If a 21 year old Mexican national here illegally and enrolled in a US university is allowed to appeal her traffic citations and felony false information rap, then I’m sure “The One” will get his day in court as well.

Well,
A few thoughts here:

1. “The White House admitted”.....Wait a second... Something smells here already.. If this White House admits something it is for a purpose. A strategic purpose... Get the press running after this rabbit instead of Sestak?
2. They are saying that Messina called this guy just to find out if he were still interested in a job that he had previously applied for.. In other words I see your application here sir are you still interested? or are you running for Senate AS HAS BEEN REPORTED, (cause I don’t know you are running for Senate...) I’m just calling to see if you are still interested since I have this application...

See that’s all it was!

And if that’s all it was on this one,then that’s all it was on Sestak. The people don’t want a specail prosecutor blah..Blah...Blah....

My question is Why is the White House pointing out this guy
without it being drug out of them?

The only problem is, this isn’t a British Comedy. It’s American real life. :(

“The only problem is, this isn’t a British Comedy.”

Then why does my the nightly news casts look like a British Comedy? President is in charge of the response....we need to hold those responsible accountable! Hey, you just stated last week that YOU were in charge, so YOU are the one accountable for the clean-up, the response, the repairs, etc...

We have not broke the law...we just offered him a VOLUNTARY position which would require him to quit his paying job to take...but we did offer another guy a job...he applied for it!

This guy is so naive and inexperienced, he doesn’t even realize that EVERY SINGLE person can see through him! I think THIS is what they meant by “the most transparent administration!”

And YES, every single person can see through him; however, there are those that will refuse to do so for their own personal stupidity, ideology, etc... But, they can still see through him - they just choose NOT to do so!

This is the watch this hand...miss what is happening with the other hand! It is an attempted snow-job! It is a really bad magic act!

They are failing and loosing ground over the oil disaster!
They are failing and loosing ground on the Sestak cover up!
They are failing and loosing ground on the AZ law issue!
They are failing and loosing ground on (insert many more items here)!

So, let’s throw a bone! Throw them Romanoff; then later we can say we were simply following-up on his application. They are trying to deflect and it SHOWS!

This is what it would have looked like if Bush (whom irked me because he never fought for his Presidency) had actually tried to fight back against all the stupid crap that the MSM was throwing at him! Again, while it was happening, I was so pi$$ed about him rolling over and playing dead, but if he had tried to fight back, this is what the MSM would have pointed out: look at all this stuff he is trying to hide and fight and etc... See, ONE of these HAS to be true!

The more I look back, the more I realize that he made many mistakes, but he had the class to not get down into the gunk and crap! Time will reward him for his class - at least I pray that it will!

They are using this as a side show the real show is going to happen in Chicago in the Blago trial. Imagine this headline:

Rick Perry going on trail for selling George Bush's seat. It is alleged Perry negotiated with Carl Rove who they should put in place and Perry asked for money. This shows a pattern in the Bush white house of sleaze in the Texas political way. Can you imagine the lead up to that trail?

I listened to am 890 out of Chicago this am. Blago did what was asked of Sestak and Romanoff. He is going to jail.

“Blago did what was asked of Sestak and Romanoff. He is going to jail.”

Do you think he is strong enough to roll on Obama and Rahm? Or is going to take this one for the team?

I mean, do you think that this man is willing to go to jail for either of these two socialist idiots? They would hang him from the closest tree and sell his clothes in the name of the “greater good” if it would help either of them gain a single vote - does Blago NOT know this?

No, he is brilliant using his time on bail to get his face on TV so they can't eliminate him. He knows Andy Stern was used as a cutout to carry the offer. He knows what Obama did to get his seat and hates him for not playing by the rules of Chicago. Who did Obama meet with that day he was going to the soccer game? ANDY STERN I BET.

If this were an isolated incident, the “cover story” might actually hold water. They guy had previously inquired about a USAID job, potential openings arose, but they didn’t want to offer the job to a guy who would have to quit it (or take a huge leave of absence) to run a political campaign.

Certainly makes sense in and of itself.

The problem isn’t the incident, but the pattern. Combine this with Sestak and the Blago mess, and it gets harder and harder to just say “coincidence”.

I dunno. This kind of drip, drip, drip can create an untergang situation for even a die hard communist. Remember, no one’s grip on power is as strong as they would desire for you to believe.

And still nothing will happen.

That's probably why the WH gave Gibbs the go-ahead to acknowledge it.

What a sad state of affairs it is that the Marxist gets a free pass.

The One is not subject to the laws affecting mere mortals.

And who did obama meet in Chicago during his “vacation” in Chicago on Memorial Day? The “vacation” for him was bull. Does anyone know the answer on this one?
