Yeah, but that story was helped along by John Edwards campaign staff who were aghast the guy seriously thought he could live two lives (Elizabeth and mistress) yet be President of the United States and nothing would come out about it. I give them credit for putting country before their man.

The right is pretty bereft of campaign planks right now. Dropping dollars trolling for mistresses is pretty standard political fare. John McCain was hit with the same during the GOP primary season last election.

more important that story contained specific verifiable facts. as opposed to being a story about people trying to find specific verifiable facts.

i don't know why no one seems to notice the difference.

You want people to pay attention to verifiable facts? That is so old-fashioned

I give you, "The Creation Museum" ("creation, evolution, science, dinosaurs") which now proudly boasts 1 million visitors.

"The state-of-the-art 70,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life, casting its characters and animals in dynamic form and placing them in familiar settings. Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden. Children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden’s Rivers. The serpent coils cunningly in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Majestic murals, great masterpieces brimming with pulsating colors and details, provide a backdrop for many of the settings."

The more I think about it, in my fantasyland, I hope this is totally true.

He gets caught cheating, family woman Sarah Palin uses it to blast him and climb her way to the GOP nomination, every teabagger's mouth starts instantly frothing, and then the country votes and the tally confirms that Sarah Palin is still the only thing people are more afraid of than a Black Muslim Socialist Philanderer, I think I would probably die of smug pleasure. Like actually spontaneously combust from sheer hilarity and righteousness.

Even if it is true, it isn't going to topple Obama. It would be a major distraction, but those that love him will continue to do so. Cheating allegations with some pretty good proof before Clinton's first and second election and during his time in office didn't hurt him one little bit.

This Obama "affair" supposedly happened in 2004 - well before he was President, but during the time he was an elected U. S. Senator. I would think this would be the death knell of NE if they don't have substantive proof of the allegation.

I'll readily admit that what goes on in marriages is strictly between the spouses. But somehow someway I have it in my head that men and women seeking public endorsement to an office of TRUST should be held to the light of a heavier candle.

It would seem that some pre-set excuses are being made by a lot of you even before allegations are proven or not.

I don't trust any man or woman who cheats on their spouses. If they're capable of cheating in marriage, they're quite capable of cheating at anything. Get a divorce or don't get married if it's in your nature to cheat.

Yeah, I know - it's 2010. Times change. Sad!

In all honesty, did I miss the "pre-set excuses" in this thread? Can you show me them?

Pretty much all the chorus line is saying is "hey Doreen, I doubt this is true....and if it is, guess what? It's none of my business."

Those are not "excuses," they're people who think that other folks' are entitled to having certain portions of their private lives remain private...yes, even the President, Tiger Woods, and Bill Clinton. Not everyone is a huge fan of water cooler gossip. Do your job. If you can't keep your $hit in your pants, that's between you and your wife, as long as it's not affecting your job, which a 2004 affair certainly wouldn't, you know, unless someone was going around trying to craft another "pre-set" list of reasons why BO should be hated that have nothing to do with his job performance.
