Told Ya So...

Loan ago I suggested that, if elected President, Barack Obama would be the first black Jimmy Carter. Since then Obama was elected, the American economic situation continued to erode and unemployment increased sharply. Now Obama has had his "Amy Moment". In a recent press conference, the first in over 300 days, the President used one of his daughters to demonstrate his dedication to solving this problem. "Did you plug the hole Daddy?" Will go down in history as a prime example of lame leadership.

Obama Brings in THE Expert

If you need to tell the American People a lie and a big one at that you need to bring in an expert to close the sale. Congressman Joe Sestack said the White House offered him a job to stay out of the Democrat primary for Pennsylvania's senate seat currently held by Arlen Specter. That sort of back room horse trading did not sit well with the public and multiple questions have been asked. What was the job? Who made the offer? As the cacophony of questions increased the Obama Administration realized that their statements that "nothing illegal or unethical had occurred" wasn't going to quash this controversy. President Obama did not answer these questions but announced that a "statement from his administration" would be forth coming.

On the Friday afternoon before Memorial Day Week-end that statement was rolled out. The "job" offered was suddenly an unpaid consultants position. The offer that Sestack said came from the "White House" had been filtered through former President Clinton. Clearly this is not what actually happened. It is a shame that Joe Sestack has had to agree to this public sham. Also one has to ask what did the Obama administration offer Bill Clinton to get his assistance in this attemp to "Punk" America.

I would have gone another way. Since it appears this all took place prior to Joe Sestack entering the primary it may not be illegal. If they had gotten him to drop out of an election the way Bill Clinton got Bob Torricelli to step aside to allow room for Frank Lautenberg, that is a blatant illegal action. Why didn't we ever investigate that turn of events? Perhaps that is why Clinton was the go to guy for this latest cover up of totally unethical and possibly illegal electioneering.

Specter of Arlen Haunts No More

One of my disagreements with the Bush Administration was it's support of Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey six years ago. Now at long last the nation is free of this party hopping, self serving, political hack! I do not support people staying in office for decades even when they are conservatives. It seems our representatives become less and less responsive to the electorate the longer they lounge in Washington, DC. I have my doubts about Rand Paul but agree with him on the solution to most of the countries ills, TERM LIMITS!

Arlen Specter was elected to the Senate in 1980 after an already long political career. He has been no statesman and the Senate and the nation will be better off without him. That may sound harsh Arlen but you had a good long run, you are a cancer survivor, relax and enjoy your retirement.
