OBAMA CHEATING SCANDAL

[kimba1]

infidelity.

as a litmus test of who should run for office.

many would agrue it`s totally unrelated to their task on hand . true

but others would say it`s a sign of untrustworthyness.also true.

this is a situation which both are right.

most likely the worst answer to hear by both sides of this topic.

It's only irrelevant to their job in office if they just admit to it. It becomes a liability if they try to keep it a secret.

I said early on that Clinton's best move with Gennifer Flowers was to make an announcement like "Yeah, we're sleeping together, Hillary doesn't care and neither should anyone else." Then Monica wouldn't have been any big deal, because we'd already have known that he had an essentially open marriage.

A US president cannot admit to an open marriage anymore than he can declare that he is an atheist. Get real.

This is a typical tabloid flap, and all I have to say, is who cares? I know I do not. I don't believe it, either. This is more along the lies of the Nostradamus predictions and the tales of Bat Boy than anything credible.

this is a unique quality about infidelity that is rarely talked about.

pretty much it needs to be secret for it to work for some guys or gal
ex. swingers groups has cases of infidelity due to the couples keeping it secret from each other.

meaning an open whatever isn`t always the solution.

President 22 and 24


Grover Cleveland

Children: Three daughters and two sons. His daughter Esther was the only President's child born in the White House. Cleveland was alleged to have a child by a premarital affair with Maria Halpin. He was unsure of the child's paternity but accepted responsibility.

In 1884 Cleveland was nominated by the Democrats to run for President. Thomas Hendricks was chosen as his running mate. His opponent was James Blaine. The campaign was one largely of personal attacks rather than substantive issues. Clevelard narrowly won the election with 49% of the popular vote and while gaining 219 of the possible 401 electoral votes.

Open and upfrount about it , Grover defused the power of the scandal by accepting the responsibility.

The voters forgave , after all , they were all men.

since baby daddies are more socially accepted, do guys still skip?

in my teens I know afew,but nowadays I don`t notice any.

"To counter Cleveland's image of purity, his opponents reported that Cleveland had fathered an illegitimate child while he was a lawyer in Buffalo.  The derisive phrase "Ma, Ma, where's my Pa?" rose as an unofficial campaign slogan for those who opposed him.  When confronted with the emerging scandal, Cleveland's instructions to his campaign staff were: "Tell the truth."  Cleveland admitted to paying child support in 1874 to Maria Crofts Halpin, the woman who claimed he fathered her child named Oscar Folsom Cleveland.  Halpin was involved with several men at the time, including Cleveland's friend and law partner, Oscar Folsom, for whom the child was also named.  Cleveland did not know which man was the father, and is believed to have assumed responsibility because he was the only bachelor among them."

You said almost the exact same thing when the story broke in the National Enquirer
when Democratic Presidential Candidate John Edwards was caught cheating on his
wife that was stricken with cancer.

I don't think I did.
In any case, tabloids are not to be believed until and unless there is better evidence than mere accusations.
