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."

election fraud,bribery , conspircy,etc. these are serious charges and if a Republican did it he would be looking at prison time. but for obama , what the hell!, he’s a democrat!
Are you kidding? Sestak is the very definition of a liberal democrat. I don’t want him in the senate. Period.
And they can have Jim McDougall's old cell.
Patience.
Hammering away at all of Obama's misdeeds over four years might add up to a marginal victory by a real conservative in 2012.
That's what may come of it.

“The media is odumbos woman/lover...”
I thought Omoslem’s lover was Larry Sinclair? And chris matthews....
Sestak ran as a “blue dog” who is likely to go hard left once he in the House. I wonder why he said anything at all.
Someone had to have leaked something in order for the question to be asked in the first place. You have to assume that the meeting between Sestak and that anti-American who sits in the WH would have been very private. The MSM would have never connected these particular dots on their own. One has to wonder what is just beneath the surface of this dust up.
Maybe
How stupid are we to no see this as a great way to distance Sestak from nobama. Why the hell else would the MSM be playing it up?
In your addition to the article headline you indicate nobama broke the law. Care to expand on that? Citing a source of course. Thanks.
mmmm, Obama wants Suckstak out of the race by offering a high position in his cabinet because he has a vested interest to see Specter in the race.
Optimist.
Thanks much.
Any judge without compunction would find that evidence as a bribe. These bastards are going to fail.
He offered a bribe when he tendered a Federal job.
I concur 100%.
Obama only enforces the laws he believes in,
1. Bush’s fault.
2. Racism.
3. Fox News Channel.
4. Rush Limbaugh.
5. All the above.
If you want justice all you need to do is find a Blue Ribbon commission of former Republican and Democrat Congressman. They will thoroughly investigate the situation and then effectively bury it. The Congressmen can pad their retirement with some fresh work.
There. Fixed it. The ONLY time a Democrat ever wants to be "outside politics" is when the politics benefit Republicans.
