Oh yes. There is something nasty in the air. It leaves a greasy tang inside your nostrils if you walk through the foul mist emanating from the White House. Maybe Obama's gotta cut back on Michelle's sewer-enriched collard greens.
From Jeffrey Lord in the American Spectator:
A bombshell has just exploded in the 2010 elections.
For the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused -- by Democrats -- of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both, according to Title 18, Chapter 11, Section 211 of the United States Code.
The jobs in question? Secretary of the Navy and a position within the U.S. Agency for International Development.

So,are the Dems going to throw Obama under the bus?
If only there was a “Justice” Department......
Before this is over with, in a word, yes!!
This is just some of that Chicago style pay-for-play and patronage being done at the Federal level. Building coalitions by buying people off with Government ‘Jobs’ and contracts. This is what the majority of the ‘Stimulus’ is being used for.
I doubt we see impeachment or a perp walk. We can’t right now, anyway, because Democrats control Congress and we won’t do it later when we have majorities because going after the ‘first black president’ in such a fashion would be viewed as ‘racist.’
Obama knows this and is probably getting away with even nastier and more criminal stuff than this. The Press would have fried Bush with if he was doing this.
