We’ve already forgotten about the NY Times accusing McCain of an affair right after he secured the nomination.

A couple weeks after they endorsed him over Rudy.

If I’ m not mistaken Robert Downey Jr. has converted to a conservative. If I’m incorrect I’ll stand corrected. Please someone with the “proper paygrade” help me here.

All I know is Cindy showed up at the 9/11 ceremony today with great respect, humility, and grace and Michelle was no where to be seen.

I didn't see the full ceremony but the one clip I saw was interesting. When Obama, McCain and Cindy went to add their roses to the thousand others Obama gaves his a nice little toss and then both McCain and Cindy gently placed theirs. Small thing, maybe picky because some need to be tossed but since the area in general was already covered there were no gaps to fill. Check it out and see if you sense the same flippancy by Obama.

Obama wouldn't shake hands with the uniformed fireman or with the construction worker with the American flag hardhat. What Americans noticed was a man uncomfortable with a full throated display of patriotism. He's clearly not presidential material!

Yup... beating up on the other woman wasn’t working, so let’s go after the quiet one.

Yes, that was a mistake. The 09/11 ceremonies are important. 09/11 is still a very big deal in people’s minds. Michelle made it rather clear how important she thought the memorial was. It’s just more proof that those two don’t really respect our nation and it’s citizens.

Her first comment that I became aware of was the one of her being proud of the U.S. for the first time in her life, because her husband was getting the Democrat nomination. Talk about a shallow empty vessel...

Obama disregard for the memorial and his refusal to shake hands with the people there showed a lack of class. I don't want a man who shows no respect for our country's suffering to be my President!

It would be interesting if some audio or video were to show up with Wright making some God awful comments in church, with Obama sitting there with a big smile on his mug.

Some people are just easily addicted to pain killers like morphine and its analogs. When they are prescribed for them things can easily get out of control. Happened to Rush after they were prescribed to him for his back problem.

My mom was prescribed Vicodin. it had no effect on her except alleviation of pain...she took as few as possible not wanting to get hooked she said...but they did not seem to have any mood elevating effect on her. I took 2 once when I wrenched my knee...seemed only slightly more powerful than Tylenol...and again no mood changes. Just genetic difference I suppose. They did make my ears ring for some reason though.

I believe you are correct. I honestly don’t think there isn’t one person in this country who doesn’t personally know someone who has gone through something similar. I know at least 3 myself — all who had problems with pain killers after car accidents, surgery, etc...

Well, this story came out at the time that clinton called off the DEA and ordered any charges to be dropped against Cindy. I had expected that the MSM would make a big issue of it at some point this fall.

I doesn’t show Cindy in a good light, certainly. But Obama had better not go there, or someone might ask him about HIS snorting habits. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Also, it’s interesting that the ComPost is breaking this story NOW, presumably on orders from the DNC. I would have expected it to be an October surprise, so McCain would have less time to respond to it—the way they broke the Bush DUI story at the last minute.

What I think this says is that someone at the DNC has decided, well, it’s “now or never.” Obama is collapsing, and unless they can halt the damage soon, it would be too late to do anything to reverse it. So, they are forced to break it sooner than planned.

A good sign, in a way.

How about we let some reporters delve into Obama’s drug use?

They're not about to delve into anything regarding the Obamarama.

First, Obombi is denying access to anything that might be pertinent to his "achievements".

Second, the MSM types know that they've rendered nothing but B.J.'s unto B.H.O. They would look ludicrous now to suddenly uncover a major problem for THE ONE.
