I Know Why The WH Waited On The Sestak Question.....
The WH knew all along they had done nothing wrong, they had the correct response. They had President Clinton to back up their story and Sestak himself. The pundits were salivating. As this dragged on, let's start with Issa and how foolish he now looks, egg all over his dumb face. The screechers on the right, like Morning Joe, Mika, Buchanan, et al. Let's take a look at Fox who are still spewing this nonsense (they're always a day late on news changes). How foolish do they all look now? How do viewers view the right at this point? I do think Prez has been playing around with that chess board again on company time and I love it!

7. If that's what they were doing, it was very foolish. Stories like this
need to be stopped as quickly as possible because the longer they are out there, the more people there are who will believe them. Every political strategist knows this, every PR firm regardless if it's politics or something else.

Kill the virus before it spreads. Sort of like stopping the leak before it becomes a flood.

4. I don't think it's wise chess to let a lot of people believe for an overly long time
that your administration, your White House, your party and your Senate candidate are involved in a "bribery" scandal.

I googled Sestak yesterday for something and "Sestak bribe" was the second thing to pop up.

I think that the moment it came up, it should have been squelched. That's not to say that we shouldn't make lemonade with the lemons the Repubs have provided however. Now they are in the uncomfortable position of having to say that both Bush and Reagan who actually DID make offers of the type they insist on calling felonious, did nothing wrong OR they too were guilty of "impeachable bribery". The only one who is in the clear is Obama.

They will have to contort themselves into pretzels.

just like their whackdoodle Birfer insanity.

No wonder the Faux Conservatives (R) are going broke all over the place.

Guess their edumacation never included reading the story of Chickenhawk Little (R) After he whined and clucked and carried on in a paranoid hissy fit, his panties all in a needless bunch, people stopped paying any heed whatsoever to Chickenhawk Little (R)

6. What I love is that Sestak says that the president in question was Clinton, not Obama
How stupid do those witch hunters look now?

8. I'm also going to speculate that this might have been Rahm's "baby"
to handle and he told Sestak to hold back on a response. "Let the f*&$%rs hang themselves a while longer." Again, that's my speculation but I get joy from it....LOL.

11. Another media rope-a-dope by the Prez. I think he really enjoys this stuff.
He apparently has little patience with the stupid, shallow games they play and likes to see them with egg on their face. GoBama! :patriot:

12. The GOP trick is to get Obama to deny it.
Then the pundits will jump all over it, claiming a cover-up. The damage is done. Cover-up is what the GOP does.

an old saying: It doesn't matter if someone sleeps with a Pig, just get them to deny it.
