05-27-obama Good news! President Obama says there will be an answer on whether his White House attempted to bribe Rep. Joe Sestak to stay out of the senate primary in Pennsylvania.
But not yet.
Sure, it would seem that with White House spokesman Robert Gibbss assurance that all conversations between Sestak and the White House were appropriate, the president could have easily answered the question Thursday during his first news conference in nearly a year.
But why answer the question now when the administration can drag it out even longer?
There are more opportunities for really positive exchanges to happen between Gibbs and the White House press corps.
Sestak said he was offered a job. And he keeps repeating that. Gibbs says....
...nothing inappropriate happened. And he keeps repeating that.
So is there a gray area here? Will this be another "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is"?
There will be an official response shortly on the Sestak issue which I hope will answer your questions, Obama told reporters Thursday.
No need for hope. It really is a simple question. Was Sestak offered a job?

Hey, they now say it was an UNPAID ADvisory position!! Yeah right!!
Come on Sestak, they are firing torpedoes across your bow.
What did the WH have to say to sestaks Bro?
ANOTHER Job offer?
It’s a clever two-step.
Q. When is a job not a job?
A. When it’s an unpaid job.
So Clinton’s the beard, Sestak gets with the program, and it turns out he wasn’t lying. Nor did anyone do anything indictable.
Of course, if the issue is credibility, forget it.
In the con man’s lexicon, I believe this is known as “cooling the mark.”
Remember the name David Plouffe.
Sestak was not appointed to the grade of Rear Admiral by anyone. Navy officers are selected for promotion to all grades up to O-8 (Rear Admiral, Upper Half, or RADM). Sestak was appointed to Vice Admiral (O-9) by the White House. When a new Chief of Naval Operations (CNO - O-10) was appointed, he immediately fired Sestak because Sestak was a raving tyrant. At that time, Sestak reverted to his permanent grade, Rear Admiral. That he campaigned in a Vice Admiral's uniform was a double violation of the rules.
Now we’re going to find out who’s more clever - Obama or the Clintons.
BINGO!!! Everyone wins EXCEPT the public.
Any info on him?
so far it's a toss up, whichever one is still standing after this one wins?
Joe's BROTHER was called by the White House to say WHAT WAS GOING TO OCCUR!!!!
Hey Joe....STEP UP AND TELL THE TRUTH!!!
Fortunately they have been able to engage the services of the party’s best, most accomplished liar to stand in front of the WH news corpse and do what he does best. All the millions and the mansion in Santa Barbara were totally worth it.
Who is more clever? Obama or the Clinton’s? ha-ha-ha
Smoke screen while they rape America behind the scenes.
Clever my ass. Force a hearing.
ANOTHER Job offer?
Yeah, "in exchange for you doing as we say, we'll give you the unpaid job of staying above room temperature."
