Just as Obama as done with every hint of impropriety and scandal, he – through his people of course – act as if he were the victim.

Tapper at ABC:

“Sources tell ABC News that officials on the Obama Transition Team feel that before he was formally offered the job of commerce secretary, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was not forthcoming with them about the federal investigation that is looking into whether the governor steered a state contract towards a major financial contributor.

Once the investigation became more widely known through national media reports last month, sources tell ABC News, the Obama Transition Team realized the FBI would not be able to give Richardson a clean political bill of health before the new administration is ready to send his nomination up to the Senate for confirmation.

The Richardson camp says the governor was forthcoming, with sources close to the governor noting that there had been reports about the controversy in local media such as the Albuquerque Journal as far back as August 2008. The governor discussed the investigation with the Obama team, they say, and believes that he and his administration have done nothing wrong.”

Just as it was during the Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Clinging to Guns and Religion scandals, it’s everyone’s fault but Peter Pan’s. So we are therefore to assume, as it’s the only plausible assumption, that Obama’s vetting process for key cabinet positions is flawed, and therefore cannot be trusted?

What then don’t we know about other key cabinet picks? I guess a secondary question here is whether or not the leader-to-be of the free world is going to spend the entirety of his administration blame-gaming everyone else for his or his administration’s failures?
