Clinton Denies White House Version of (Sestak) Jobsgate Scandal (Rat spat corruption alert)
American Spectator ^ | August 13, 2010 | Jeffrey Lord

Uh-oh.

Former President Bill Clinton, campaigning this week for Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee Joe Sestak, has been caught on video contradicting the Obama White House official statement on the Jobsgate scandal.

Not once. Not twice. But three times.

The scandal involved a February allegation by Sestak that the Obama White House offered him a job if he would back off a challenge to incumbent Democratic Senator Arlen Specter. After months of silence and controversy swirling around the issue, the White House was forced to admit it had in fact not only offered a position to Sestak but offered a choice of three to Colorado Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff. Romanoff was preparing a bid against incumbent Democratic Senator Michael Bennet, a race he lost to Bennet on Tuesday.

California Congressman Darrell Issa, the ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has seen the tape and immediately pounced, pointedly noting there seemed to be "three sides" to the Jobsgate story.

First, the background.

My thoughts exactly. Zero has messed with the Clinton machine, and they don’t take very kindly to that. The usurper also stole the nomination from Hillary, and paybacks from the Clintons can be he**.

It was a ridiculous, cooked up at lunch twenty-four hours before story when they tried to pull it back when, now to have Billy Jeff go out of his way to answer a question he could have very easily ignored is sooooooo telling — I cannot wait for Issa to get his chairmanship and get the admitted perjurer before him to explain why Billy Jeff allowed himself to be used publicly, why he did not make a formal declaration THEN, when the White House was putting out the fraud claim.

You must remember who we're dealing with here. This is the same guy who quibbled over the definition of "is."

In his mind, he could have meant anything.

Bubba: “What possible reason could I have to lie?”

Obama: “Bush’s fault!”

What amazes ME is that if this were a Republican administration, media outlets—networks, newspapers, magazines...they would not let the story go.

Imagine: a President essentially BRIBING a candidate not to run, and the candidate ADMITTING it happened....

The press would have a field day. But no, they aren’t going to go against their Beloved Messiah, Barack Hussein Obama.
