10. Story undermines rw spin blaming White House

Some in media have insinuated that White House kept the story quiet before the election to help Obama. But seems to me like the White House could not reveal anything about an ongoing investigation but that it was Petraeus who waited until after the election so the right wing could continue spinning about Benzai rather than media shifting focus to Petraeus incompetency and lack of focused leadership (since it appears he was involved with two women and allowed Broadwell access to his computer from which she threatened the woman who contacted FBI) Focus would have shifted away from blaming Obama to criticizing right wing hero Petraeus.
