Well, she's been there 2 years.

Another office created by politicians so they can give people in the circle a government funded job paid for with out tax dollars.

Maybe they mistook her for Karl Rove due to the striking resemblance.

Looking at her I see why he did the LTC.

I don't, but that's because I view marriage as both a written contract and a personal promise by two people to commit to a wholly monogamous marital relationship - at least until the contract has been legally voided.

However, YMMV.

Mrs. Petraeus has long been the best friend a PVT2 could have when he or she exited the Main Gate and entered the predatory world just outside -- pawn shops, buy-here-pay-here used car dealerships, pay-day loan joints etc.
Mrs. Petreaus built that resume over 37 years. Her "career" seemed to have been one of using power to assist Soldiers. Her husband OTOH seemed focused on power for its own and his own sake.

Good luck to you Mrs P. you earned that job, keep it. Divorce the bum, divvy up the stuff, and keep half his retirement. He and Mrs Broadwell can live happily ever after (I wonder how Mrs B will fare in her divorce.)

(I think she was quite the catch as a young debutante. Which would explain little Davie's attraction.)

.02 I guess

Why would anyone be surprised that Obama gave her a $187,000 a year job? It's the way things are done in Chicago. Michelle Obama was given a $350,000 a year no show job at a hospital in Chicago when Obama was elected to the Senate. Business as usual....

After reading the article, it seems to me Mrs. P earned her position. I for one am glad servicemembers have someone on our side looking out for our interests.
