Petraeus...

Obama didn't cause Petraeus to exercise poor judgement but the timing of the matter is very odd and lets not forget that the President is responsible as he himself has said many times though usually while deflecting the blame elsewhere.

Would it have cost Obama the election? Highly doubtful but i'm sure this story would have been spun far more aggresively had it occured during the election media frenzy as opposed to during the victory lap.

sorry, just don't see that it is a big coverup. if the media isn't making a big deal about the actual attack, with supposed real time knowledge but no action, i don't see why petraus dipping his wick was something to worry about. besides, most people didn't think it was a big deal about clinton, so how could it be with the general?
and he will still be compelled to testify, regardless of whether he is in or out of the cia. i think there would have been something to it had the other woman been a libyan terrorist. other than that, it's just the latest fodder for folks who watch that pageant kid.

and yeah, you're right about the tmz-ization of america. and it's embarrassing.
