Specter Hitting Up Obama For Administration Job

Outgoing Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Penn., is asking for a job from the White House, according to ABC News’ Jake Tapper.

Specter reportedly is saying that he would like to remain in public service after his Senate term ends at the end of this session. White House officials are keeping an open mind about possible job openings for him.

Specter, who was defeated in his March primary by Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Penn., is a close friend of Vice President Joe Biden.

Neither the White House nor Specter had any comment.

But talk of such a job is raising eyebrows among Specter’s Republican Senate colleagues. They’re taking a close look at his recent votes.

For instance, Specter seemed not particularly impressed with Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, whose nomination as Solicitor General Specter opposed last year...

This week he announced support for her Supreme Court nomination.

He better hope he can stay in "public service". This sorry beggar wouldn't last ten minutes on a real job.

As a Pennsyvanian, I have supported Specter for years. He has been a great senator for our state. I hope he quits when he no longer has something to give, and not because of the changing tides of politics.
