I think had Obama called "Joe the plumber" and thanked him for hiring, "Jim the felon" and giving a convicted felon a chance to be a productive member of society it would have meant more to the people. I don't think he is trying to get votes, I think he was trying to encourage others to give people a second chance.

As for Vick, yes he abused dogs and blah blah blah, whatever he did his time for his crime and financially has lost or is paying for his crime and poor choices. I liked someones comparison to Pete Rose. I never particularly liked Pete Rose, he was mouthy, over cocky, rude and obnoxious as was Reggie Jackson, never liked him either. However they were DAMN good ball players and just as Vick is a good ball player, had the NFL not let him back in some other football venue would have.

As for NFL players being abusive or assaulting women....well I think the reasons that slides are varied. To begin with the evidence was over whelming in Vick's case, his case had multiple victims and it pulled at the heart strings of the nation.

Women on the other hand, people are suspicious of. What was she doing there? Why was she alone with him? She knows he's married etc....Society tries to blame women for a mans transgressions. It always has to be a woman's fault. What she had on or didn't for that matter. Always casting stones at women. Not only that but, this....evidence.......unless a woman goes straight to the ER and files a complaint and a rape kit is done, most all of the evidence is gone in 2 weeks or 3 months or whenever she comes forward. Then there's money, money talks and bullshit walks......not implying that assault or rape is bullshit I'm saying there's probably a lot of this that goes on that we don't know about, that is paid off.
