When I first met the woman who became my wife, I was highly motivated to keep her, because she was the most wonderful, beautiful, decent woman I had ever met. As we began to know one another, I told her that I didn't want to dwell on one another's past, because the past simply was not relevant to the now. It may have seemed like a noble, romantic gesture on my part, but it was purely selfish. I had been a bit of a man-whore in my younger days and did NOT want it to affect any possible future with her. Barak Obama lit upon the political scene with gossamer wings and halo in tow, proclaiming a new day and an end to "politics as usual". His entire campaign has been built upon the promise of a more civil tone in politics, with an eye FIRMLY on the future while trying to minimize the past (unless of course when referring to injustices perpetrated on minorities by Chrisians/Whites/Conservatives) . This is indeed a noble gesture on the surface, but as time has revealed the true Obama, we can now clearly see that his desire to stay away from "gotcha" politics is purely selfish. Obama has a history of choosing to associate with some of the most vile, racist, America-hating extremists to come down the pike in quite some time. Despite the spin from the media, this IS an issue that concerns the American people. Personally, I do not mind dirty, bloody political campaigns, as they have a habit of separating the wheat from the chaff. My personal message to Obama or anyone who wants to be the Presiden of this great nation: You are applying for the single most important job in the world. You have no right to privacy. You should expect no more respect than you give to the people you want to represent (or in the case of Obama, "lord over"). This is a tough game, for tough people. If you can't stand the heat, grab your purse and GO HOME.... Thanks for your indulgence, Maverick68
Maverick68: Vying for the title of having posted the longest paragraph in FR history. LOL
Beautifully put.
How did you get the women to pay you? :)
Obama needs to pull up his big girl panties and deal with it.
Just let me eat my waffle.
Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who.
very good analogy. The past is important, and even in this case, what is being cast as the past is really the present. He has (not had) a 20 year relationship with Wright. He has (not had) a relationship with Ayers. These are all current relationships he maintains concurrently as he attempts to become President. These are the men who influence him and his decisions, and disqualify him for the job.
I am so sorry. I thought I had formatted it before I sent it, but apparently not! My bad!
I was just joking.
Not even close!
Oh, I didn’t take it the wrong way. However, it does drive me crazy when folks post and don’t break it down into more easily digestible pieces.....I’m Guilty!

Don't get me wrong. I'm not sticking up for Shillery, no, not for one second. Her temper is just as unbecoming. That has been proven a hundred times over. That's what her 35 years of, um, experience has done for her as well. I would feel the same if Nobama did it to anyone while presenting himself for the office of anything. But President, what next. And there will be many more slips that show exactly who and what he is. Not here. Not in America. We have so many who would never do this sort of thing. Men who have class. Men who honor America with the utmost respect. They sing the Anthum, wear the flag pin and put their hand over their heart when saying the Pledge. Besides his socialistic/communistic far leanings, he's a jackass to boot. Let's make sure he get's the boot. VOTE all you conservatives. Off and On. Off your dead asses and on your feet to the polls Nov. 4th.
He's pure JERK.
What, are you suggesting that Obama was a man-whore in his younger years and doesn’t want Mrs. Obama to know about it?
I agree that the main function of Obama’s “new tone” is to shield his dubious far-left past from critical scrutiny. Forget the “new tone” — it’s time to let the public know who Obama really is.
99% of all politicians are Political Whores.
... and the other 1% isn’t to be trusted.
And besides all of that, what makes the difference if 99% is an accurate number. What, do we need a President who's one too. Let IL. work it out in their state, not the White House where the damage goes up exponentially. Are you saying it's OK to be a man whore because 99% of politicians are? That's a weak statement at best. It only proves that we, conservatives, have to get off our dead butts and set about finding conservatives to elect in Congress, State gov't and certainly the executive branch. And let's not leave out the judges either.
No, I’m not saying that it’s o.k. to be a “man whore” because 99% of all politicians are. I’m saying: “Where is Ronald Reagan when you need him? With the thousands of politicians there are out there, we should be able to find that one in one hundred to carry the Conservative Banner.
What I’m saying is, the “non-political whores” are in the extreme minority.
What say ye? Yea or nay?
