AboutJudith Brandt Expertise I can answer questions regarding how to cheat and get away with it. I also have an extensive understanding of why people marry in the first place, and where the urge to cheat comes from. Love is an emotion programmed to self-destruct.

Question Recently there was news that Obama and Scarlett Johansson have been communicating with each other for months. Me and my friends were agrueing if that is the first step towards an affair. I heard about it at politico. She tireless campaigns for him, tries to meet up with him as much as possible and makes calls for him. She has joked about her heart belonging to him. For months he replys with thoughtfull emails. ( That means he is trying to establish intimacy) And not all of it is about politics. I have taken psychology courses before and this just screams the first step in towards an emotional affair. She gushes over him, the first time they met she sayed "I love yoir wife" What she really meant to say was I love you lol.
Does it sound like a door that could lead to many things. Mind she is 23 and he is 46
Answer Hi there:
An interesting premise, and it wouldn't be the first time that some holier-than-thou politician felt that he could do anything he wanted just because he's "special." (See Elliot Spitzer among about a zillion others.)
Here are two things we already know from the story you're alluding to:
1) Scarlett Johannsen is an idiot, because if she had something resembling a brain she would realize that calling Barry Hussein a communist is putting it mildly and that he hates this country, and
2) Barry Hussein has an ego big as the sky and a sense of entitlement that only being the beneficiary of a program like affirmative action can bestow.
Put those two things together and you've got the perfect recipe for an affair, and they deserve each other. On the other hand, I have met Ryan Reynolds a few times, he's a very nice guy if misguided in some ways (playing a Clinton campaign operative in a movie?) and he deserves better than being humiliated by his nitwit girlfriend in public.
One would think that between contriving ridiculous takes on the Presidential seal and throwing various advisors under the bus, Barry Hussein would not really have time to flirt via email with some actress with a disconcertingly weird mouth and a giant rack, but being an exalted being apparently has its benefits, the ability to stop time being one of them.
Just for the pure entertainment value, I hope there *is* something going on!
