Sestak's Job Offer
At this point only those directly involved know exactly what was said to Joe Sestak (D-PA) about the good things he would experience if he dropped out of the Democrat primary race for PA senator. I find it interesting, however, that the person allegedly dispatched to talk to Sestak was former Pres. Bill Clinton. I can't think of anyone who has a better and clearer track record of being able to dance around answers to potentially embarrassing questions or, for that matter to abjectly lie to the public..
I think the only hope we have of ever finding out who said what to whom and at whose bidding is to put Sestak, Clinton, Rahm Emanuel and perhaps Obama under oath and ask them the kinds of questions a good prosecutor would ask on cross-examination. It would be interesting to see who "takes the fifth" and with respect to what questions. Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen unless and until the Repubs take the House and Senate, and hold hearings on the matter, and maybe not even then, because I suspect the Dems have a closet full of dirty laundry about some high-ranking Repubs that they would publicly air in that event.
That said, the episode reeks of the Chicago way brought to Washington by Obama and his cohorts, and it should cause some political fallout.

Pitchman-in-Chief Fails to Close Sale
At this writing Fox News online is running the following in their "Breaking News" strip: "Chicago Eliminated in First Round of Voting for the 2016 Olympics."
Drudge's headline: "World Rejects Obama: Chicago Out In First Round--The Ego Has Landed." Heh.
So for all the commentary about how "they love him over there," the combined persuasive capability of Mr. and Mrs. Obama and Oprah Winfrey could not carry the day for Chicago. I wonder if the recent murder of an honor student by street thugs beating him to death had anything to do with the IOC"s decision.
The problem with putting the prestige of the American Presidency on the line for something that in the bigger picture is nothing but a sideshow is that failure to achieve the goal diminishes the individual president, the office of the Presidency and the United States as a nation in the eyes of the world. Of course "they love him over there"--he's an effete and feckless twit. And he's taking the entire country down with him.
Don't believe me? Check out this story. Money quote: "The official jobless rate stopped short of topping 10 percent only because the Labor Department doesn't count people who have given up looking for work or settled for part-time jobs." Or how about this? And there's this.
The 2010 elections can't come soon enough. The voters need the opportunity to halt, if not reverse, the damage being done by Obama, Pelosi and Reid (Oh my!)

Obama Goes to Copenhagen
I thought the country elected a president last November. I guess was wrong. It appears we elected an Űbermayor of Chicago.
Mr. Obama is going to Copenhagen this week to pitch his home town Chicago as the site for the 2016 Summer Olympics. This is the first time in history that an American president has been Pitchman-in-Chief before the International Olympic Committee.
Meanwhile, Mr. Obama insists he's too busy to expedite consideration of Gen. McChristal's recommendation for more troops in Afghanistan, has his health care program to occupy his time, along with three recently discovered "homegrown" terrorist plots to ponder and the Iranian nuclear threat. Oh, yeah, North Korea keeps popping up on the radar too. Maybe we should add Multitasker-in-chief to Obama's many titles.
I still like "Teleprompter Reader-in-Chief" (TRiC) the best. We've been TRiCed since February, and I believe we will continue to be TRiCed for as long as Mr. O occupies the Oval Office.
BTW, I've heard on the news that Chicagoans are split 50/50 on whether they want the Olympics there at all. For all the hoopla and promises of an economic surge, history suggests that most Olympic Games venues absorb a net loss in connection with the Games.
