The timing on the Petraeus scandal: win-win for Obama


The timing of the surfacing of this Petraeus scandal is not surprising given the fact that it wasn’t days after the Obama reelection.  The news releases pointed out that CIA Director David H. Petraeus had an extramarital affair, and was stepping down from his position.  This, viaNewsMax.com:
In his letter of resignation, Petraeus cited an extra-marital affair he had been having. “After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair,” Petraeus said in his letter to President Obama. “Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours.”
However, there is a rather dark sense among the powers-that-be in Washington that the timing on the Petraeus scandal could not have been more perfect for the Obama administration.
