Unleashed- Chicago Style

With more primaries for Congress and the US Senate taking place today, scant attention is being directed by the dinosaur media at allegations that the Obama administration offered inducements in a couple of instances for office seekers to clear the field for the candidate preferred by Obama. This is the type of tactic that is commonplace in the gutter of Daley-machine politics that has been practiced in Obama's erstwhile hometown almost since man's memory runneth not to the contrary, but happens to be illegal under the US Criminal Code. Can you imagine the scrutiny by the main stream media, the demands for an independent investigation, and even calls for impeachment if a Republican President was suspected of such quid pro quos? But the matter is ignored at large except by FOX, talk radio, and the blogosphere, with no chance that Attorney General Eric Holder will make a "Federal case" out of it, vigorously pursue charges, or allow an independent counsel/special prosecutor type to stir the pot. The matter will be a dead letter unless and until Republicans take control of Congress and reauthorize the Independent Counsel statute (if they so desire) to end the Obama administration's obstruction and actually ascertain what happened vis-a-vis Joe Sestak and Arlen Specter and Andrew Romanoff and Michael Bennet.
