Why will this be an issue when Bush's alcoholism through age 40, and Laura's vehicular manslaughter were not political liabilities?

Conservative Republicans are partisan hackers. Obama admitted to doing some irresponsible things as a teenager but he grew up and went to Columbia. He has had a good career in politics and hasn't shown any bad qualities so far. That all happened in his teenage years. Bush, on the other hand, continued to drink until his adult years bringing down every oil company he used to work with and bankrupt his own company ARBUSTO. His wife as a teenager killed her boyfriend in a car accident. She was negligent because of her carelessness. Conservatives don't mention that. I don't like to attack Bush for his personal flaws but it irates me when people start talking about politicians' personal problems while they have their own skeletons in the closet. I don't even like Obama, he is all hype. But I think his private life is going to be scrutinized and it will hurt him.

There is a rule in presidential politics. I've heard it more than once and believe it.
Candidates do not have to answer any question relating to anything that has passed the 25 year mark.
When he ran, bush did not answer any question about his DUI or the question of whether or not he used cocaine because, it was more than 25 years ago.

You forgot to mention Bush shoving cocaine up his nose. That one really got lost in the shuffle. The first President with a criminal record, I'm just SO proud.

I doubt anyone will harp on what he did at 15; I haven't heard anything about it. I think the focus will be his lack of experience for the job. I think the highest he can hope for at this point is vice president.

It shouldn't make a difference, Bush did cocaine at Camp David when his daddy was Prez. You see what a fine president he turned out to be.

Oh they will try.. Only Republicans can make a war hero into a coward and a coward into a war president. Do you see the irony?

Unless he had sexual intercourse with his pet dog or his grandmother, I hardly think that teenage foolishness will be a factor.
