<![CDATA[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

http://law.onecle.com/uscode/18/600.html

18 USC Section 600. Promise of employment or other benefit for political

activity

Whoever, directly or indirectly, promises any employment,

position, compensation, contract, appointment, or other benefit,

provided for or made possible in whole or in part by any Act of

Congress, or any special consideration in obtaining any such

benefit, to any person as consideration, favor, or reward for any

political activity or for the support of or opposition to any

candidate or any political party in connection with any general or

special election to any political office, or in connection with any

primary election or political convention or caucus held to select

candidates for any political office, shall be fined under this

title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

AMENDMENTS

1994 - Pub. L. 103-322 substituted "fined under this title" for

"fined not more than $10,000".

1976 - Pub. L. 94-453 substituted $10,000 for $1,000 maximum

allowable fine.

1972 - Pub. L. 92-225 struck out "work," after "position,",

inserted "contract, appointment," after "compensation," and "or any

special consideration in obtaining any such benefit," after "Act of

Congress,", and substituted "in connection with any general or

special election to any political office, or in connection with any

primary election or political convention or caucus held to select

candidates for any political office" for "in any election".

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.

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.

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.

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