Heads should be rolling over former CIA Director David Petraeus affair scandal after his resignation came out of left field. I wondered why the FBI didn’t notify the White House about the retired general’s affair with Paula Broadwell. Well, the FBI considered it a criminal matter, not one of intelligence.

The sources said agents followed department guidelines that generally bar sharing information about developing criminal investigations. The FBI is also aware of its history under former director J. Edgar Hoover of playing politics and digging into the lives of public figures. As one official said, the rules are designed to protect people (both private and elected officials) when negative information about them arises in the course of a criminal investigation that is not a crime.

The FBI’s focus was on whether laws were broken, in this case whether federal cyber-harassment statutes were violated. The sources emphasized that Petraeus himself was never the focus of the investigation, nor did it turn up evidence he broke any law.

The focus was on his biographer, Paula Broadwell, with whom he had the affair that ended with his resignation as CIA director last week.

To all those people who flooded the Obama administration’s “We the People” website with their secessionist petitions, here’s a thought? Why don’t you leave the United States for another country? Renounce your citizenship. It’s just that simple. While none of the petitions  explicitly cite President Obama’s reelection last week, but it’s pretty ironic that they have hit a fever pitch since the general elections.

“The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the [National Defense Authorization Act], the [Transportation Security Administration], etc,” the Texas petition charges. “Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.”

As of Monday, residents of Kentucky, Oregon, Montana, North Dakota, Mississippi, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Arkansas, South Carolina, and Missouri have all expressed interest in dissolving their relationship with the United States. Source

Peter Morrison, who serves as treasurer of the Hardin County Republican Party called people who voted for President Obama “maggots.” Wow, Mr. Morrison, try to stay classy. I thought people had the right to choose which candidate they will support in any election. Excuse me for voting for President Obama, considering I don’t get those hand-outs from the government he and his other nutty right wing buddies maintain about the president’s supporters. This is just another crazy diversion by a bunch of crybabies. I didn’t realize we went backwards to 1860 when blacks were treated like sh*t and white man’s word was gospel truth. The right wingers are grasping straws and it’s quite comical to watch they sink lower and lower into the racist muck that will only work against them.

Pastor Robert Jeffress: “I want you to hear me tonight, I am not saying that President Obama is the Antichrist, I am not saying that at all. One reason I know he’s not the Antichrist is the Antichrist is going to have much higher poll numbers when he comes.”  ”But what I am saying is this: the course he is choosing to lead our nation is paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist.”
