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.

The clueless MSM get faint glimmers of trouble.

In quick answer to the title: Nah! Full speed ahead there, Zero, you’re doing fine!

I could have told them that it wasn’t going to be easy to transform a free republic into a communist police state. Americans will not stand for it.

Hillary was right when she said that she did not trust Obama with the handling of the emergency phone call in the middle of the night.

Soon there will not be enough fingers to plug all the holes in the Obama dike.

Is the Obama Administration in Trouble?


HELLOOOOO???!!!??

[RC2]

Those glimmers of trouble will grow as the States start addressing the illegal immigrants. The States can no longer afford to pay for the illegals and they will turn on Washington DC and this President. He thinks he has trouble now? Just wait.

Rats...sinking ship?

[dforest]

Well, we do know the American people are in trouble as long as the commie criminal occupies the WH.

Another way to capture viewers eyes and make money????

[beethovenfan]

Well, DUUUHHHHHH!!!

[marron]

No. We are, until we send him and his clown circus packing.

“holes in the Obama dike”

Probably needs re-phrasing....LOL!

[CPT Clay]

If they have to ask...

[N. Theknow]

Carter Administration = Crashed and burned thousand of miles away in the desert.

0bama Administration = Crashed and burned thousands of feet down in the Gulf.

Actually, only a slight majority of Americans will not stand for it.

[Spok]

Intriguing title, but I still have to call BS due to the source. In the words of Obama and the AG and the DHS; “I haven’t read it!”

“Messina wanted to determine if it was possible to avoid a costly battle between two supporters,”

THIS is a violation of 18 USC, 600!!!

Assertions there was no job offer is just ridiculous, as both the Colorado and PA candidates have already made clear there were job offers.
