Obama's ex-girlfriends

[Dick Whitman]

Everybody:

How much did we know about Clinton's college days until Maraniss's book came out during his presidency? (During his second term? Can't recall the timing.) That book seemed to have a **** ton of scoops: (1) Never inhaling; (2) Basically being an awful law student. Etc., etc.

For better or worse, Clinton's post-marital affairs and exploits seemed to overshadow just about everything else.

My girlfriend -- we live together -- sometimes tells me she loves me.

But whenever I tell her I love her, she says, "Thank you."

The first time she did it, it kind of freaked me out, because I was like "What the hell is that?"

But my standard response became, "Don't mention it," or "Think nothing of it," or "It's my pleasure," and it has become kind of a joke.

I can't believe I just shared that, but it seemed like the time and place.

Thanks for sharing that, Ragu. I love you.

 

[Dick Whitman]

I used to say "Thank you" and sometimes still will do so. Just a natural reaction, I think, to a compliment.

Better band name?

Obama's ex-girlfriends or Obama's composite girlfriend?

I'd like to just point out that "Thank you" is one of the worst responses ever to "I love you."

Maybe she pulled a Mosby on him and he was justifiably unprepared.

I've always liked Eric Foreman's response to Donna's "I Love You.": "I love....cake."

Thank you for taking that in the spirit in which it was intended (a joke, not mocking).

Thank You

When I had kids - I stopped going to church. Didn't trust my kids around priests so I stopped going. Didn't see the point anymore. I grew up inner city and knew what was what. My kids were too sheltered to ever see that sort of threat coming at them. So I quit the church and my wife became an Episcopal - and raised the kids in that church.

Couple of years ago I go to church (Catholic) for whatever reason or occasion and I go up to receive. I get communion from the priest and I look up and say, "Thank you."

I had completely forgotten the ritual and response. "Thank you."

If you were raised as Catholic as my family raised me - that response is still funny.

Thank you.

Your g/f is French, right?

When she say "Thanks" just say "pas de quoi" :)

All you ever have to know about him is that he asked out and married his mentor attorney at one of the whitest of white shoe law firms in America. When he was a summer associate, which is essentially an intern trying to get a job (which he turned down).

Maybe now, but back then a summer intern was virtually guaranteed an offer & the power balance was reversed - the firm was wining and dining the interns, hoping that they'll stay. In our firm the (unconfirmed) rumor was that there had only been 1 summer associate ever not to get an offer, in a different branch. He apparently spent the summer working with a huge knife clipped to his belt.

Who gives a damn about his ex-girl friends? More importantly, WTF does that have to do with the state of the country today? People really need to get a ****ing life. The man is the President of the United States. He should be supported instead of hounded and definitely disrespected. I may not be thrilled with a lot of things that he's done but how much lower are we, as a people, going to go with this? Ex girlfriends? That's worse than questioning his wife about wearing sleeveless dresses. And WTF was that about?

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I wonder when people started caring about this kind of stuff.

Gary Hart challenged the media to catch him in the act and then they did. No one to blame but himself...

Clinton handled this like a world ****ing champion, he got out in front of it and had his wife by his side and people decided they liked him so much that they would vote for him anyway. I think Clinton had so many extra-marital trysts that the media now feels like it has to at least make sure to see what a candidate has in their past.

Funny, to me Clinton is when they stopped caring, they just never knew about it because the media didn't tell.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

I wonder when people started caring about this kind of stuff.

It's always been something to care about. Because he had sex before marriage with women who didn't even become his wife, he's been corrupted. He's a bad role model for America's youth.

In all seriousness, sex and politics have always been intertwined. Heck, Grover Cleveland got ripped on because he fathered a kid out of wedlock, inspiring the chant, "Ma, Ma, where's my pa? Going to the White House, ha, ha, ha!"

Who says it's a big deal?

Marannis is writing a biography about the guy. Of course he's going to include information about his formative years, including any serious relationships the guy had.

It doesn't appear he's writing about one night stands, or inconsequential relationships. He was apparently pretty serious with the one girl, moving in with her for a time even.

And, they were important enough to receive mention in the President's own autobiography -- thought they were compressed into one, composite girlfriend.

Plus, any new information is going to get more attention, and this is mostly new, and was included in the Esquire excerpt.

This sounds interesting, but it would be a LOT more interesting if Howard Stern were interviewing the ex-girlfriends.

Or have Joe McGinniss write the bio. :D
