phyllis, he made the mistake of doing it in front of folks he trusted … i’m sure he was down on his knees apologizing and asking for forgiveness (and not just from his wife) — i hope one day soon someone will ask Barak (or even Michelle) what’s the worst name that has been used in one of their ‘disagreements’ — Im sure neither will be stupid enough to go into detail, but any honest married person knows that ugly things happen in any relationship — if you or I had been subjected to 5 years of torture in a PRV prison we might develop a few ‘personality quirks — and PLEASE ladies, don’t think I’m trying to excuse this kind of behavior — i just don’t think this good man deserves to be crucified for this — any more than Barak should be criticized for pointing out that certain folks ‘cling to religion and/or guns ! — and by the way, I’m voting for Barak whether or not he chooses Sen. Clinton — I’ll never forgive him however, if he doesn’t offer the position to her

I just posted a question about this - if I had just kept reading a little further instead…. I don’t know, I think it shows some fundamental beliefs and/or lack of control that I find highly unattractive in a president. Maybe I’m just offended and my emotions are showing. Well, Cindy, you married him, not me. So my advice is lose the tight hair and try to look real.
