Is Specter Selling Kagan Vote For Job In Obama Regime?

Arlen Specter is an opportunist. He was a Democrat (1951-1965) and then changed to Republican and then when it looked like he was going to lose in the 2010 election, he changed parties again and became a Democrat. In fact, Specter ran as a Republican in 1965 after losing the bid in the Democrat primary. He ran as a registered Democrat and then changed parties when he won. Who says you can’t go home?

Ironically, Specter lost the Democrat primary to Joe Sestak so now he is looking for a new job.

In steps the Obama regime. Specter told the White House he would like to continue his public service. Before I go on, he never did public service. He did Specter service as demonstrated by his switching parties in order to keep his job though it didn’t quite work out that way. Specter will be 81 when he leaves office. He has been sucking up a government paycheck for decades and it is time for him to hang it up.

Now, back to Specter and his desire to continue screwing the public. Looks like Obama might be interested in having Specter work on Syrian/Israeli relations and possibly broker some kind of peace agreement. And what would it cost to get such a job? Hmmm, how about voting yes on Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court?

Specter, who opposed Kagan for Solicitor General and who was none too happy with her during the Senate confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court, has now stated that he supports her for the Court.

Could this be another quid pro quo from the Obama regime? They tried to bribe Sestak to leave the race so Specter could win and now it looks like they might be bribing Specter for his vote.

Whether Specter personally opposes the nomination is of no matter here because Specter only does things to benefit him and if voting yes on Kagan will land him another government paycheck then he will say yes in a New York City second.

Perhaps that was Specter’s campaign slogan:

Putting Arlen First…
