The In-Specter Gadgets of Axelrod

It's one thing knowing the Obama administration is nothing more than a shadow government with all the czars they have but it's getting old no matter who is President of why all investigations come down to the White House lawyers. Doesn't one think that there is a conflict of interest and an easier route to sweep things under the rug? It's one thing to have your own lawyers investigate matters that can impeach a President but to have the media spin it in a way that it makes everything sweet and palatable is beyond belief. For instances like the Sestak ordeal before he campaigned against Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, there should be a totally different group of investigators not affiliated with any of the parties to investigate matters like these but how do we know there isn't a slant on one's belief and an agenda there depending on who they support in their personal life? Damned if you do, damned if you don't, right?

Joe Sestak has come out and mentioned that the Obama administration on numerous occasions and even before the Primaries was offered a high-ranking job if he was to bow out of the race against Specter. Of course with further investigation by Obama's senior adviser David Axelrod and a couple of White House lawyers, they found "no evidence" that supports Sestak's claim. This was vocally brought to light from Axelrod himself on CNN's "John King USA" as well and even said it "constitute a serious breach of the law". Sestak on the other hand has not said who offered him the job or what the job was either. Robert Gibbs added more confusion to the mix by dodging more than a dozen questions on the matter before hitting Sunday's talk shows and mentioning "nothing inappropriate happened". Axelrod's tone on King's show was almost a blatant regard that Sestak was lying but not just coming out and saying it.

The fire hasn't fizzled on this one yet and if anyone is keeping the heat on it's California's Darrell Issa (R) which is demanding a probe and members of the GOP are hoping for a Congressional investigation into the matter and of course the Democrats have gone mum on the subject. Issa went on to say that the probe would try to discover whether the "most transparent administration in history" tried to illegally manipulate an election. Sestak is standing firm on all of this but really hasn't come out with any real details of the matter.

A letter to Axelrod from the Senate Judiciary Committee was signed by Republicans Orrin Hatch, Charles Grassley, Jon Kyl, Jeff Sessions, Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn and Tom Coburn about the allegations and the seriousness of the political process being "taint with bribes and political machine manipulation". The White House all week has pushed any attempt back that Obama or any of his staff are involved or attempted to bribe Sestak from withdrawing from the Democratic Senate primary in PA.

So it all boils down to is Sestak lying, Axelrod lying or is this yet another cover-up swept under the rug by the media and the administration? Seems to me everything that goes wrong and can be finger-pointed at Obama or one of his trolls, it gets buried, dropped, covered or spun....or some big event happens and the media turns it's attention to that story to bury the old one--how quaint.

As Issa's spokesperson, Kurt Bardella puts five good questions together that Issa and many people would like to have actual answers for:
1) Do either Gibbs or Axelrod know who spoke with Sestak and what, if anything was offered?
2) If nothing "inappropriate" or "problematic" happened, then why don't they just answer these questions and move on?
3) Even if nothing technically illegal happened, does the implication in itself that they tried to maneuver Sestak out of the PA Senate primary effectively taint then candidate-Obama to change the business-as-usual attitude of Washington?
4) Since Axelrod said he believees after talking to the White House lawyers that the accusations are founded, is Sestak lying?
5) Is he telling the truth and everyone else is jumping through hoops to avaoid answering questions directly because the person Sestak spoke to was Rahm Emanuel?

With all that said, I think this will be yet another chapter to add to a list of things that we'll never know the truth about. This administration hasn't been transparent since Day 1 and Princess Pelosi is just as guilty for saying that from the get-go and yet we haven't heard a peep out of her polyurethane face with that "deer in the headlights" gleam she sports. I really don't know what to conclude on this one since we have all the makings of a pure slanted and tilted story because every avenue you hit, there's someone linked to the White House that is picking the garbage up off the floor and keeping anything incriminating away from the press, the people and making Obama look like the true Messiah as he was initially painted as. Even this whole BP thing is really turned on to the oil company and not the lack of response by the administration and even 33 days after the fact, Big O has plans for a vacation....swell ain't it? God forbid if this was Bush right now with the BP incident and wanting to go on vacation. The poor guy couldn't visit the porcelain god without some dumbass reporter saying he's dropping the ball on something.

So what's the stakes with you readers? Will Sestak be pointed at as a liar? Will this whole thing just vaporize into nothingness while the crickets chirp in the dark of night or are we going to get some sort of racecard issue if there are true allegations? Or will it be shifted off somewhere other than in Obamaland where he can say he didn't know anything about it? Quite possibly he could spin it enough that Bush can be blamed for it? Ya think?
