White House Accused of Federal Crime in Specter, Bennet Races

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.
The favor requested in return? Withdrawal from Senate challenges to two sitting United States Senators, both Democrats supported by President Obama. The Senators are Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Michael Bennet in Colorado.

This certainly is a Federal Crime and Impeachable Offense for offering bribes for political gain. This is the type of pure corruption and violation of ethics that Sarah Palin took on within her own party as Governor and the end results were jail time and multiple indictments for the individuals. The Obama Administration is stomping with dirty feet all over the United States Constitution and the Ethic Laws of the Federal Government they swore to uphold in order to achieve their marxist agenda for personal gain at the expense of the American Taxpayer. When is enough enough? It's time for the American people to stand up along with the MSM and demand answers and a full scale investigation into this alleged criminal act and hold those in violation accountable so they can be prosecuted and that includes the President of the United States.

There is no legitimate justice department in the US...otherwise there would be a special prosecutor appointed to examine this. But the democrat party is the national party of corruption...so I won't be holding my breath.

We now know why the Blagojevich trial has been delayed... Obama and Holder will delay it until the end of O’s final term, and Blago will get a full pardon.

So, is the “0bama Administration” an individual like a corporation, or are specific individuals identified as the perps?

You know, Michael Smerconish would probably work pro bono for Barry if charges should ever be brought.

For some reason I have a feeling that if the state of the union continues to decline the dems may throw "commander zero" under the bus. Unless, of course, the Republicans do well in November.

Prediction: goes nowhere.
“It’s perfectly understandable that a young president, so historic and refreshing in his viewpoints, and early in his term, confronting tremendous problems all left for him by the prior administration, might make these types of faux pas. Only the most cynical of partisan opposition hacks would seek to use these actions for their own selfish political purposes.
If it even gets *that* far.
