Keep in mind this isn't just any old husband. This is or I should say was the director of the CIA. What if this had been a spy from China - Russia or name your country. What if it turns out his affair led to classified information leaking? If he will cheat on what should be the most holy and trustworthy relationship of his life how can he be trusted with the secrets of our country. If he is not trustworthy in one area he is not trustworthy in any contex

Smile all you want with your witticism. The "P" is YOUR PRESIDENT. Show respect, please.

ON the topic, others of us want to focus on how national security--knowingly compromised--may well have been kept under the rug for the sake of campaigning.

The FBI has repeatedly said the White House was never advised of the Petraeus investigation because national security was never compromised. You are saying "national security---knowingly compromised--may well have been kept under the rug for the sake of campaigning". What do you know that the FBI doesn't know, and why didn't Rep Eric Cantor advise the White House when he was made aware of this information two weeks before the election?

President Obama is about to pardon a turkey for Thanksgiving. So, the real question is "what does the turkey know about Benghazi"?

I applaud Cantor for not making this a political issue. When notified of the investigation, he went directly to the DIRECTOR of the FBI to insure that he was aware of this.

It does not appear to be Cantors job to advise the WH of what the FBI is doing or not doing, as he is not privy to all the facts, but checking the validity before making it a political football seems to be the right course of action.

And Cantor was not alone by the way.....he did NOT make this a political football an that I applaud

FACTS coming to light does seem to be a problem lately does it not

Shame but watching the news gets you NO news.....just a lot of questions and nobody wants to take the time to inform us !

You will just have to guess or look through the "transparencies" !!

I have given up on watching or reading the news because nobody answers any questions !!

Reported cases were up 87 percent among those 55 and older in those counties.

In Central Florida, where The Villages and other retirement communities sprawl across several counties, reported cases of syphilis and chlamydia increased 71 percent among those 55 and older in that same period. And South Florida saw a 60 percent rise in those two sexually transmitted infections among the same age group, according to the Florida Department of Health.

In Riverside County, Calif., home to retirement Mecca Palm Springs, reported cases were up 50 percent over the five-year span, according to data from that county's health department. The reported cases of syphilis and chlamydia among older adults outpaced the nation's average, according to the analysis.

Among all age groups nationwide, reported cases of syphilis increased 60 percent between 2005 and 2009, while in the 55 to 64 age group it increased 70 percent. Meanwhile, the incidences of chlamydia rose 27 percent among all ages, and double that among those age 55 to 64.

Your "context" only goes to prove my point and expands my point to show that this travesty is not only bad in TV, but in many other 55+ communities as well. So sad. Thanks for proving my point!

The context I provided shows that in TV, the rate of increase was almost the same (71%) as the national rate (70%). In other words TV is about the same as the rest of the nation for this age group, and the claims against TV are exagerrated.

So now we learn the General thought Bengazi was a terrorist attack from the beginning and the original CIA talking points said as much. BUT, somewhere down the line someone changed the wording in the talking points to eliminate "terrorist attack" because of classified information. Petraeus said he doesn't think this was changed for polictical reasons, but can we believe him now that we know he cheats?

He fell in love with his biographer and acting on those emotions. That is a far cry now to say that he would do something that sounds treasonous. Doing something like leaking sensitive classified would go against his education and career history.

Was this a love triangle or more of a love pentagon?

Love is keeping your marriage vows in good times and in bad. I don't see love in this series of events.
