Oh, what a tangled web...Obama's Watergate?

Deep Throat: You let Haldeman slip away.

Woodward: Yes.

Deep Throat: You've done worse than let Haldeman slip away, you've got people feeling sorry for him. I didn't think that was possible. In a conspiracy like this, you build from the outer edges and go step by step. If you shoot too high and miss, everybody feels more secure. You've put the investigation back months.

Woodward: Yes, we know that. And if we're wrong, we're resigning. Were we wrong?

Fast forward to 2010

Clinton: Joe. Obama has already endorsed Specter. If you drop out of the race against Specter, we can get you a cush job in the regime.

Joe Sestak: No.

Clinton: We know that Obama isn't going to get a second term. We need you to drop out of the primary so Arlen can hold his seat and we can keep a majority in Congress.

Joe Sestak: No.

Clinton: Look, Joe. Rahm has promised me that he can get you a top level job in the regime. We need you to stay in the House of Representatives because of your military background.

Joe Sestak: No. If I'm wrong, then they won't vote me into the Senate during the election.

It's almost as if the above scenario between Bill Clinton and Joe Sestak was taken right out of All the President's Men. Of course, it's my own opinion based on current news reports, but, probably close to the truth.

And the usual round table discussions and Monday quarterbacking are already asking who knew what and when did they know it. Then comes the obligatory circling of the wagons by the state run media in defense of Obama and his administration, echoing their master that nothing improper happened.

And it's all irrelevant. A crime was committed the moment Bill Clinton asked Sestak to drop out of the race against Arlen Specter and in return, he would get a top level position in the administration. It's called bribery.

According to 18 U.S.C. § 201 : US Code - Section 201: Bribery of public officials and witnesses

(b) Whoever -
(1) directly or indirectly, corruptly gives, offers or promises
anything of value to any public official or person who has been
selected to be a public official, or offers or promises any
public official or any person who has been selected to be a
public official to give anything of value to any other person or
entity, with intent -
(A) to influence any official act

Up to now it's nothing more than a "He said/He said" situation. But, it is a serious one. Here we have a government official that is making the allegation that the Obama administration made him a job offer if he dropped out of the Pennsylvania primary against Arlen Specter, whom the President had already endorsed. To say that such an allegation is a serious one is an understatement, because if true, then it's an impeachable offense.

For Obama to say that nothing improper happened is already a lie, because it is now running across the news wires that Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel had asked Bill Clinton to do his bidding. This is a crime.

So. (A) Either Sestak is lying, (B) He's covering for the White House (C) Obama, Rahm Emmanuel and Clinton are lying, or (D) All the above.

Will this be Obama's Watergate? It damn well should be. If this were to occur during the Bush administration, we would never hear the end of it.
