Will the next CIA Chief be Russian or Chinese? Maybe Arab?

Now that the President has more flexibility, he stands ready to take Vladimir's advice.

Everyone assumes that he had the extra marital affair. Anyone consider it might be his wife that had one? Funny how it is naturally assumed it is the man at fault. (not saying it isn’t, just noticing the trend)

Exactly! We’re about to experience Jimmy Carter’s second term. Heaven help us all.

Probably went more like this ...”you have a beautiful family general ... would be a shame if anything were to happen to them ... oh BTW we need you to resign and this is how we will do it” ....

Yes, sex with Obama was in very bad taste.

Read the letter posted here on this thread

“After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair.”

No, no, no. Valdemort would NEVER leave the Oval Office. She is the defacto pResident.

A Friday afternoon “dump.” Just as Benghazi is heating up? Doesn’t pass the smell test. Something is awfully rotten above and beyond Benghazi.

This “affair” seems small (given the loss of 4 Americans) but its like one more little bit of mortar coming out of the Obama Firewall. No doubt more to come...it’s only 3:30 in DC.

It is strange that Hillary, Holder, and Petreaus are all leaving or in the process of leaving. Is it the rats fleeing the ship before the crap hits the fan or did the boss give them their walking papers? We should all be suspicious. It’s not like the Sec of Ag or Interior submitting their resignations. These are big time cabinet posts and the people who led them would have some knowledge of what happened in Benghazi.

We’re in for a bumpy four years and this Benghazi incident is about to blow up. So much for the hopes of a smooth second term.

Romney was winning, until Obama coined the term "Romneysia"; that was the turning point, after that the momentum shifted back to Obama.

Of course every primary voter had ample evidence Romney was a serial flip-flopper, not to mention his ties to many failed companies which made easy fodder for ads accusing him of layoffs, hurting the middle class, the same ads Kennedy killed him with in 1994.

Nevertheless the voters nominated him because Coulter, Drudge, Medved, Prager, Bennett, Krauthammer, etc. all pushed him, often backing him up on his assertion that he was a "severe conservative," just what we needed. Now that he lost, some of these same people are calling for the party to become moderate, despite Romney agreeing with Obama half the time in the debates.

Actually, who’s to say there was an affair at all? Perhaps he made up the story, cleared it with the wife, and is using it as a pretext to get out of the Obama cabinet before the SHTF.

Uh no...They'd never involve a wife like that, as the potential for an ugly "reveal all, spill the beans" divorce are always present.

Next step is if he plans to testify truthfully to threaten his family. He stays quiet or someone dies. Isn’t that the way it is done? Or maybe he has already lost someone.

My guess and it is just a guess, is that they have been holding this over his head for a while and that is the reason that he accepted the CIA post, when he really wanted to resign.
