USUAL SESTAKS"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The real problem with the Sestak case is that it is reflective of how the Obama administration handles everything.\u00a0 President Obama could probably have brushed off the Sestak affair, except that he chose to cover it up first.\u00a0 But this time the cover-up is just too obvious.\u00a0 This is particularly galling from someone who brags about transparency in government.\u00a0 <strong>Actually, he is very transparent, we see right through him<\/strong>.\u00a0 This is hardly an isolated case.\u00a0 We know have an e-mail showing exactly what jobs were offered to Romanof to drop out of the Colorado Senate race.\u00a0 Does anyone see a pattern here?<\/p>\n<p><a

Blagojevich.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/articles.chicagotribune.com\/2010-06-02\/news\/ct-met-blagojevich-trial-politics-20100602_1_blagojevich-trial-political-culture-rod-blagojevich\">http:\/\/articles.chicagotribune.com\/2010-06-02\/news\/ct-met-blagojevich-trial-politics-20100602_1_blagojevich-trial-political-culture-rod-blagojevich<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He is on trial for trying to sell the Illinois Senate seat surrendered by Obama when he was elected President.\u00a0 Here is the irony of the case.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Blagojevich wants to call Obama as a rebuttal witness, to prove that these guys are lying.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone of these cases:\u00a0 Sestak, Romanof and Burris would be damaging, but the combination of all three cases is lethal.\u00a0 In each case, the Obama administration followed an identical pattern of denial, and stonewalling, followed by a limp wristed pathetic cover story that wouldn\u2019t fool the average eight grade student.\u00a0\u00a0 Then, of course, they just refuse to answer any more questions, pretending the issue has been resolved.<\/p>\n<p>For a long time this strategy worked.\u00a0 It worked on his birth certificate.\u00a0 It worked on his lack of academic records at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard.\u00a0 It worked on his missing Illinois Senate records.\u00a0 It worked regarding his relationship with Louis Farrakhan, Reverend Wright, William Ayers and a cast of thousands.\u00a0 It even worked on his bizarre land deal with Rezko.\u00a0 It worked because although this was all very obvious to anyone paying attention, Democrats did not care because he brought them to power.\u00a0 They were willing to ignore the problems in exchange for participating in the power.\u00a0 Obama probably thought this would work forever.\u00a0 He was wrong.\u00a0 There are signs that this is going to all come cascading down on him.\u00a0 This may be the ultimate cost of the mishandling of the BP oil spill.\u00a0 The problem is that Obama\u2019s lies about the BP oil spill are so blatant and the horrendous reality of the situation is impossible to ignore.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On a daily basis we see more Democrats backing away from Obama.\u00a0 He is becoming more and more isolated.\u00a0 Democrats are well aware that Obama is a failed President.\u00a0 In addition, they fear that the worst is yet to come.\u00a0 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 na\u00efve and irresponsible foreign policy.\u00a0 Afghanistan is deteriorating on a daily basis.\u00a0 The war that Obama said he had to win has probably already been lost.\u00a0 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/afghanistan.blogs.cnn.com\/\">http:\/\/afghanistan.blogs.cnn.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>North Korea sank a South Korean sub.\u00a0 Hillary pouted, Obama pointed and China punted.\u00a0 The end result is that we look more and more like a paper tiger, rather than a super power.\u00a0 We will be fortunate if this does not end up in a war.<\/p>\n<p><a

there is the flotilla fiasco.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I wonder if the msm even noticed that Obama\u2019s BFF William Ayers and Bernardine Dorn are heavily involved in this flotilla?\u00a0 We are paying a terrible price for Obama\u2019s total failure to understand the reality of Middle East politics.\u00a0 <strong>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<\/strong>.\u00a0 For years Israel has been relatively safe because everyone knew the U.S. ultimately had Israel\u2019s back.\u00a0 Right now, Obama doesn\u2019t even have his own back.\u00a0 The Arab world has been dreaming of destroying Israel for decades.\u00a0 Now, they apparently believe that opportunity is in their grasp, but they must move fast before Obama is replaced by someone with a spine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a
