Hope and Change? "We Hope You Change Your Testimony, General"

"Gen. William Shelton, head of the Air Force Space Command, told House members in a classified briefing earlier this month that he was pressured to change prepared congressional testimony in a way that would favor a large company funded by Philip Falcone, a major Democratic donor, congressional sources told Fox News."

-Fox News byline

Remember the heady days of President Obama's campaign when he kept promising "Hope and Change"?

We all figured-You all figured there would be no  more politics as usual, pay to play and government favors for those who contributed big bucks, right?


Oh yee suckers.

Let us remember one thing-especially you folks who say, "They all do it." When you testify before Congress, you do so under oath. If what General Shelton says is accurate, we are talking about subornation of perjury. And for you UC Santa Cruz Community Studies majors, that is a crime. Take it from one who has testified under oath hundreds of times-and always did so honestly. There should be no tolerance for this.

If this keeps up, the Obama administration will catch up with the Clinton administration in scandals.

Or maybe he was pressured by Karl Rove to make this statement to the committee? That's the problem with double agents -- knowing to whom, if anyone, their real loyalty belongs. (Hat tip to Professor Bernardo de la Paz.)
