GOP wants probe of White House "dealmaking"?

It would be laughable were it not ludicrous, that the same party that presided over eight years of wanton misrule and pervasive governmental over-reach, more-so from the Bush/Cheney Executive Branch, now seeks "transparency" and a strict observance of the tents of the rule-of-law, from the Obama administration.

While I am one of those that has been gravely disappointed in this current President, as it relates to several issues, including perceived White House interference in some key political races, Michael Steele and his horde of hypocrites on the right, are hardly in a position to cast aspersions, much less call for transparency.

The GOP national chairman, or designated message carrier, used his party's weekly radio and Obama-inspired internet address, to again spew his party's canned message, calling for an independent counsel to sort out the facts?

Exactly what facts are those Mr. Steele?

You mean the fact(s) that:

a) your party's operatives, particularly the GOP-led Congress allowed President Bush and Co-President Dick Cheney the free-reign to basically shred the constitution and insult the intelligence of the American people, for eight sordid years?

b) the practice of incumbent administrations influencing intra-party political races is as old and established as human civilization and has been practiced by all administrations before this current one?

c) the most clandestine deal making actually occurred during a Republican administration, does Iran-Contra ring a bell sir?

I will not belabor the apparent hypocrisy of the GOP hierarchy as their antecedents and penchant for obfuscated chatter-crawl further strengthens the hand of this administration, much to their chagrin.

If all we have to be disappointed in so far, two years into Barack Obama's Presidency, is a couple of innocuous "back-room  deals", I can rest relatively easy, knowing fully well that the alternative nine years ago, would have been the usurping of the constitution leading to the death of thousands of innocent Iraqi's and young American men and women, over a lie and a barrel of oil.

Michael Steele and his GOP acolytes, frankly need to focus on the real issues affecting the American people.

Those who live in glass houses should really not be the ones throwing stones.
