The media is making a big deal about McSame "talking about" his
"failed first marriage". But he didn't talk about it. He acknowledged that he was divorced, but he took no responsibility for cheating on his wife as being the reason for that failure. Marriages fail for lots of reasons, but he did not, in any way, shape or form, acknowledge the actual reason for that failure.

In contrast, Obama took full responsibility for his personal failure of using drugs/drinking, and admitted it was because he was self-absorbed (paraphrased).

McSame is getting a lot of credit for nothing.

8. I did, as well. He didn't just address it, he explained what he learned
from it, and how it changed him.

McSame doesn't appear to have learned anything from his biggest personal failure.

3. Maybe they need to discuss why he regrets it.
The MSM is so pathetic when it comes to exposing McCain. On the other hand it leaves us with powerful ammo closer to the election.

I think when people realize the extent of McCain's betrayal, they are kind of offended they didn't know anything about it.

4. I regret commiting adultery and abandoning my first wife after an accident disfigured her
instead of saying "my failed marriage".

7. I don't think so. The way I'm seeing it, they know that McSame cheated, and
they are going to treat it as if the rest of the public knows he cheated, too, so they won't need to talk about it.

Of course, it has been okay to flog Edwards affair for a week. But they will continue to cover for McSame.

9. Right. If the media does use it, it'll be used as just one more example of the Mav's
personal integrity.

Sadly, we can't expect any more than that from these pieces of shit.

10. Don't you know that McCain's infedilities of 30 years ago is old news
However, Obama's grade school of 40 years ago is topical. :sarcasm:
