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.

“How convenient the SS cordones off the hood, a neighbor throws a bar-B and invites just the people BO want to privately talk with......Oh and Rahm heads for his “other” citizenship country.”

“Very convenient.... and with Rahm in Israel while they discussed how to coax him under the bus or who they’d shove under or in front of the bus in place of Rahm...lol.”

Correct. 0’s “low key” holiday only yielded a few photos; basketball game and Nesbitt’s BBQ. Off limits were a dinner at Jarrett’s parent’s, the Bowmans’, home (also within the cordoned area), “workouts,” and ???

“Low key” s/b ‘on the down low.’

You owe me a new notebook PC. Made my day.

This be having some legs lol

You actually pose a very interesting point. I believe that the main-lining Demoncrats, the ones who are not Alinsky-ites, now see where this Sham-Wow guy and his handlers are going, and they want no part of it. But, they are helpless because their hands are as dirty as Rahm’s. So it is the Kamikaze plan, and they are hoping that the Reichstag moment that the Wizzard of BOZ’s handlers have been constructing, does not happen before they can implicate the Cabal. Does this make sense?

Good for Joe, He is still a whacknut, but good for him.

[Tzimisce]

Chicago way.

Not so fast. This is why the “Peaceniks” are organizing the gun-running of the Gaza Blockade, so that the Nukes start flying and the Regime can take permanent power by Fiat.

[Samizdat]

Seems to me that by staying silent and not coming clean, Sestak and Romanoff might be at risk of becoming accessories to the crimes.

[truthkeeper]

Weird. I swear I made that very dress!

[Oceander]

dirty rotten scoundrels

[b4its2late]

The wheels are going to friggin’ spin off.

[Kartographer]

So OK when and to who did you offer jobs with this administration? (said using my best Fred Thompson voice)

[PghBaldy]

I hope this is more than just a silly feeling, but this leak seems to be VERY important. Maybe I’m wrong, but someone is trying to send a message. IMO, this could be the start of the undoing of Obama.

Drip Drip Drip

And its not even a Friday afternoon. Someone at AP is gonna get fired.

[comps4spice]

I would bet they did exactly that to Hillary—a carrot and a stick. We know the carrot (Sec. of State). Wonder what the stick was/is.

Drain the swamp!

[hoosiermama]

You know the FBI had wire taps on BLank-O for some time without him knowing it.....Rezko is cooperating....Blank-O has reason to give information too....

We've collected more information than a person can read at one sitting....Just wonder what Fritz and the FBI have collected or are in the process of collecting.

The onion is being pealed one layer at a time....and this entire trial (without the major culprits as the target) has the potential of setting up several of the internal layers for perjury charges at a later date. No reason to take the fifth if they aren't the target...Once testimony is given, once the lies have been spoken ZAP!

[Rapscallion]

Once is a mistake. Twice is a habit.

[SunkenCiv]

Popcorn?

[penelopesire]

I am just talking about the trial. No doubt all hell is about to break lose thanks to Obama’s incompetence in foreign policy, the oil spill and our economy. Just trying to have a momentary bit of gallows humor....lol.

BTW..Has anyone discussed the possibility that this new Turkey/Iran ‘partnership’ might be a sign of very bad things to come in Iraq? I haven’t seen one reporter discuss the potential for some bad things happening if Turkey and Iran invade Iraq. Turkey has a bunch of Islamists running the place now and is Iran’s new best friend!They both think parts of Iraq should be theirs.

Yep...there is a bad moon rising too. Our enemies sense weakness (if not downright partnership) in our POTUS.
