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."

If Sestak wins, his first act after being sworn in should be to switch parties. A RINO party is needed for the likes of Sestak and Specter to migrate to.
Keep the Republican party for true conservatives.

Good luck with that my friend!
The GOP and all the RINO's have mastered the act of "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory".

Are any of the real people responsible actually going to be punished for this?
No?
Then this story is worthless.

Just because a crime is not covered doesn't mean it didn't happen and also doesn't mean it's not important.
One single unpunished crime will not make a difference but with the accumulation of many will eventually sink in to the voting public.

I think this is one of those stories that starts out small and just keeps growing. Perhaps its wishful thinking. We shall see.

“Not surprising. Consider what the Democrat Socialist Party (DSP) did to Joe Lieberman: He had to win as an “independent” but remains steadfastly and dependably attached to the DSP teat.”
Small wonder the Jews are well described as “stupid smart people”.
After Hitler and his pre-gas ovens gun control, you’d think they would not be pro-Dem/gun control.
But the Jews prove that stupid is as stupid does.

Yep. One has to wonder if the WH has a bulk deal on swords with so many people taking one for the King, I mean, Obama.

Sestak is the one who has to be repeatedly questioned on this.
He got to be pushed to either incriminate the regime, or admit publicly that he is a liar (even though he probably ain’t),

Paint drying is more interesting. I guess it all depends on what you are painting.

Time to start repeppering Robert Gibbs about this daily, as he's had adequate time to fabricate an answer after weeks of stalling before it disappeared without one.
Or maybe this could be the one thing that triggers the headline...
W.H. PRESS SECRETARY ROBERT GIBBS TENDERS HIS RESIGNATION IN FACE OF JOE SESTAK BOMBSHELL!
To: tobyhill
I'll believe it when I see it.
Look: they're never going to get Obama or anyone else at a high position to face punishment for this. The best we could hope for is a middle level fall guy somewhere.
We can discuss this if you want to, but it's pretty much an empty exercise and just a distraction in the overall scheme of things.
I would LOVE for you to be right though. I would LOVE to see one of these crooks actually dragged off in handcuffs.
But they're rich, powerful libs with rich, powerful lib friends. Odds are it's not going to happen.

Yes indeed. Why do dirty Harry or any of the scum currently in office care about re-election. They don’t. Obama will spend his last two years placing these people in positions of power.Unless the new rep’s and senators have the courage to rip them like ticks from their new found host our nation as we know it is in Titanic mode.

The person taking the blame will get a nice, cushy, well-paying lobbyist job arranged by a friend of Obastard.

LOL its funny that anyone here even gives them the benefit of the doubt that they follow the law. Arizona should stand as proof that Obama is a dictator that stands above our laws and decides what he will and will not allow.
The public was warned it chose the rat in the White House it gets what it voted for. The media have betrayed their responsibility under the first ammendment to hold our leaders accountable for their abuse of the public trust.
This will continue as long as we allow it too. Obama will spin a marvelous hypnotic tale with his oh so eloquent teleprompter and the lemmings bask in his bliss.
Did you ever watch the tv series V the parallels between ANNA and OBAMA are stunning.
