Barack Obama and Other Men Who Cry

We're not judging.

Andy Murray

By Glen LevyJuly 09, 20120

For a shining moment, it looked as if Andy Murray was going to be the first British men’s tennis player to win his nation’s premier tournament in 76 years. Then came Roger Federer. While the silver lining for the 25-year old is that he least took a set in his fourth final, the enormous weight of expectation couldn’t have been easy for him to bear. “I’m getting closer,” he joked at the start of his post-match interview, before taking a second to try to regain of his usual steely composure. “Right, I’m going to try this and it’s not going to be easy,” he continued in a shaky voice, which led to a further outpouring of emotion — the TV cameras showed his girlfriend in tears as well as fans in the stands — as he gracefully praised his opponent and thanked the Wimbledon fans.

11/11/2012 Efven when you want to leave the FBI you have to have a very excuse. The F.B.I. investigation that led to the resignation of David H. Petraeus as C.I.A. director began with a complaint several months ago about “harassing” e-mails sent by Paula Broadwell, Mr Petraeus’s biographer, to an unidentified third person, a government official briefed on the case said Saturday. When F.B.I. agents following up on the complaint began to examine Ms Broadwell’s e-mails, they discovered exchanges between her and Mr Petraeus that revealed that they were having an affair, said the official, who spoke of the investigation on the condition of anonymity. The person who complained about harassing messages from Ms Broadwell, according to the official, was not a family member or a government official. One Congressional official who was briefed on the matter said senior intelligence officials had explained that the F.B.I. investigation “started with two women.” I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA

Summing up the difference between Obama and Romney: Obama genuinely wants to make the world better, Romney genuinely just wants to win.

Disgusting. It makes me sick seeing Obama cry in front of his campaigners. If he wants to cry, he should be crying over the poor people in NY/NJ dumpster diving for food, freezing in the cold with no electricity. He is a disgrace.
