The real problem with the Sestak case is that it is reflective of how the Obama administration handles everything. President Obama could probably have brushed off the Sestak affair, except that he chose to cover it up first. But this time the cover-up is just too obvious. This is particularly galling from someone who brags about transparency in government. Actually, he is very transparent, we see right through him. This is hardly an isolated case. We know have an e-mail showing exactly what jobs were offered to Romanof to drop out of the Colorado Senate race. Does anyone see a pattern here?

The joker in this case may be Rod Blagojevich.
He is on trial for trying to sell the Illinois Senate seat surrendered by Obama when he was elected President. Here is the irony of the case. Blagojevich is arguing that the people who allegedly discussed a bribe with him regarding this seat are telling a different story than told by Obama. Blagojevich wants to call Obama as a rebuttal witness, to prove that these guys are lying. That, of course, would be a huge perjury trap for Obama, which is why the Chicago political machine is working overtime to get Blagojevich safely convicted before even more damage is done.
Anyone of these cases: Sestak, Romanof and Burris would be damaging, but the combination of all three cases is lethal. In each case, the Obama administration followed an identical pattern of denial, and stonewalling, followed by a limp wristed pathetic cover story that wouldn’t fool the average eight grade student. Then, of course, they just refuse to answer any more questions, pretending the issue has been resolved.
For a long time this strategy worked. It worked on his birth certificate. It worked on his lack of academic records at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard. It worked on his missing Illinois Senate records. It worked regarding his relationship with Louis Farrakhan, Reverend Wright, William Ayers and a cast of thousands. It even worked on his bizarre land deal with Rezko. It worked because although this was all very obvious to anyone paying attention, Democrats did not care because he brought them to power. They were willing to ignore the problems in exchange for participating in the power. Obama probably thought this would work forever. He was wrong. There are signs that this is going to all come cascading down on him. This may be the ultimate cost of the mishandling of the BP oil spill. The problem is that Obama’s lies about the BP oil spill are so blatant and the horrendous reality of the situation is impossible to ignore.
On a daily basis we see more Democrats backing away from Obama. He is becoming more and more isolated. Democrats are well aware that Obama is a failed President. In addition, they fear that the worst is yet to come. At the same time our debt is escalating, our economy is collapsing, the Gulf of Mexico is being turned into a gigantic oil slick, Obama faces even more serious problems as a result of his naïve and irresponsible foreign policy. Afghanistan is deteriorating on a daily basis. The war that Obama said he had to win has probably already been lost. Iran now has enough fuel for nuclear weapons and in an act of desperation Special Forces units are being sent in illegally to try and identify potential targets.

North Korea sank a South Korean sub. Hillary pouted, Obama pointed and China punted. The end result is that we look more and more like a paper tiger, rather than a super power. We will be fortunate if this does not end up in a war.

Now there is the flotilla fiasco. Islam Terrorists are trying sneak weapons into Gaza under the pretence of peace missions and the Obama administration is responding in the worst way possible. I wonder if the msm even noticed that Obama’s BFF William Ayers and Bernardine Dorn are heavily involved in this flotilla? We are paying a terrible price for Obama’s total failure to understand the reality of Middle East politics. It appears that the Obama foreign policy for the Middle East is to throw Israel under the bus on a daily basis, then complain that Israel is making it difficult for the bus to operate. For years Israel has been relatively safe because everyone knew the U.S. ultimately had Israel’s back. Right now, Obama doesn’t even have his own back. The Arab world has been dreaming of destroying Israel for decades. Now, they apparently believe that opportunity is in their grasp, but they must move fast before Obama is replaced by someone with a spine.

Notice that we haven’t even mentioned the daily increase with regard to terrorist activity in this country.
Illegal immigrants are staging violent protests, with the support of the President of the United States, because we presume to enforce our own laws. The President of Mexico slams the Arizonia immigration law, during a speech to the United States Congress and he is rewarded with a standing ovation from Democrats in congress and a State dinner from the Obama administration.

In the meantime China and Russia aren’t even pretending to respect Obama. They are literally laughing in our face.

Nice work when you think of it. Never in the history of the U.S. has one President made so many mistakes in such a short period of time and learned so little. It is hard to be an optimist when our President thinks suing BP is somehow going to stop oil from leaking 5,000 feet below the surface and he thinks good intentions will somehow protect our shoreline.
