The foreign press is all over this story. Why was our own media not on top of it before the election? Now that the media has helped Obama win another election, will they remain in his bed for another four years, or will they be shamed into doing their job?

I find it extremely unlikely that Obama did not know about Petraeus's affair before he was appointed to head the CIA. If he was not aware of it, then the FBI background check done on Petraeus was incredibly and uncharacteristically poorly done. I am also skeptical that infidelity alone would disqualify Petraeus from serving in an administration who openly allowed illegal foreign donations to his campaign by not properly vetting credit card donations.

Agree, and I'll tell you what I am skeptical about. If one finds herself in a love triangle such as has been reported in the Patraeus investigation, and finds herself getting some email warning shots across the bow by the 'other', other woman telling her to buzz off, who in their right mind would go to the FBI about that? Aren't there several spouses involved here including her own that might not be so happy about all of this? I can imagine several other kinds of reactions which are a lot more likely to have occured than going to the FBI. I mean, at that point the other, other woman, was just a would be interloper, trying to horn in on some side action. Hardly a position of having been wronged I would think. Supposedly this is what intialized the entire investigation.
