Surprise, surprise, surprise!

MB is against a gay person.

This is all the more reason to back Mr. Jennings. If MB is against it, I am for it. I don’t care what the issue is. Nor should you.

I think most rational people would oppose him if they knew that he did not inform the proper authorities that one of his students had a sexual relationship w/an adult.

I suggest this is purely an act to rag on Obama and using the ‘gay’ issue as their method. When will the public get a life and realize that this ‘boy’ as folks say was an adult when this all happened. It was more of an issue of generational love then a minor being molested. If that is going to be the line not to cross, then many would be in trouble.
