So far, the Obama media and the Democrat-controlled House and Senate have managed to help the Obama regime stonewall questions regarding this scandal. With Obama's popularity declining, will Rahm Emanuel, Obama, and Bill Clinton be able to keep the lid on this mess?

Analysis: Sestak case smudges Obama outsider image

WASHINGTON (AP) - So much for changing how Washington works.
Crimping his carefully crafted outsider image and undercutting a centerpiece of his 2008 campaign, President Barack Obama got caught playing the usual politics—dangling a job offer for a political favor in the hunt for power.

His lawyer admitted as much in a Friday report. It detailed how Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, sent former President Bill Clinton on a mission: try to persuade Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., to abandon his primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., by offering an executive branch post. Sestak said no, stayed in the race and beat the incumbent.

"I can assure the public that nothing improper took place," Obama had told reporters at the White House on Thursday.

True or not, Obama has a political problem.
