Sestak: WH offered job if he left race (Obama broke the law and now for the cover-up)
upi ^ | 5/23/2010 | STAFF

Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., said Sunday the White House had offered him a job if he would withdraw from the primary race against Sen. Arlen Specter.

Sestak, who defeated the five-term incumbent Specter to win the Democratic nomination in the Senate primary, was asked on CBS's "Face the Nation" if the Obama administration had offered a position in exchange for his agreeing not to run.

"Yeah, he replied. "I was asked that question months after it happened. And I felt an obligation to answer it honestly. I said, 'yes.'

Asked what job, Sestak said: "No, no … and I said at the time, anything beyond that just gets into politics."

Ah, but just think of the power this juicy bit of information gives Sestak. It’s the stuff of which dime store novels are made.

That only works when someone (whether repub or demoRAT) has something on a Republican, especially a conservative Republican.

OTOH, the more liberal or socialist or victim class (black, hispanic, gay, lesbian, or uzzlim) the demoRAT is, the more immune they are to any repercussions. 0bozo could rape & pillage a 10 yr old girl on national TV and the media & his surrogates would make 0bozo out to be the victim and the young girl as the evil predator & therefore demonized.

I would think the Attorney General would be all over this.
Unless he is corrupt to the core.

Unless??? Is there any question as to how evil & corrupt Holder is? He dismisses charges against his fellow racists, the New Black Panthers, for holding billy clubs outside a Philadelphia voting booth! He refuses to prosecute terrorists who are attacking our country and thwarted only by ordinary citizens. Eric Holder is the number two racist in the administration after 0bozo the main commie pig usurper. We no longer have a Justice Dept, just a bunch of thugs who prosecute law-abiding citizens and let the evil bastards go free.

Brilliant analysis. WORTH READING.

I will add this though - 1946 Congress did a lotof good, enough to fix our post WWII economy.

and 1994 Congress balanced the budget, restrained spending, reformed welfare, and cut some taxes.

They did good.

We do need to stop blaming Republicans for the fact that the media is biased and Democrats lie.

He's not the only one 0bama wanted out in favor of his own guy:
D.C. job alleged as attempt to deter Romanoff

Colorado's Dems may like 0bama but they aren't too keen on 0bama's man; Bennet finished a distant second behind Romanoff in last weekend's state convention vote.

Maybe 0bama can find a place for him after January?

So is grand theft auto. But if a POTUS wires your Toyota and goes for a joy ride, he doesn’t get impeached. It’s only for “high crimes and misdemeanors”. Obstruction of justice is a high crime and misdemeanor. So is treason. Is murder? I’m not sure. If a POTUS robs a liquor store and shoots the owner dead, will he be impeached? What about rape and pederasty? Something tells me, we’d better find out before another Dem gets elected POTUS, just in case.
