If Sestak was offered a position in the Administration, even if the offer was made by Clinton, it had to be the Administration who authorized the offer because only they can do the hiring. And if the offer was made in return for Sestak dropping out of the race as Sestak has stated, it could easily be construed as an attempt to modify the results of an election. Releasing what appears to be a contrived explanation on a Friday involving "go-betweens" and "unpaid" positions just before a three day weekend is clever. However, the simplistic explanation becomes very suspect when one considers the months the Administration totally stonewalled the issue.
Will this Administration be transparent on this matter as they have promised to be or will they pull out the old Nixon play book? Or maybe British Petroleum should just sink an oil well in the D.C. Swamp?
Politicians all know americans have short memories. does it seem a bit strange that Sestak held a press conference at 4pm on friday, at the start of a three day weekend.
americans do have short memories, we will see if the story has legs next week.
You are right, my mind has been long made up but, when I go to that poll and I write down my vote, I will remember all this and perhaps smile knowing he will soon be a has been.
completely agree. this is only one more questionable issue is this administrations repertoire.
campaign on transparency, then have none.
promise no tax increases then raise taxes.
campaign from the center, govern from the far left.
push health care against the majority, minority rules.
I will remember all of these inconsistencies, and consider them all insults to Americans intelligence, when I go to the polls.

If it turns out 0bama told Rahm to make the offer, or he asked Clinton to make the offer, what is the difference? Its still a felony.
Must have been a pretty amazing bribe to make him throw away his integrity.
I am sure that the Obama administration lawyers have been in contact with Sestak and have been advising him on what to say in order to avoid prosecution for himself and Lord Barry. Obviously, a crime was committed. The Obama administration, through threats and legal consultation with Sestak, may have avoided the initiation of a legal investigation and subsequent impeachment. It speaks volumes for the corruption and lawlessness of the Obama administration, as well as thier ability to wiggle out of crimes and selectively apply the law. The current administration is above the law of the land, and we are all chumps for abidiing by the law- that is the message of "hope and change" that Obama has delivered.
Suuuuure. The White House, Clinton, Rahm, and Sestak arent acting a little odd at all regarding this matter. Theyve been completely forth coming from the very start..... lol
Gee, I wonder what Obama and Clinton talked about over lunch the other day. I wonder why it took months for the WH to comment on this...and when they finally do, Sestak's story changes just a bit.
And hey liberals, even if you really dont think there is a "scandal", if you are going to sit here and say you honestly say you think Sestak and the WH are being honest right now, then you are either liars or fools. Its pretty obvious they are covering something up.
