What is Obama hiding?
Obama can't afford for Simas to tesify, because it would look really bad if another member of his administration were to plead the fifth.
Like most Obamanoids, he’d probably just take the transparent edition of “the Fifth” anyway. I imagine his computer has already “crashed” too.
Hiding? Obama?
He’s loving this.
He wishes he got this much attention as a child.
Probably why he invited all those from way down south to come play.
Issa needs to rem,ember this The Most Transparent Administration in history while he’s learning about Illegal aliens, IRS hard drives disintegrating and officials lying through their teeth.
Presidents in the past have maintained this sort of thing. It’s not new with Obama.
Again and again, Issa has proved unwilling to do anything when Obama refuses to cooperate with legitimate demands.
It’s unlikely that this time will be any different.
One suspects that the negative optics from refusing to testify are at least as bad as invoking the 5th Amendment; and one also suspects that Issa will not let this critical issue drop.

The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.
If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
Luke 4:5-7
put the soldiers in jail and they will give up the capos. Put the capos in jail and they will give up the don.
There’s not a smidgeon of corruption.
The problem remains that absolutely no one can see it.
And then there is this?
"Patrick aides still openly marvel at Simas’s grassroots organizing skills, and the fact that he has a working phone bank in the basement of his Taunton home."
No potential for staffer Simas to undertake campaign activities there, right?
Nahhh!

Hold the AH in contempt.

The White House on Friday announced David Simas, a senior adviser to President Obama who managed the healthcare rollout, will head up a new post at the White House: Office of Political Strategy and Outreach.
The White House created the role on the heels of an outcry from Democrats in recent months that there was no political point of contact at the White House, especially as midterm elections draw nearer.
It also comes amid restructuring in the West Wing after a lackluster year for Obama with very few legislative wins, a disastrous healthcare rollout and controversy with the National Security Agency’s surveillance program.
Recently, the White House brought in John Podesta, who served as chief of staff to former President Clinton, along with Phil Schiliro, a trusted hand who ran the White House office of legislative affairs at the start of Obama’s presidency.
The new office, headed up by Simas, will coordinate the White House political strategy and outreach activities. It will also serve as the main point of contact for national, state and local political groups, according to a senior administration official. The office will also work with constituent and political groups as well as plan and craft big-picture strategies to achieve White House goals, the senior official added.
Simas will also be the voice of reason on what administration officials are allowed to do on the campaign trail.
Additionally, the office will “advise and assist” Obama and keep him informed about “the current political environment,” the official said.

The Obama administration is bringing campaign polling coordinator David Simas into the White House, part of a wave of staffing decisions announced Friday.
The pollster, David Simas, served as Director of Opinion Research for Obama’s re-election, running the campaign’s extensive focus group and polling operation, which aides later revealed was generations ahead of what Mitt Romney’s campaign was capable of. According to a White House official, his new title will be Assistant to the President and Deputy Senior Advisor for Communications and Strategy.
White Houses have traditionally worked closely with pollsters, but typically pay for polling through party committees.
Earlier this month, Simas ruled out speculation that he might run for office in his native Massachusetts, where he was active in city politics, worked for Gov. Deval Patrick (D) and apparently kept a working phone bank in his basement, according to The Boston Globe.
