When will Obama make the statement "I am not a Crook"
-
First it was Sestak from PA. now we have Romanoff from CO. stating they were offered jobs from the White House to drop from primary races.
What a dirt bag we have as the enabler and chief. This is Chicagoland politics at the federal level.
U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff said publicly for the first time Wednesday that a White House deputy discussed three specific jobs that "might be available" if Romanoff dropped a primary challenge to a fellow Democrat, Sen. Michael Bennet

Maybe the blind squirrels - Hannity and Morris - landed an erratic blow.

There's only one problem: none of this is an actual crime, and everyone does it.
If you want to say that Obama said he'd be above this type of thing, that's one thing. But to pretend this doesn't happen all the time is rather silly. It clearly does. And there are plenty of examples of it. Everyone is highlighting one very public one from the Reagan administration which they bragged about openly.
Don't worry. You've got another 2 1/2 to 6 1/2 years of Obama left. Chances are someone in the administration will do something that's actually illegal and you can get all excited then.
-
Actually, Heck, it is most certainly a crime. That's why there is a cover-up, and frantic cya.
I've heard from experts, and heard the exact reading of the statute.
You really need to try for some truth once in a while.
-
Yes, there exists a statute that describes a crime. No, this doesn't meet that statute.
But enjoy the ride. Next you can accuse him of being illegitimate, being Muslim, trying to ban fishing, purposefully trying to wreck our economy, and doing some of the things Hitler did.
Oh, wait.

All seriousness here Heck, I do understand that this is normally a quid pro quo thing, but how does this situation not meet the specifications of the statute.
