AP Sources: Admin talked jobs with Romanoff
AP/YahooNews ^ | 6/2/10 | PHILIP ELLIOTT

Posted on 06/02/2010 2:20:25 PM PDT by Kartographer

Administration officials dangled the possibility of a job for former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff last year in hopes he would forgo a challenge to Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, administration officials said Wednesday, just days after the White House admitted orchestrating a similar job offer in the Pennsylvania Senate race.

These officials declined to specify the job that was floated or the name of the administration official who approached Romanoff, and said no formal offer was ever made. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not cleared to discuss private conversations.

“no formal offer was ever made.”

Just because it wasn’t in writing doesn’t mean it wasn’t an offer.

So it is beginning to look like a pattern of crime is forming?

If Republicans take back the House and don’t IMPEACH this BAFOON, there is NO HOPE for this country.

And if they do and Bidden becomes President, how much hope will we have then?

Move along. Probably just another unpaid position offered by Clinton.

Biden will name Hillary his VP and then she’ll run in 2012 unless Biden’s ego makes him run on the top of the ticket...lol.

Otherwise, it’ll be Hillary/Bayh = UGH

So who have you offered jobs to and when did you do it? (Using my best Fred Thompson voice) ;-)

Maybe some reporter will actually start to dig into this ‘pattern’ of Obama to try to eliminate the politifcal competition using dirty tricks and threats, dating all the way back to his own first election in Illinois. I think someone needs to look under those Blago rocks more thoroughly now, too. Don’t tell me he wasn’t up there making deals for his Senate seat—clearly his pattern indicates so, and Gibbs and others in this administration say it’s done all the time—so they’re admitting it!

I now wonder what they did (or tried to do) to poor Hillary...if only everyone who ever got promised or threatened about anything and everything, (including threats for votes) this might actually have some traction and result in his impeachment.

Alas, I don’t have much faith in our current pack of reporters.

This is too weird. I swear my sisters and I made dresses from that pattern, way back when.

But back to the subject of the thread... nothing to worry about. This was declared "OK" by the admin's Bauer guy. You know, the guy whose wife loves Mao as a role model.
