If her “sexual orientation” doesn’t matter, why post a blog entry about it??

Go listen to some obama speeches or read his books.

Hey, no big deal. He’s a Boomer. He’s the 3rd Boomer we’ve had as Pres and they’ve all been drug abusers. Maybe we should stop electing these idiots.

#28, Cow-Paddy,

So Obama was a “coke head”? Would you care to back up your claim. Of course, you do realize there is a difference between someone who has tried a drug and someone who is addicted.

All politicians from both parties should be held to the same standard. The sooner we realize it is not Democrat vs Republican, but citizens against government, the better off we will be.

Do you mean things like Sarah Palin’s two grand kids? Or how about John McCain screwing another woman while his wife is gravely injured and in the hospital? Or Larry Craig toe tapping in a public washroom? Or Newt Gingrich nor only screwing his secretary, but serving divorce papers on his wife, right after cancer surgery, in the hospital? Or George Bush drinking himself stupid.

I have a difficult time accepting that these things had any effect on your thinking.

You are right, Atlanta never had a Mayor Jeffery Dahmer. My point is what do we really know about any of the people we elect? In way too many cases a “R” or “D” is all that matters.

I’ve found that you can tell a lot about people just observing the way they live. It’s just basic common sense not to make the private life of politicians out-of-bounds.

Mayor Jeffery Dahmer

I didn’t know Atlanta ever had a Jeffery Dalmer for a mayor. Criminal acts have always been a police matter. If he is arrested and jailed then of course he becomes incapable of performing his job as mayor.

But it is none of my business to know if he (or any politician) has been married x number of times or walks around his house nude. Although I do care about those not paying their taxes, I am more interested in if they take money from the public trough.

this is about as newsworthy as Obama being left handed.

>>Her personal life is none of my business. What she does in office is.

That’s not a very good method of judging a politician. I suppose under that criteria the private life of Mayor Jeffery Dahmer wouldn’t have mattered as long as Atlanta was running smooth.

Judging from the tax cheats and scoundrels now in office perhaps it’s time for a new criteria that includes looking into the private lives of those with the power to rob us blind.

‘Cepting, of course, as long as she doesn’t cross any generally accepted unacceptable lines in her personal life. I’m thinking really degenerate stuff like, I dunno, more than one wife, that sort of thing.

Iceland’s economy was riding extremely high on the insane financial bubble (it put our own “irrational exuberance” to shame), and consequently has fallen correspondingly low in the subsequent collapse. If the people if Iceland can salvage some measure of prosperity from it all, there is some hope for the U.S. and for the rest of Europe. Best of luck to Ms. Sigurdardottir and all the Icelanders.

I am an Icelander and really could not care less about our prime ministers sexuality. I want a way out of our financial crisis, mostly created by stupid, greedy, heterosexual males. (and no I am not a lesbian).
