WASHINGTON (AP) - Forced to disclose backstage political bargaining, President Barack Obama's embarrassed White House said on Friday it had enlisted Bill Clinton to try to ease Rep. Joe Sestak out of Pennsylvania's Senate primary with a job offer.
Nothing wrong with that, the White House said. Oh, yes, there was, Republicans countered.
The administration admission—it said Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel had asked the former president to call Sestak—left many questions unanswered, and it seemed unlikely the issue had been put to rest. For Obama, the revelations called into question his repeated promises to run an open government that was above back room deals. And for Sestak, they raised questions why he kept talking about up the offer—a 60-second conversation, he said Friday—in the first place.
"I wasn't interested, and that was the bottom line," Sestak said on the steps of the Capitol.

After a week of silence, Sestak answered reporters' questions on last summer's offer.
He said he cut Clinton short after hearing only a few words about a possible post on a presidential board and said the former president immediately dropped the subject during a phone call.
"There was nothing wrong that was done," Sestak said.

A felony ... with participants maybe even a conspiracy. That way the conspirators get the same sentence as having committed the felony themselves.
Try them all in a court of law with 12 American citizens as the jurors.
Bump!
Correction:
Forced to disclose backstage political bargaining, President Barack Obama's embarrassed CORRUPT White House said....
I don’t buy it. I doubt Clinton had anything to do with this until a few days ago. He’s just the tar baby they threw out there in hopes of getting us entangled with the toon while they do damage control.
Back in January, David Plouffe (Head of Organizing for America) was hired by Obama to work on democrat campaigns across America. He was involved in the Specter campaign and it looks like he may have had a hand in a smear campign against Sestak by way of OFA emails.
Put them all in jail. If Clinton is going along with this BS, Obama’s WH is calling out the guns to save his ass. He is guilty and he knows it.
Stinks for sure, but as most Liberal crimes this will go unpunished.
The press is busy with a oil leak ya know.
Ask 100 people on the street what they think about the White House/Sestak Scandal, and 98% wouldn’t have a clue what your even referring to.
Nothing to see here.
It would wreak but since we have a transparent government now it's in check.
Thank God for transparency!
LOL!
There was proof that Obama was raised by communists and Muslims, belonged to a socialist party, stole the election by overseas contributions and Acorn, bribed congressmen to vote for the Obama socialized medicine ad naseum...
Nothing will be done here, either.
It appears nothing can stop the Marxist/Muslim from destroying us.

Originally, didn’t he say he got a call from the WH?
When Hillary gets home, ashtrays will be flying.
Don’t forget “high level job”. That sure as hell isn’t a conscript in the Peace Corps.
Talk about being in ‘Deep Kimchi’!
Care for a bowl of Rahmbo head soup?
It’s FResh! ;-)
Sestak originally said someone with the administration offered him the job. Bill Clinton wasn’t with the administration and Sestak has been around long enough that he wouldn’t make that kind of mistake.
As always with Obama, ignore the hand holding the flag and look for the hand you don’t see.
Full of roaches I’m sure.
Exactly. Sestak said things that doesn’t wash at all. The lying bastards need a smart prosecutor to define the word “is” in it’s usage, rather than it’s alibi.
I think Clinton is setting up Obama. If you notice, Clinton has made no comment whatsoever on this matter. Clinton agrees to meet with Obama and offers himself up as an alibi to get Obama out of a jam. So now that the White House and Sestak have gone on record with this, Clinton comes back and says he knows nothing about it. But before he does, they somehow get rid of Biden and have Hillary placed in the VP slot. The hard part will be getting rid of Biden. Everything else is gravy.
Never Happened
The hand we don’t see was crying at the Kotel this week.

Obama inherited Clinton -- and Sestak -- from George W. Bush. So this is obviously Bush's fault.
