I guess we shouldn't be too surprised that a man who cares so little for children that he wouldn't think it important that they have safe schools and useable text books would not give much thought to his own 4 little children.

Sometimes we all just need to get away from it all for a little bit. We shouldn't fault a person for doing that.

I agree though that he should have at least notified his family and transferred power temporarily to Lt. Gov until his return.

The issue is not him taking time off. Read through the thread.
Not that it matters,because you just seem to want to assume he is pulling a John Edwards or something.

"He was writing something and wanted some space to get away from the kids," Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press while vacationing with the couple's four sons at their Sullivans Island beach house. She said she didn't know where he was, but wasn't concerned.
The liberals were probaly more concerned than his wife lol

Do you think Sanford's wife knew where he was but she just didn't want to tell the media?

It's so funny that you right wingers bash Obama, who's a good dad, and defend this guy, who runs out on his family and has to be covered up for. Until his story falls apart, that is...then you'll attack the reporters who uncover the truth.

Funny, I mean sickening.

Nice word games.

Who is bashing Obamas parenting on this thread?

Are you so myopic that you can not see that not just liberals are taken aback by this? A man disappears for days, doesn't tell his wife, with whom he has 4 children, where he is going or when he will be back. Oh, and he happens to run a state.

And I never implied that he was off doing something salacious.

Yes I see how you have given the situation and the Governor the benefit of the doubt.
Myopic? Thats been your game on this thread.You can't see past your partisan nose.

How are they word games? Obama *is* a good dad. This other guy put himself ahead of his kids, on Father's Day weekend...didnt even check in for four days. It's amazing to see you people defend that, or pretend it didnt happen. I do look forward to the frantic spin to come though, and its unraveling....should be funny.
