President Misspoke On Truth

The President's assertion in his last news conference that the White House didn't try to manipulate the Pennsylvania Democratic primary, turns out to be false. Bill Clinton was dispatched to offer of an advisory position to Joe Sestak if he would bow out of the race, saving the seat for turncoat Senator Arlen Specter, who left the GOP to join Democrats last year. Instead, Specter lost to Sestak, and now the dirty details of the behind-the-scenes power brokering are coming out.

The offer to Mr. Sestak, the White House said on Friday in a statement, was arranged by Rahm Emanuel, the chief of staff, and it's impossible to imagine Obama didn't know and approve of the deal. So why did he bend the truth to reporters during his press conference? If the public is going to find out eventually, why delay and build up the suspense? The good news for the President is that the scandal broke over memorial day weekend, and with some help from his many friends in the mainstream media, there is a good chance the story can be brushed under the rug by Tuesday when most people return to work. Remember, in Washington, it's not technically a scandal unless the newspapers say it is. See Chick's BUSTED.
