I can't believe this White House is this stupid.
Coming immediately after (or for that matter, during) the entire dust up over the Joe Sestak controversy, we find out this is NOT the first time the White House not only offered someone a job to pull out of a race...but also, it was not the first time they lied about it.
Andrew Romanoff was apparently offered a job to help clear the way for Michael Bennet in the Colorado Senate primary. At the time, the White House denied story:

Not stupid, just brazen. The RNC won't make a stink about high crimes, the MSM sure as heck won't.. so there's no risk it seems for them to do anything.
Welcome to Chicago.
Rahm leak? I’m beginning to suspect he has deduced that the best service he can provide to his party is to sideline Obama ASAP. Or possibly he wants to save his own skin by diverting attention from the inevitable disclosures that will come during Blago’s trial that begins tomorrow. His role in facilitating some sort of deal with Blago on a Senate nominee last December will look small potatoes if the MSM is eagerly digging into the possibility of a presidential impeachment. It will be interesting to see if this leak is followed by any leaks regarding Obama/Blago corruption in the weeks ahead.
The drip-drip-drip of corruption could be fatal to this president who is already severely weakened by his incompetent handling of the Gulf oil spill and the way events are spinning out of control in the ME and NK.
Exactly. And the silence, the lack of commentary on the legalities from the Left-wing propaganda outlets, is deafening.
American Spectator has an article up about how when Clinton was in office, and Rahm was a senior staffer, the policy was “No notes, no subpoena”. Since we know Slick Willie has been brought into this personally, I have no doubt that there are no notes or other witnesses to any discussions about how to control the Sestak affair that took place, so it will be almost impossible to prove anything, even if a SP was appointed, (and one will not be).
We are dealing with professional liars and careful agitators who did not get where they are by being stupid. I have no doubt there were illegal offers made here, but the most likely perps are way too slick to make rookie errors. Appearances mean nothing to these people, it’s what you can prove in court that counts.
Nothing to see here...move on...
Offering jobs to drop out of political races is SOP for the democrats. It is only illegal when a Republican does it.
Here in Utah we had a Republican candidate for State Treasurer’s office that was alleged to have offered his Republican opponent a high-level job if he would “drop out” (allegedly). The democrats and their ally whores in the media made such a stink out of it that they forced the offeror out of the race, which the offeree ultimately won. The offeror eventually had to pay some kind of fine and was hounded out of public life.
Think we’ll see anything like that when democrats are involved?
Chicago style politics!...A special Thanks to all you damn asshats who voted for this disaster!
I can.
Well, you see?
This is just the norm, no big deal.
President Obama also got a vote for Obamacare from a Senator with a judicial nomination for his brother.
So we are going to need to determine (A) whether it is criminal for Obama to trade government jobs for deeds and votes and (B) how many times he pulled this stunt.
Romanoff tonight came out and released emails, showing he was offered his pick of three jobs, not just one. It also puts White House staffers on notice.
Man, Romanoff must be really pissed at Obama, huh?
Wow, I love watching Dems self destruct.

Why would anyone be surprised? This guy has been bribing since day one. His first bribe was to Hillary. SOS for an endorsement and the PUMA voters. Then all the bribes with the health care bill. This is the Chicago way which makes me believe he was knee deep in the Blago deal. And the FBI saw it was going in that direction and immediately made the arrest and made it public so as to protect zero.
Obama got into Nixon’s stash and just couldn’t help himself, he had to cover up his actions . . . just following in Nixon’s example. Like Nixon, Obama thinks he’s above the law.
Surprise, Obama. You’re making Nixon look honest!
Where are the Woodward and Bernstein clones in the Media?
None of these guys are experienced business managers, so when things get turned over to the underlings, email notes are ham-fistedly detailed. Such are discoverable, and if the Right can take over both houses of Congress in 2011, there will be more than sufficient evidence available to make the Right-wing speaker--could even be Sarah Palin--President!
