. They spend years telling the nuts that listen to them that 'big government is evil and YOU don't want it' and then, as soon as people need big government, they complain that people need big government but, it turns out, big government is inept.
Well, Sandy was a big deal. Lot's of damage. It affected millions of people. Such a storm can do incredible damage in such a short amount of time. It can take months to build a house and 30 minutes to destroy it. Such is the timing in life. It takes time to rebuild. Duh.
Fox and their friends should know this. They've been tearing down America daily for years now. We the people keep rebuilding though, despite them and because of them. It's what we do.

I think Obama likely knew about Petraeus before the election. And so what? Considering how crazy we all get when a public figure does something naughty (in this case, the gal is writing his biography - irresistible!) why would Obama risk losing the election over another tawdry affair?
I think it sucks that Petraeus had to resign over it.
I don't think that would have cost Obama the election. The storm didn't cost Rmoney the election. Having no public or viable plan was Rmoney's undoing and that was evident months ago. Certainly Fox would have made a big deal about it regardless but, they are wearing thin even with their minions, I think.
Of course you're right and what I said was reckless. I guess what I meant is it may have made it more difficult...
I remember the last debate - the only one I was able to watch. Romney clearly had no plan, and I remember how unsettling it was to listen to his foreign policy. That was a little scary
I can't say it enough: Thank God.
It's still a valid point though, Barbi. If Obama knew of the affair before the election, what could he have done? Marital counseling is not part of his job description! I just don't think it would have had an impact on the election. And what could he do- fire the guy for getting some? Fox and all are making the most of a silly situation.
