Don’t know, but certainly she has followed her own advice and made a difference in life - of all America for that matter...

I was wondering what they had over him.

Let's see....Head of CIA resigns in the middle of investigation of killing of 4 americans.

Sounds like a bus ride to me.

I'm almost wondering if there really was an affair....or just a relationship.

Don't be surprised if they find him in Marcy Park.

The most highly educated slut since Sandra Flake?

Broadwell's passion for leadership

That's appropriately at the top of her resume.

I think he was being blackmailed into doing something he didn’t agree with—So he went public to give the blackmailers nothing to use on him. Look to see the MSM paint him as a terrible, untrustworthy, blackguard, that way anything he says will not be believed and the Liberal agenda will go sailing along!

Sorry...I’m not buying the “sex” part of this. Appealing to the lowest common demoninator of the Obot “base” it’s easy to claim an affair....it’s so very Kardashian. What if the smoke and mirrors are just that...and this is one more distraction/diversion to keep the public eye off of Benghazi (the “scandal” then is NOT what happened in Benghazi, it’s what happened between the 2 of the .

Like the anti Muslim film as reason for attack was a convient lie, so cod be the pretty biographer and the general—convient distraction from truth.

A traitorous fool and a whore. Now the fool owes US the truth about Benghazi ... but since he thinks with his dick, the truth is probably the last thing he could find to adhere to.

I bet that Obama appoints a woman to replace Petraeus, too.

Just the job for Susan Rice!

The extramarital affair story is cover for getting Petraeus off the CIA Director position so he does not testify Thursday in a closed-door hearing of the House Intelligence Committee.

Judging from the posts on this thread, the affair story makes an effective diversion from the real effort of coverup being played out by the Zer0 Regime.
