Barack Obama assured the American people that "nothing improper took place" with regard to claims by Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA.) that the Obama administration offered him a government job if he would drop out of the Pennsylvania primary race with Sen. Arlen Specter.
Obama also said a White House report about the allegations would be coming "soon".
"Not months or weeks," he said.
Democrats and Republicans have raised questions about what could be a serious violation of federal law, or even an impeachable offense, if Sestak was indeed offered a bribe of a federal job.
Obama made his comments in response to a question by Fox News' Major Garrett at today's press conference.
Obama declined to get into specifics, deferring to the "soon" to be released White House report.

Shoulda woulda coulda.
Either Sestak is lying, or there was a felony committed.
There is no third door.

I guess when you’re king, that’s all the explanation that’s required.

“Obama calls Sestak a liar. Time for Sestak to tell all.”
Bingo! If “nothing improper” took place then Sestak is a liar. Let’s see how he reacts to getting thrown under the bus.
(Actually, he needs to worry about literally getting thrown under a bus...)
To: kristinn
What, me worry?
