How can anyone here even think the Enquirer story has any truth

to it?

Without empirical proof, I'm calling the whole thing bunk.

It suddenly comes up, just before the WH Correspondents Dinner? Give me a break, to obvious. This has RW hack job written all over it. Some stupid crackhead Wingnut came up with this "bombshell", and it is a dud.

How come bush never had a "sex scandal"? Oh wait, it was bush, damn stupid SOB couldn't find his putz and had to call in the SS to help him take a leak!

This is a non-issue, something that did not happen, and since the birthers are losing on all fronts, the oil spill in the Gulf belongs to bush's lackadaisical attitudes on policy that might have prevented this, (and the deaths of 29 miners in W.VA)...they need to hang something on PO. This is what they thought they had...and it is pure bullshit.

Come on people, let it go, With all of the real things going on. people think this has merit?

OK...rant off...:rant:

:hi:

edited, dumb typo's...:blush:

:hi:

There are Republican operatives offering a million dollars for any evidence of Obama having an affair trying to dig up any dirt whatsoever in an attempt to smear the President.

Beyond that, it gets shady.

they brought Clinton down and it's the only play in their playbook that worked.

They don't get it and they never will.

They didn't bring Clinton down. IIRC, he was acquitted, AND his approval ratings went UP during the Lewinsky scandal/impeachment. He left office with a 66% approval rating.

But, yes, this is the same old republican shit. I guess they think they'll have better luck with it when it involves a black man. They guess wrong.

it's volume fluctuates, but it is always there...waiting for the slightest "reason" to rear it's ugly head.

A black president has not bought he nation to it's knees...in fact, a seriously flawed caucasian president did that.

For some, it is beyond their perception that a black person may be intellectually or morally capable of being in a position of power. I wonder just how many of these people think a non-politician is somehow, "unfit". Take Neil deGrasse Tyson, one of the greatest astrophysicists, I guess these mental midgets think that because he's black, he somehow can't "possibly" head the Hayden Planetarium of know what he's talking about.

Sometime, during my life, I'd love to see these stereotypical traps torn apart once and for all...:hi:

:hi:

prints has any truth. Which is why I don't read it. I didn't know about this until I read it here. The source is dubious and it is nobody else's business what Obama's marriage is like, but if the point you're trying to make is that it is unbelievable just because it is Obama, then you might think again. No one is perfect and you're better off going with the fact that the source is questionable.

any serious attention from me. Remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

idiots come up with to attack the President on his greatest strengths.

Actually there were stories in those fish wraps about gw and pickles..condi, whatever..they were linked at DU.

You missed 'em..darn.

but I realized the possibility of bush "getting any" was ridiculous...:evilgrin:

I agree with everything you've said here...

something going on way before Obama even thought about running.

You need the other side to admit it, and she doesn't seem willing to play ball. I doubt an educated career woman would want Lewinsky's life.


I hope it's not true, but I really don't have that kind of faith in any person to say it's 100% false.

After all the accused Clinton of, it was a sex scandal that they nailed him with.

He came out of that with higher approval ratings than when he went in.

He was just not convicted by the Senate.

what the House did was deplorable, it was standard RW stupidity, and it cost them in the long run...:D

Dumb politics has a Payment Plan attached to it. Gingrich left in disgrace, the "Hammer" may yet see prison time... and a host of others went down as well...:D

have gotten something out during the election.

that's when they would have gotten some benefit from it by defeating him.

they can't find anyone. They are scrapping from before he was even a US Senator and coming up empty handed. Shocking.

when I see the "whitey tape" first

Outrageous lie.

And somebody is likely to fake "evidence" just to cash in on the reward.

Now you've got me worried :P

the "Obama Girl" when asked about her - because he thought this type of humor was insensitive to his wife's feelings...and he wishes people would be more considerate of her in the future....

paraphrasing...of course, and I don't remember when he said this or to whom...

after she managed to see something about it on the news which pissed off both Barack and Michelle. I think they said something about being considerate of the families of candidates.

I ask one and all: would a clearly intelligent man make this woman angry?



Yes, the first lady seems very sweet. But I have a hunch she's a woman no one would dare cross. I sense an underlying fierceness there. Further, she's usually seen "properly" dressed, but when she's casual, it's clear she's actually, um, sorta cute:



So, my reason to disbelieve this rumor: c'mon, the President already has a hottie, and he just doesn't seem stupid enough to blow it.

but Michelle would no doubt in my mind kick his butt...and President Obama simply is not stupid..

Ever wonder why none of his previous GF before Michelle have never come forward?

most women I've spoken to would sell their souls to have her smile.

Both of them have something in their eyes the bush's lacked, intellect...:D

...please, let's not perpetuate the myth that attractive, smart, butt-kicking women never, ever get cheated on.

It's been proven time and time again that a wife doesn't have to be stupid, weak or ugly to have her husband cheat on her.

Again, I repeat: that doesn't mean I believe any crap that anyone might attempt to peddle in this situation. I'm just saying, it's stupid to imply a man would never cheat on his wife because she's too smart/hawt/etc. to cheat on or that he wouldn't do it because she'd kick his ass if he did.

I have nothing but the greatest respect of MO and PO.

Possibilities are always a situation that can come to fruition, but in this case, I find it difficult to believe that there is anything to the situation. I stand by my original statement, that w/o empirical proof, I find this an absurdity.

Heck, it was said that J Edgar Hoover was buried in his favorite print and pumps, but unless they exhume him, and prove it to me, I'll go with his usual suit. Point is, some people will say anything to get the ball rolling. Others will take it up and move it to supersonic speed, even if there is nothing there...it is a favorite RW tactic.

moved out of the Whitehouse into the nearby Mayflower hotel..?

American Media, which owns the tabloids National Enquirer, has published details of the George W. Bush-Condoleezza Rice relationship and his problems with First Lady Laura Bush in the current, June 26, 2006 issue of The Globe.

he would not wear a print to a funeral
i say a basic black formal and not too slutty pumps
dont want jesus getting the wrong first impression you know

very disturbing.

He was an incredibly ugly fellow...damn, he looked bad in a suit!

What I am saying is that a man who does cheat on a woman with possibly a formidable temper would be stupid. Not that she's too smart to be victimized; anyone can be victimized. Rather that Obama seems too smart to make this mistake.

See?

In the 60s and 70s it was called an open marriage. Folks get less worried about such things now.

we really don't, but there are many "holier than thou" types who are more than happy to condemn a president, especially a D president.

Odd how the R's can carry on with impunity...think of Gingrich slapping divorce papers on his wife while she is recovering from cancer surgery...he made a special trip to do that. A slkight uproar, and that was it. Clinton gets receives fellatio in the WH and you'd think he set fire to 100 people all wrapped in flags.

Larry Craig has a hankering for BR sex, he says he's staying on...and the R's consider him some kind of hero...:wtf: To be sure, I'm all for people having sex, but there is something particularly gross, (at least to me), about seeking a shot in a public BR...x(

Folks like Craig and Gingrich profess to be following a traditional Christian 20th century standard, and they push that standard in their political agenda.

Obama does not push that same agenda, nor should we expect him to follow it.

Paul Newman said that regarding rumors he was cheating on Joanne Woodward

There is *always* a trumped up scandal in which "they are searching for the video."

in love with one another!! You can't FAKE that!

:thumbsup:

"story?" They tried to peddle this crap during the primaries, it was bullshit then and it's bullshit now. You had the Larry Sinclair story, and Pres. Obama's supposed involvement in a gay church member's murder. All through the primaries and the general they pushed this shit. I remember being in the grocery story and all the rags had some version of all these stories.

They hate the fact that in his personal life, the most dirt they can come up with is he smoked weed in college. This has turd blossom's rank smell all over it. Friggin' sore losers.

Obama looks unbeatable to their sorry, substance-free asses, so it's back to smear, the only thing they know.

it's all out of the Joseph Goebbels playbook, it's all they have...:hi:

:hi:

dirt and want to do Obama like they did Edwards. It's not going to work.

even to the point of bathroom liaisons or wearing diapers w/hookers...go figure.

And even if he did. I don't care if Michele is with it so am I.Our President could change the world in one day and they would say it was too swift,lets slow down and start over.If he took ten years they would say the situation was critical and he was slow to respond.And if its true that the repugs have been offering a million dollars for dirt on President Obama, hell in a recession, no wonder they think he is an alien!!!!!!!!!:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The notion that the president is somehow a step above us regular human beings is a thing of the past. Modern day media and the rapidity of information flow has broken down the barriers of idealism.

for the 19th time

:eyes:

Some sad ass posters here to be sure.

is too much.

and they'll believe anything that casts him in a negative light

I just don't care. That's between him and his wife.

a reasonable doubt; no matter who they might be. Just my opinion, but I do not consider the Enquirer a source of legitimate information...then again, it's better than Weekly World News...:D

maybe never...

:P

in the laughable hope it'll make Edwards look a teensy bit less smarmy.

The NE is a gossip rag - now sometimes gossip can be true - as it was with Limbaugh and drugs and Edwards.

Edwards, in a way, was a special case. In late 2006, a more quasi - reputable source, Salon(?) had a story that really did bring up questions. They had the outlines of the affair and they spoke of the videos Rielle made. The Edwards campaign immediately disappeared the videos. To me, that led to some suspicions - that were minimized when people who knew something of the K/E campaign, who did not like Edwards, said it was unlikely. He was faithful to Elizabeth.

My guess is that there was enough there to interest someone in the media to at least question it. Compare how much detail they had versus the story that the media did cover in 2004 until it became clear that the affair with an intern story had no affair and the woman was not an intern. I suspect that this was because editors and reporters had sufficient decency and compassion for Elizabeth. In addition, the media genuinely liked the Edwardses, especially in 2004 - 2006 - and this was not something in their picture of him. (the old thing where had Clinton misspelled potato - it would not have been a story because there was no belief that he was dumb.)

So, that left the NE, which always was a bottom feeder.

"Conspiracy Theories I have loved and known"

Complete with chapters from the "whitey Tape" and a foreword from Larry Sinclair.

NEED.TO.GET.A.LIFE!!!!111!!!

about an alleged and denied "liason" SIX YEARS ago when he was running for the Senate in 2004.
Vera Baker denied that anything happened between her and Obama.
Then despite chasing down the rumor, neither the major networks nor the political opposition could not find anyone who could corroborate it or saw any suggestive behavior behavior between the two.
The article did not say anything about him fooling around since he became president, which makes it all the more pointless to bring the same disproven crap up again.
Except the point is that people in many quarters will do ANYTHING to discredit President Obama and the story claims that anti-Obama forces are offering $1 million to anyone who can "prove" the affair.

The Enquirer had him and Condoleezza Rice doing the hucklebuck.
