Quote: On Sept. 27, 2009, the Denver Post reported that the Obama administration offered Senate candidate Romanoff a position if he canceled plans to run for the Democratic nomination against incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet.
The paper said the job offer, which specified particular jobs, reportedly was delivered by Jim Messina, Obama’s deputy chief of staff. One position the Post cited was a job at USAID, the foreign aid agency.
Messina contacted Romanoff soon after news leaked in August 2009 that Romanoff, former Colorado House speaker, would make a primary run against Bennet.

I hope Obama enjoys his vacation this weekend, because he has a long road ahead trying to explain, or lie, about what happened.
Reminds me of Blago, wonder what else has gone on and may start leaking.
I think a lot of things are stirring.
PLUS the Blago deal.....THREE STRIKES, Bammy!!
Paging ROD BLAGOJEVICH.............
Where are you, BLAGO?
Your moment has arrived.
What’s happening with the investigation into 0bama/Rahm negotiating the sale of Blago’s SENATE SEAT?
Isn’t this Sestak scandal a great time for Blago to be on TV explaining how “Rahm/0bama called me to discuss selling my Senate seat, and now Rahm/0bama have committed felonies by trying to bribe Sestak, Romanoff, and also Dodd to forfeit their campaigns?”
Blago, we love you. Blago, please get your face back on TV, so the USA is reminded that Sestak is just the latest corruption scandal 0bama is guilty of.
Blago + Sestak + Romanoff + Dodd + ____ + ____ = IMPEACHMENT
About time the romanoff bribe story gets some play!
The dems could actually save themselves this year if bambi resigns, they repeal Obamacare claiming they “mis-voted”, and Biden signs the repeal, before the election.
No matter how Obama and his henchies bob and weave, Sestak talked in the context that he was offered a job if he would not run against Specter. The henchies wanted Specter to win, and they didn’t want someone running against him. I look at this as a flat out bribe. Another incident is surfacing now. So, we want to know, exactly HOW MANY incidents of this sort has Obama engaged in over the last few years, both in the White House and in the Illinois Senate?
Something is afoot that’s for sure . Even the 5th column press grilled him hard for the first time yesterday .
I am starting to think this is why the Obama Administration allowed the Oil Well situation to get out of hand to divert the attention away from the Sestak situation
Blago could BURY Obama....or Bammy could BURY BLAGO!!! Who wins????
If the Legislature were peopled with honorable representatives and senators, impeachment and conviction would be a done deal. As it is, the honorable are far outnumbered by the dishonorable.
Or if the Democrats decided he wasn’t worth sacrificing their careers for anymore, then we might see some form of punishment.
First, I abhor Obama and his minions: the detestable Axelrod, the disgusting Gibbs, the thug Emanuel, the retarded Napolitano, etc. etc. BUT, isn't horse-trading the oldest political move in the world? Don't pubbies do this? Is this different?
Blago was a quid for money, this wasn't...tell me where I'm wrong folks...
Obama’s Riverdance. Watch the shoes drop!
The WH must kill Blago now.
They discredited Blago using the media, and he absolutely seemed nuts. But NOW, he’s apparently just “the first guy” to get caught up in WH felonies. Now, Blago’s part of a club with Sestak, Romanoff, and Dodd, whom the WH attempted to bribe.
Can the WH discredit Blago AND 3-star Admiral Sestak AND Romanoff AND Dodd? Pretty soon, they’ll need to discredit “everyone who wears beige shoes” and “everyone who likes puppies.”
They can’t have Blago running around, PLUS a 3-star Admiral (Sestak) announcing on TV that 0moslem tried to bribe him.
That’s too many felonies and too much publicity.
To survive, 0moslem’s Chicago Mafia must kill Blago.
Blago, wear your seat belt!
He's about to find out that Chicago style politics doesn't work in Washington. He may have thought Chi-town thuggery would be reeaallly cool on the national level, --"I am the President...I can do whatever the I want, but he's forgotten that most of it is illegal.
In the Sestak case, there appears to be an attempt to interfere in an election by means of trying to get a Senatorial candidate to drop out so that the favored candidate would get elected. The inducement would be a Presidential appointment. And remember, that the appointment cannot be offered by Emanuel unless the President agrees to it. Emanuel can't make the appointment, only Obama can. And THAT is a bribe.
And wasn't there also something happening in New York regarding the Gillibrand election? I seem to recall that someone in the Obama administration talked someone out of challenging her. It just seems that there is a pattern of behavior of Obama being involved in these things.
Thanks for your response.
I have a friend that said Blago is a Serb. He is sure that Blago will scorch the earth before all this is over. I am not sure if it is true but it sure would be fun to watch.
