That puts them very closely connected to two of the biggest political scandals in American history.

I was so excited when he was elected (and reelected). Wow.

I can already hear the name-calling begin. I'm sure this is the most unpopular opinion on the board.

name calling as in you're a Republican?..i don't think it's helpful to spread rumors if you don't have first hand knowledge..why don't you just stick to the facts? For example Rahm Emanuel was Pres Obama's chief of Staff in White House...so what favor is Obama asking of him?...what you're saying is wrong..how would you like it if someone spread rumors about you without having any actual knowledge, just gossip..it's ridiculous.

If you have opinions about this candidate or that one I've no problem listening but i have no use for malicious gossip. I won't indulge or put up with it in my personal life, why should i listen to it in a political thread? It's dirty, and it's not based on fact. People who indulge in it usually lead boring lives themselves so they must fantasize about yours or some other poor soul and cannot articulate on their own an individual, intelligent opinion based on what they have seen, observed or experienced. It's also very annoying and boring. that's why.
