ABC News' Bill Weir and Politico's Alexander Burns on the Obama Administration's Many Uphill Battles
In any other month, having a meeting with the Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer about her state's controversial immigration law might seem like the biggest political land mine of the day. But not for President Obama, who not only has the worst oil spill in U.S. history to deal with but faces growing criticism of the White House's past dealings with potential Senate candidates. The White House released a statement this morning defending its actions regarding former Colorado state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff and his bid for the Senate. It had recently come to light that deputy White House chief of staff Jim Messina had reached out to Romanoff before he announced his decision to run to test his potential interest in other job offers.
"Messina wanted to determine if it was possible to avoid a costly battle between two supporters," said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, adding that "there was no offer of a job" after Romanoff made it clear he was determined to run.

0 is in so deep now that the RATS may think that their only hope is to cancel the 2010 elections, and it all blows up in their face. ( For Peelosi,,we have to vote you out so we will know if you would be acceptable if elected again,,,got that scatter brain.)

“About time for an Obama Wag The Dog event. Something involving a world war.”
That’s not a bad prediction. Don’t forget they still have Rahm in the White House - an old Clinton hold-over. The problem is he is too much of a leftist to act like a hawk anywhere in the world. He could despatch ships to the mideast, so. korea, etc. but he’s too chicken sh&t to even wag the dog.

Soon there will not be enough fingers to plug all the holes in the Obama dike.
You shouldn't talk about the first lady that way.

Napolitano's ears just turned red... Re plugging holes in Obama's dike, lesbian overtones strictly unintentional. It's spelled dyke anyway isn't it?

The Rinos, the dems, the banksters and their press have plenty of fingers to plug Obama’s raft no matter what he does. You will be amazed.

When people will walk up to complete strangers in a parking lot to bear their soul about this nation's political health, we are at a point in this country's history that is close to revolutionary.
I've said for months that Obama and the DemocRATS are going to push the American people to a REVOLUTION. I'm down for it. And, you're right, the next few months are going to be very interesting.
