Romanoff Cracks: Secret White House Jobsgate E-Mail Revealed
By Jeffrey Lord on 6.3.10
And bang!
Can you say James McCord?
In a revelation that will send shock waves through the American political landscape, the Denver Post last night revealed that Colorado Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff has now reluctantly admitted he discussed "three possible jobs with the deputy chief of staff of the Obama administration -- all contingent upon a decision by Romanoff not to challenge U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet."
The White House Deputy Chief of Staff is Jim Messina, a Denver-born Obama aide who served as the chief of staff of the Obama presidential campaign. Messina serves under Rahm Emanuel, the former Illinois Congressman and current White House Chief of Staff.
The Post also published an e-mail from Messina to Romanoff dated September 11, 2009 at 3:24 pm. The e-mail discusses the jobs of Deputy Assistant Administrator for Latin America and Caribbean, and Director, Office of Democracy and Governance. Both of those positions are under the United States Agency for International Development. The third position mentioned was Director of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency.
The Romanoff admission -- which comes after months of silence, denials and evasions by the White House beginning in February -- comes on the heels of a letter to the White House from Congressman Darrell Issa and two congressional colleagues demanding access to e-mails and phone logs relevant to the Sestak Jobsgate affair -- the allegation first made by Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak that the White House offered him a job if he would abandon his own Senate challenge to incumbent Democrat Arlen Specter.

Messina will be under the 4:00 bus to Chi-town just in time to miss the network news.
This helps amputate a leg of his support base. That I agree with. But that's different than saying he's going to get impeached over it. We're stuck with this guy. He is already as bad as Jimmy Carter, and he's not even half done yet. By the time he comes up for re-election, everyone but the hard-core Kool-Aid drinkers will be calling for his head on a stick. But impeachment? Not after the Clinton episode. |
dont adopt your linguini-spined, whimpering, weakling, whining, oh woe is me, roll over and take it, piss-poor defeatist attitude. I have no such attitude. I do believe that if you're going to go after the King, you should make sure you get him. This isn't going to do that. This is Politics As Usual. It's sleazy, it's against the law, it's all kinds of things, but it isn't Impeachment Serious. If you think it is, you're smoking rope. The quickest way to get Obama's approval ratings back up over 50% is to go after him with charges that the public doesn't think are serious. That's what happened with Clinton. Heck, we had the guy on perjury. But the more the R's went after him, the higher he rose in the polls. We don't need another one of those. Look: Obama is destroying himself. Every day he alienates another slice of his coalition. When your opponent is self-destructing, leave him to do it. |
I’ve haven’t seen any FReepers fight in years. They just blow smoke. There is spinelessness enmassee on FRee Republic.
There is more irrational Hope here than at an SEIU convention
Who needs enemies when the left has you guys fighting for them: You’re their Useful Idiots.
It’s called conviction, integrity, character, and moral fortitude. Whose spineless here? You’re wimps.
You’re naysayers sowing seeds of doubt. That, or you’re sleeper Trolls who are coming out of the holes to muddy the water. What ever the case may be, you should pack up and leave if you can’t handle the fight.
sirchtruth,
Yeah, we live in reality as well. And so did George Washington when battling the redcoats for the sake of freedom. But unlike men of courage and fortitude, you’re just on your weak ass, enjoying freedom while shouting at the army, “you guys suck!”. At least we know whose side you’re on.
You bitch and moan but where’s the blood?
Where’s the blood? You obviously don’t know “where the blood is?” I wouldn’t condescend to show you proof. You don’t deserve it.
You and your ilk are the Crash Course Dummies of the Left. Shut up and get in the car. There’s another wall coming up.
You are correct. Without the pressing driving these things, they just fade away.

Normally I would agree with this, but I don't want this enemy to destroy us along with himself.
Considering the idiots who voted him into office, though I suspect that little short of destruction would open their eyes. Too many of them seem to think feeeeel their own blindness is a badge of virtue.
You have that right. I get sick when someone takes pride about not knowing what is going on in the world. I get sicker when I find out they vote.
Dunno.
Who needs enemies when the left has you guys fighting for them Yeah, I've long been known around here as a closet leftist. Bless your heart. |
You make good points. But I still hope somebody has the guts on our side to make a big stink about this, is only to get the electorate informed. I think truth is our most powerful weapon, even if it often falls on deaf ears.
Well, sometimes words speak louder than membership.
Blowhard air.....no action just wind.
