		<description><![CDATA[If this went down as the WH is presenting it, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if Bill agreed to it so he could spin the situation against Obama.
If Bill agreed to &#039;tell the story&#039; after the fact and was NOT actually involved up front, you can bet Obama is in for some embarassing times ahead as Bill calls in his 30 pieces of silver.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;He voted three times to allow premature infants to die unattended in hospitals.&lt;/i&gt;

That just doesn&#039;t gain any traction with anyone other than those people who are already pro-life.  To the people who accept the statement of &quot;abortion should be legal, safe and rare&quot; as a legitimate position, the manner and time in which the abortion occurs doesn&#039;t matter.  And the pro-aborts will twist the above statement into oblivion.

But I don&#039;t want this to become a threadjack...

I agree with you - nothing sticks to a person who is adored and admired by the vast majority of those who report.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regardless of anyone&#039;s position on the birth certificate issue, facts remain that the administration has spent a boatload of cash fighting the &quot;birthers.&quot;  Not to mention the Obama&#039;s home purchase deal with Chicago crook Tony Rezko, or a host of other issues that have from the beginning called into question the integrity of Mr. HopeNChange.  

Note to the Leftists: NONE of this is a surprise to Conservatives.

		<description><![CDATA[So, what went wrong?  The buyers can&#039;t all be suburbanites, can they?  (grin)

There are people who will pay the tax for the convenience - and this is okay.  There&#039;s no way around Nanny Bloomberg&#039;s salt regulation, though - even if I wanted to pay for some authentic Westphalia bacon, I couldn&#039;t buy it in NYC.  Just stupid.

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t get me wrong.  I think both situations reek of Chicago politics.

Bill Clinton has lunch with Obama one day, and then the next they issue a memo detailing his supposedly innocuous involvement with Sestak?  Just coincidence, right?

Sestak would have considered dropping out of race for an uncompensated advisory position?  Please

And now we have Andrew Romanoff in Colorado producing e-mails of job offers he got from White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina to drop out of his race with Michael Bennet.  whoops

That being said, this is all going to get a collective shrug from the general electorate.  How hard is it going to be for the DNC to produce dozens of examples of political deals cut by Republicans?  They don&#039;t even have to involve the President or be remotely close to what Team Obama has done.  Most people won&#039;t make the distinction.  They will just assume this sort of thing is done in Washington constantly and the only difference here is that Republicans are trying to make trouble for Obama.

Yes, it shows yet again that the &quot;most transparent administration in history&quot; is anything but.  It also shows that the guy who was going to be a different breed of politician, is just another politician, only more so.  So let Hannity and others hit him with that for a bit, but let it go.  It&#039;s not going to stick.  And there are plenty of thing with which to hit him (health care, oil slick response, persecution of Arizona immigration law, etc.)]]></description>
