Sestak, Obama and the lies

Representative Joe Sestak originally indicated that he was offered a high powered position in the Obama administration last February while competing with Sen. Arlen Spector for senator's seat. This allegation as well as Sen. Spector switching parties did not sit well with the voters and Sen. Spector was defeated in the primary. Since President Obama threw his support to Sen. Spector, the allegation made by Joe Sestak seemed very plausible. In fact on numerous occasions, Rep. Sestak repeated this allegation and at no time did he indicate that the position was not a non-paying position. Now, after many months with this allegation hanging out there, the Obama administration issued their statement that seems to conflict with what Rep. Sestak claimed. It does not take a brain surgeon to realize that the response from the Obama administration that former President Clinton contacted Rep. Sestak and made an offer for a position that he could have if he dropped out of the race seems far fetched. Now this position was a non paying advisory board member that did not seem to be such a high powered position. The Obama administration also indicated in its response that Rep. Sestak could keep his position as a Congressmen. Now that seems to conflict with Article 1, section 6 of the U.S. Constitution that does not allow a seating Congressmen to hold an additional position in any administration. I guess, the Obama lawyers are not a smart as they think even though the offer to Sestak was also a violation of U.S. Code. For those that voted for transparency and an end to politics as usual in Washington, got politics as usual as defined by Chicago standards and transparency even though you do not see it. That is how transparent this administration is. Now everyone is coming to Obama's defense by claiming this happens all the time in Washington. So much for change you can believe in, although I believe they mean what happens in Chicago all the time.
