Divorce
Did you see that Tiger and Elin reached a tentative divorce settlement in which he agrees to pay her between $750 million and $833 million? In return, she consents to never comment publicly about his extramarital affairs. Quite a payoff for a relatively unimpeded opportunity to rehabilitate his image and convince the public he's not the ass most believe him to be. Woods does, however, get access to the children—as long as he is not in the company of a woman to whom he is neither married nor engaged. Hmmm...that might not be a gimmie.
Messy circumstances, but most likely best for all parties.
Wouldn't it be nice if Obama and we the citizenry could reach a similar accord? There are irreconcilable differences, you know.
Like most marriages, this one started out hot and steamy. It was true love. But, as is so often the case, illicit affairs (Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Blagojevich, Holder, Napolitano, GM, Chrysler, AIG, SEIU, UAW, Sestak, and Romanoff to name several) and money matters have broken down the trust that must be the foundation of any healthy relationship.
Don't ya just hate it when the bills come and you find out your significant other has been on a spending bender? Sure, you could probably stomach a few pair of Manolo's, a Hermes bag or two...maybe even a new set of clubs, but when it all adds up to an extra four or five trillion, enough is enough. Right?
And, then...learning of that threesome with Fannie and Freddie...fugetaboutit!!! Those two sluts have been homewreckers for quite a while.
The breakup probably won't be easy. Some nasty things have been said, and a lot...make that a WHOLE LOT of damage has been done.
Perhaps an interim step is in order, say a restraining order this coming November?
With a little luck, we should be able to get the final divorce papers signed in 2012.
Anybody know a good attorney?

So ... Four Brief Points:
1 - The topical analogy of Divorce between Tiger vs. Elin and Obama vs. "We the People" is a horribly shallow way to broach the topic of political infidelity we're experiencing in today's real world. But as I see it, everyone's entitled to their little literary oil spill, even you Chuck
2 - Assuming there was some valid reason to mash these two situations together (Tiger v Elin -- Obama v People) and compare outcomes we might as well be honest about it. There really is no comparison to the potential settlements. Why, because Elin wins and "We the People" lose in the settlements. If there was even a sliver of hope that I might be able to experience some of the robust financial benefit that Elin will receive I'd be so much more optimistic. Hell, I'd settle for a sleeve of Pinnacles, cause that's far more than I'll even get out of any settlement with this inhabitor of Uncle Sam. See the deal is I have been just as faithful as Elin was in the marriage with Obama but I will get nothing and I didn't even have to sign a pre-nup. So nice try on the comparison but I'll chalk the approach up to pure sensationalism. And the fact of the matter is Tiger sells (in golf and in trashy literary political posts).
3 - I wonder if Obama asked "Blago" to remove his name from his cell phone to cover his tracks like Tiger did with his Vegas ho? It will be interesting to see if proceeedings against Blago are aggressive enough to really extract the truth out of the whitehouse about what really happened. Even if it ended up with good ole Rahm taking the bullet for Obama.
4 - Freddie and Fannie ... I just love that part. Chuck, you almost redeemed yourself throughout this trashy post by adding keen insight and comparison of Freddie and Fannie to the little slut homewreckers they really are. But remember it's always the parents fault for the children's upbringing no matter how hard it is to face the truth. I also found it odd you would leave out the little pervert uncle AIG who "We the People" are still ashamed to admit is still roaming the streets and preying on our children's tax $$ with utter indemnity. Roll out more boom ... it's going to be a long, ugly battle and it's all getting far too close to shore and the protected wetlands of our bank accounts.
All the best ...
Steve

Be careful, or you may be deported from the Seattle area for thinking too much like me (a fiscal conservative)!

Love the analogy...hopefully the 'citizenry' will have the brains that Elin did and not only get the restraining order come November, but serve up the divorce papers as well. What's the possibility of an annulment?

No annulment. We shouldn't ever want to forget the travesty of this presidency.
