McCaskill asks for investigation into Obama administration’s sole-source vaccine contract
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/24/11 | Will Rahn

Posted on 11/24/2011 3:33:27 PM PST by ColdOne

Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, has asked The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to review the Obama administration’s award of a $443 million sole-source contract to a company owned by a major Democratic donor.

The Los Angeles Times reported earlier this month that the Obama administration has taken unusual steps to procure an experimental smallpox vaccine from a company owned by a major Democratic donor despite concerns from some experts that such a drug was unnecessary and would not be effective.

Citing “serious questions” about the contract, the Los Angeles Times reported that McCaskill has asked the inspector general of HHS to investigate. McCaskill is the chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Contracting and Oversight.

So, readers might be wondering: why would the Ubama Administration tell a corrupt socialist piece of dog feces like McCaskill to ask for this investigation? Here’s a clue: the “investigation” will be handled by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In other words, the Ubama regime will be investigating itself.

Apparently, the Ubama regime got word that this latest example of its corruption was going to be exposed one way or the other, and so this preemptive strike gives the administration an opportunity to “clean things up” and get stories straight. They are simultaneously buying some time.

This is really nothing more than that. Don’t look for anything serious to be done about Ubama’s corruption. Ubama and the rest of those animals are really, really good at the corruption thing.

McCaskill is up for reelection in Missouri and is trying her best to establish herself as anti Obama.

Notice McCaskill didn’t ask the Senate to investigate anything...

A few months ago there was an Executive Order about this and Andy Stern.

Like they're just now finding out about this?

Screw 'em all ... no re-election, especially to the ones that are now acting so patriotic and honest.

They're the most devious and dangerous to our Republic.
