Sestak vs Obama

The liberal left in the shape of the bloated New York Times is coming to the rescue of the Obama Administration, its the case of Congressman Joe Sestak a former US Admiral and the Democratic Nominee for Senator from Penn State. This story has been around for a few months, at its most basic the Obama White House tried to get Sestak not to run against former Republican and now Democratic Senator Arlen Specter, the White House from the murky water of the story either offered Congressman Sestak a paid job or a non paid job, a paid job would be against US election law, that is the bone of contention, the extreme liberal NYT writes the following, " There doesn’t seem to be anything terribly unethical about the White House offer of an unpaid advisory position to Joe Sestak..." The line comes form the fact that the Obama White House has cleared itself, YES folks it cleared itself, would the liberal NYT have accepted that argument during the Watergate scandal under Richard Nixon. As we come to impeached Presidents who made the offer but none other that Bill Clinton, give me a break, of all people to use Bill Clinton, with Clinton there is an automatic suspicion that you need a dictionary to see if he is telling the truth, depending on the definition IS is, but this blog is in the real world, one can postulate that all Administration have done something of this kind but what is so ironic is that Obama Administration is using Chicago type methods in the Oval, it seems that Obama has not learnt from Watergate, Iran - Contra and the Impeachment of Bill Clinton, Obama after the oil leak should get the fact that he does not walk on water, he is not a expert on oil and his political gray cells are not firing on full power, thus lets see if the elite Main Stream Media cover for Obama again, they might want to but this is the Internet age, lets see what bloggers can find out about the Sestak offer.

Cabinet PECKING order - Coalition Government

Daily Mail: Has an interesting story on the pecking order in the Cabinet for new Coalition Government, it points out that the Defence Secretary has had a upgrade to the top ten. The upgrade shows how low ex PM Gordon Brown viewed the job of Defence Secretary, one can argue that at a time of peace then it does not matter, but during the time Brown was PM the UK was still in Iraq and is still in Afghanistan. Thus it shows that Brown while Chancellor created the foundations for the economic crash of 2008 and had no clue about the Defence of the Realm. It can be argued with some justification that Gordon Brown was not up to be Chancellor or PM, he might have been bright but bright guys gave us the Vietnam War and the War in Iraq. Why in earth did Tony Blair allow Gordon Brown to be his successor, was it revenge on the Labour Party and the Country.

The Left and Mr Laws

Guardian: Has a tough editorial on the Laws case, the left wing newspaper states the following on Mr Laws, ".. private torment does not necessarily excuse wrongdoing.... but he cannot have been ignorant of the rules. ". The Guardian supported the Lib Dems in the UK General Election but they expected the Lib Dems to do another Lib/Lab pact after the election, when the Lib Dems went with the David Cameron and the Conservative Party the Lib Dems become fair game to the left wing Guardian, one has to wonder if the Lib Dems had gone with the Labour Party under Gordon Brown would the Guardian have been more supportive of Mr Laws.

Lib Dems knife David Laws

Telegraph: Reports that David Laws was pushed out by his own Lib Dem Colleagues, it reports that Vince Cable and Chris Huhne his Lib Dem Cabinet Colleagues pushed for is resignation over the expenses scandal. It seems that the Lib Dems are a ruthless bunch, glad to see, politics is a brutal business, the Lib Dems could not afford to spend days, weeks or months in the defence of Mr Laws, this is a good move by the Lib Dems, but PM Cameron has got another Lib Dem to replace Mr Laws, thus the Lib Dems will share in the pain of public spending cuts.

Rt Hon David Laws OUT - First Scalp

BBC News: Has a profile of David Laws the Ex Chief Secretary to the Treasury. Well folks this blog was right that Mr Laws had to go, but by going fast Mr Laws can come back at a later date, he permanent loss was hurt the Coalition Government and the Country. Lets be clear hear, its was not relationship status that was the issue it was the allegations over his personal expenses, once Mr Laws has cleared that up and is cleared he should be able to make a comeback within a year, the Dark Prince was in and out of Office, so no reason for Mr Laws not to come back to the Cabinet.
