BREAKING: CO-Senate Candidate Romanoff says WH offered him job to step aside (with WH email)
Ian Schwartz ^ | June 2, 2010 | Ian Schwartz

In a statement U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff (D-CO) was offered the possibility of three jobs by Jim Messina, the President’s deputy chief of staff.

The candidate says: In September 2009, shortly after the news media first reported my plans to run for the Senate, I received a call from Jim Messina, the President’s deputy chief of staff. Mr. Messina informed me that the White House would support Sen. Bennet. I informed Mr. Messina that I had made my decision to run.

Here is the email Messina sent to to Romanoff, describing three positions.

Hillary could run and be nominated for 2012 but she’s damaged goods. She’s obediently carried too much of Obama’s water for anyone to take her seriously.

Obama nominated the current Director of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), Leocadia I. Zak, in November 2009-—2 months after the alleged email was sent.

It doesn't say anything in Mizz Zak's bio about her running for office but I have to wonder. I wonder what a little look-back into the recent history of all of Barry0's appointments would turn up. How many were running for office and dropped out of their races?

“No doubt anything in writing at the White House has long since been shredded or deleted.
If so, I believe that would also be a crime.”

I personally think that with Sestak, he didn’t have anything in writing. Romanoff apparently does.

I don’t see a successful impeachment of the president, even if the Republicans take control in November. What I do see though is Messina being thrown under the bus. You know Emanuel and Axelrod will do anything to protect the president. Messina is the likely candidate to take the fall.

This has teeth - because Messina was dumb enough to put it in an email (they've done business this way for so long - they got callous)- they can spin it anyway they want - this is as good as the Nixen tape.

The AP had this - it's going viral.

Not a good time for more negatives for the “WON” -

Rats are racing for the rails

It took GWB years to get even close to being told to stay away like this clown has in less than 1.5 years.

Enjoy that Nobel Peace Prize Soetoro...snuggle it tight when you sleep.

What do you want EVERY trip and fall lawyer is there???

That's what I thought was most bizarre about sending Holder down there. As if it was necessary to point lawyers towards potential billion dollar settlements.

If there’s one email, then that’s probably enough to start the discovery process to see if there are any more. Next will be the obstruction charges when the “most ethical administration in history” destroys the backup tapes.

I wonder if “they” whoever “they “ are have decided Obama has to go.

From your lips to....

He's naught but a PPPP - Pretty, Polished, Programmed Puppet.

When he becomes a negative - he'll get dumped. (I'm an optimist at heart)

Holy crap, Romanoff got it in writing. Three positions, probably all three paid positions (not that it should matter if they were unpaid, but still) that Obama, and no one else, could make happen. This appears to be Obama’s modus operandi for dealing with Democrats who wanted to challenge Obama’s preferred Senate candidates.

So the e-mail did not say “you will get one of these three positions”? Of course it didn’t. This is devastating evidence of attempted bribery by the President’s staff of a person thinking of seeking a federal elective position.

Obama is accustomed of not being held to the rule of law. I doubt the Republicans will let him down.

Lol, don't know. She's probably reaming Bubba over for his recent conversation with Sestak, which didn't turn out too well.

She has looked like a witch recently too, don't know what's with that!
