Who is Lying: Obama or Sestak?

Wow! Joe Sestak admitted that Obama tried to buy him off by offering him a job to stay out of the Senate race with Arlen Spector. I think this is illegal... and called bribery, not that many in the media want to report it. Actually Sestak has repeated this allegation many times that he was offered a "high level" job within Obama's administration. If he is lying about Obama, I would assume Obama would want an investiation to clear his good name. After all, bribery is a serious charge, and someone here is not telling the truth! It's either Joe Sestak or Barack Obama.

One reason to potentially believe Sestak: first, why would he make this up? Accusing the president of bribery is a serious allegation and why would he say it if it weren't true? Secondly, I believe there's a pattern here. Obama also admitted to meeting with Blagovejich on who his replacement would be. I remember the White House saying that they had met with him several times to "discuss" his replacement. Of course they only admit to meeting with him. No bribe or anything. And if it were, who would report it anyway?

Well, there's one way to determine who is really telling the truth: if Obama does not say anything about Sestak, demands no investigation, and does not demand that Sestak resign, then it probably proves that he's guilty. Think about it: a man makes allegations about Obama, and then Obama does nothing?! This is the same man who went out of his way to comment about a Boston cop's stupidity. Now a top democrat is accusing Obama himself of a crime. If nothing comes of it, it's because Obama does not want any more investigation into the subject. I could be wrong, but I say we won't hear much more about the topic.
