Timing is everything.

[Gramps]

So, scandals go hand in hand with timing. If this was October the SS scandal might or might not have an influence on how people vote. But it's only April. Lots of time to move on to other topics that will probably outweigh the damage Obama's going to get for the conduct of his guards. What the critics miss here is that the guards are supposed to watch over Obama, not the other way around. It is their job to keep him safe, not his to keep them in line. The whole scenario is unacceptable on the surface although partying on the expense account is as American as mom and apple pie. I, for one, have never forgotten the $400 hammers and defective rivets and a few other scams that have bilked you and me out of a fortune but it keeps on happening because, as Hillary said about scaling Mt. Everest, it's there to take.

The old adage that proclaims if you keep focused on the pennies the dollars will take care of themselves seemed to have a lot more meaning before we began to talk in terms of trillions. Pennies are a pain in the posterior anymore, used primarily to set prices -- so that they end-up on 99 cents to calm the buyers rather than take a big even dollar leap.

By the time election day rolls around the SS scandal will have run its course because the slueths who want to hang Obama to the highest tree will dig until they find something to complain about.

I just saw a cartoon where Obama was jumping in front of the SS to save them)

Question,Gramps. What were the nics of the 2 Native Americans on KFS?

I never laid this "scandal" as you call it at Obama's feet. This might be an SS image problem but it sure as hell ain't Obama's political problem. An SSer is a crossbred assassin and baby sitter, tellin' him what to do and when to do it, not the other way around. And I can tell you from personal experience...well, actually hearsay from someone I knew back when...that they ain't always real polite about it.

So, I ain't commented or even read any other posts on this that I know of...and I was wonderin' why a smart feller like you would go to analyzin' it as if it was? Like I said, I ain't read any of the other posts...has anyone suggested it is a problem for Obama? If so their nuts too.

Many Republicans agreed with you,Boca. Peter King was one of the first to come out and say,"Do not blame Obama for this!"

And many on the board have talked about how this could have put ,"Our," President in danger.

When we quit talking past each other,like the lame stream media we agree on many things,including our Country.

What I asked was, if anyone has suggested it's an Obama political scandal.....sayin' it may have put Obama in danger don't measure up to that?

My recollections are fuzzy but I recall one was from Oklahoma the other from Detroit. If it comes to me I'll let you know.

If you are referring to comments on these boards I cannot say one way or the other because I am pretty selective over what I read anymore. But the media does tend to make a circus out of it and more than once I've heard one of them talk about the harm it might cause Obama in the upcoming election. It's that time of year in politics. In fact most every media newscast begins with a blazing header about the "Scandal" and spends several minutes discussing its effects. Let's face it, for some reason we just have to have a "gate" every now and then to calm the savage beasts.

Now, about being "nuts too!" Sorry I offended you.

I take it you're an old country boy so I was wondering how you would determine whether a squirrel was male of female should the law forbid killing females -- quite simple. Shake the tree until you hear its "nuts" rattle.

I can't see how the Secret Service scandal will effect Obama POLITICALLY. (Although, I do hope that measures are taken to correct these issues...)

The GSA shennanegins may stick, however, as that can fit into a common theme, this Summer and Fall: "BIG GOVERNMENT WASTES TAXPAYER MONEY."

As far as I am concerned, every American needs to watch that GSA video every day, then, look at the record deficit spending we have under this administration.....

The Secret Service scandal may not end up affecting Obama adversely, just a bunch of macho guys letting off a little testosterone, fighterjocks with earpieces and handguns instead, but then there's this:
