Transparent As Mud!

I think it’s pretty obvious—the Obama administration tried to revert back to their old Chicago swamp-politics with the revelations about the Pennsylvania Senate Democratic primary. 
It has come out that someone in the Obama administration asked Congressman Joe Sestak (D-PA) to drop out of the primary race against incumbent Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA) with the lure of a high post in the administration.   Speculation says that Sestak was offered the post of secretary of the Navy because Sestak used to be a Navy admiral or ambassador to Russia because Sestak is fluent in Russian.  No matter how you chew this, it stinks. 
Now the Obama administration is trying to loop Bill Clinton into this one, saying that it was Clinton who offered the job to Sestak in lieu of the Obama administration.  Talk about ducking and dodging!  During the 2008 campaign, Obama talked fervently about the need for transparency in the Federal.  Well, Mr. President, I do believe you have broken that promise. 
I’m not surprised this happened.  Obama rose to prominence in Chicago, the home of dirty filthy politics.  To rise in Chicago politics, you have to play dirty and that’s just what Obama did.  He pulled the wool over the eyes of all of America and now the wool is starting to fall off, and the results are not too pretty.  Keep up the heat on the Obama administration to come clean about this and let’s let them have it!  Thank goodness we have great Libertarian/Conservative think tanks like the Cato Institute and the Heritage Foundation to advocate our causes.
