I think if Obama had a scandal it would be out by now.
=====================================

Say that to John Edwards!

I see you've done some editing since you first wrote:

That's a good start. Now all you need to do is add a link showing us which media is reporting this. Because we check (and try to make it a legitimate source if you can--we're familiar with most of the media around here).

To answer your question... Edwards' affair was known for a long time. The only reason that it's a big deal right now is he finally admitted what people have known for months, anyway.

Meanwhile, Hawaii does not have an invisibility shield. Obama can just as easily be quoted there as he can in the continental united states. And yes... if he happens to do something horrible like shoot a bunch of tourists with a spear gun it would probably affect the dnc. Somehow, I don't think that's likely. (But you can enjoy the fantasy, if you wish.)

If Obama was caught in a major scandal I would stop coming to this forum because the whole first page would be threads all about the same topic full of misspelled words and big red bold letters.

The cards aren't there and she would still need to get past the Chairs from the DNC and they're not buying. What was done is done.

I agree but it seems that she nor her husband have accepted that it's over.
Its like she is a vulture waiting to see if she can still feed.

I wonder just how much Obama needs her.

I have never met Obama nor his wife but suspect Obam's wife can't stand her. I once supported her and sick of her .
She acts like a spoiled ,vindictive child. Glad Obama is the Dem candidate.

Which media outlets are reporting this?

What would happen if McCain was caught in a major scandal before the Republican Convention?

OP, there's sort of a policy that if you make a claim and dont back it up with at least a link, readers wont take your posts seriously. Make sense?

[quote=Luiso;4843179]I think if Obama had a scandel it would be out by now.

I do think Hillary has become a huge pain in the ### with her "I will support you BUT I want this and that" nonsense and I wonder if he isnt better off not bothering with her.

Her die hard supporters at this point arent going to support him anyway . Look at mid Florida where Mccain is ahead and that's a Dem area.



PUMA~~~~~~~~
how dare Hillary's supporters speak out, my gosh, who the hell do they think they are!!!
Everyone should just get on the Obama train, right??
Yeah, look at FLA and MI where Obama did not think any vote should count, except now when he needs them.
Get over it, we are not going any where except to the polls in NOV to cast our vote.

you got a problem with it, deal with it.

Do you think Hillary gives a flip about Michelle Obama?
Come NOV Obama is going to wish he had help from Hillary and her supporters.

Scandal, do you say scandal?

I think everything Obama does is a scandal.

I agree above, if his popularity continues to fall, he is finally exposed for what he is then the DNC has no choice but to drop him. He couldn't even win the most votes within his own party.

Hillary voters are not voting for Obama, they either are going to write her in or vote for the President, McCain!

Don't worry, his skeletons are falling out of that large closet. One will fall that will finally do him in. And he has more closets full of them.

This is for natalie - DUMP OBAMA BEFORE HE DUMPS ON YOU!
