Michael Steele Calls for Investigation into “Series of Transparent Cover-ups” by Obama WH – Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | June 5, 2010 | Brian

Posted on 06/05/2010 2:23:45 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of GOP Chairman Michael Steele delivering the GOP Weekly Address today, where he blasted President Obama for a lack of transparency on the Job Offer Scandals in Colorado and Pennsylvania. Steele said the Obama Administration’s explanations for the Sestak Job Offer “doesn’t pass the laugh test.”

Steele argued it is not perogative of the Obama Administration to determine whether anything “inappropriate” took place. That’s the right of the American People to decide, “once all the facts are on the table.”

Steele goes through the tortured history of how the White House has changed their story on the Job Offers, and raises the many questions the Bill Clinton involvement in the mess creates.

Michael Steele closes by calling on the Department of Justice to bring in an “impartial referee,” either in the form of a “special investigator or an independent counsel” to look into cases.

Steele’s closing statement was strong:

“What did the White House offer to Sestak and Romanoff? Who authorized the offer? Who else knew about it? What was the expected trade off for accepting the offer? The President Promised Transparency. All we have right now is a series of transparent cover-ups. So much for ‘Change You Can Believe In’”.

Hoping Michael Steele can find his voice and generate support for any and all candidates who are not Democrats.

However, there are many great FReepers who will tell him to shut up and shove off.

The Gelding Old Party won’t do anything. It’s worthless rhetoric.

Steele has to run everything up a pole to see which way the wind is blowing, I see no evidence of a heartfelt response.

If we all went bonkers and started cheering for Obama Mike would be right in there trying to yell the loudest.

He may be a leader but he damned sure isn't our leader!

We need George Wahington but all we have is Mickey Mouse!

It would TAKE about 100.

I expect this to go..... exactly nowhere.

(’course, Steele knows it, too, which is why he’s “speakin out”)

This will soon be out of his mind too, like a kid with toys ... he moves from one to another.

Steele is a disappointment, a laughing stock as Chairman of National Party.

We need to find some Pubbies that have a mind of their own and a backbone.
