  1. Having an affair is having a "fucked up home life?"

    Have you already forgotten that the current Republican nominee for president had an affair?

    Iacocco is a Democrat. In fact, he owes his second career to Jimmy Carter and the massive Fed bailout of Chrysler.

  3. This took me all of 30 seconds...........Kind of like your conception.

    At the beginning of his 957-page book, Mr. Clinton says that he believes the roots of his successes and failures are directly linked to his years growing up in Arkansas. So 60 Minutes asked the former president to take us back to his home state to learn about the problems he had growing up.

    On the front porch of boyhood house in Hope, Ark., Mr. Clinton told Rather about his stepfather, Roger Clinton, the second husband that his mother, Virginia Kelley, married. His nickname, says Mr. Clinton, was “Dude,” and he was an abusive alcoholic.

    “I do not believe that she would have married him if he had ever abused her -- before they got married. That’s something that happened afterwards,” says Mr. Clinton. “But you might say that – maybe mother liked guys that were a bit rakish. She probably thought she could tame them. They liked her.”

    But Virginia couldn’t tame Roger Clinton or stop him from attacking her with his fists, a pair of scissors, and even shooting his gun at her.

  4. How dare you insult my dad and your mom! :)

    Bill Clinton went on to go to Yale (without a legacy admission), be a Rhodes Scholar, Governor and President.

    McCain attended about 20 different schools growing up.

    Which had a fucked up home life?

  6. The OP raised an issue that should concern moderate voters. Obama has overcome many obstacles in his life and is rightly admired for that. At the same time, his early background combined with his "career" of radical community activism and his abysmal record of associating with bigots, hatemongers, terrorists and gangsters raise legitimate questions about who he is. The media have done their best to portray him as a sensible moderate, but there is nothng in his record to substantiate that. To the contrary, he has never strayed from the orthodoxy of the far left, no matter what the issue.
