This ought to be investigated. If this administration is guilty, try all involved. If the are found innocent, try Sestak.

I encourage everyone to push for an investigation. Either is a serious crime.

Joe Sestak Admits Obama Administration Offered Him Bribe

Wow, this is a bombshell and it probably won’t go anywhere:

White House Accused of Federal Crime in Specter, Bennet Races

“Whoever solicits or receives … any….thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in obtaining for any person any appointive office or place under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.” – 18 USC Sec. 211 — Bribery, Graft and Conflicts of Interest: Acceptance or solicitation to obtain appointive public office

“In the face of a White House denial, U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak stuck to his story yesterday that the Obama administration offered him a “high-ranking” government post if he would not run against U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary.”
– Philadelphia Inquirer
February 19, 2010

“D.C. job alleged as attempt to deter Romanoff”
–Denver Post
September 27, 2009

A bombshell has just exploded in the 2010 elections.

For the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused — by Democrats – of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both, according to Title 18, Chapter 11, Section 211 of the United States Code.

The jobs in question? Secretary of the Navy and a position within the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The favor requested in return? Withdrawal from Senate challenges to two sitting United States Senators, both Democrats supported by President Obama. The Senators are Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Michael Bennet in Colorado.

On Friday, Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak, the Democrat challenging Specter for re-nomination, launched the controversy by accusing the Obama White House of offering him a federal job in exchange for his agreeing to abandon his race against Specter.

In August of 2009, the Denver Post reported last September, Deputy White House Chief of Staff Jim Messina “offered specific suggestions” for a job in the Obama Administration to Colorado Democrat Andrew Romanoff, a former state House Speaker, if Romanoff would agree to abandon a nomination challenge to U.S. Senator Michael Bennet. Bennet was appointed to the seat upon the resignation of then-Senator Ken Salazar after Salazar was appointed by Obama to serve as Secretary of the Interior. According to the Post, the specific job mentioned was in the U.S. Agency for International Development. The Post cited “several sources who described the communication to The Denver Post.”

The paper also describes Messina as “President Barack Obama’s deputy chief of staff and a storied fixer in the White House political shop.” Messina’s immediate boss is White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.

Sestak is standing by his story. Romanoff refused to discuss it with the Denver paper. In both instances the White House has denied the offers took place. The Sestak story in the Philadelphia Inquirer, reported by Thomas Fitzgerald, can be found here, While the Denver Post story, reported by Michael Riley, from September 27, 2009, can be read here.

We need to pressure for an investigation.

It will either be the end of Husseins rope or the end of Sestack's career.

Can't both of 'em be tellin' th' truth.

If it hadn't been Sestak someone else would have defeated Spector. Consensus here is that at 80 it was time for him to retire

I would have to say that since Sestak was a 3 star Admiral that what he says is true. I don't know many soldiers that would lie about it. I say that it is grounds to impeach Obama finally maybe we can do it. People need to know that I highly doubt that he is a legal president anyways. I will post the link of some good you tube videos there are 2 really good ones that I know of.

Here is another one and this is a trick that lawyers like to use. Notice that the 2nd one does not say the part "and that the following candidates of said party for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the united states constitution." And also notice that the first one was notarized but not stamped that it was not the one that was filed officially. And of course it was signed by the wonderful liberal Nancy Pelosi.

Why do you think that he isn't a legal president anyways? Are you a birther?

No but I would have to put a lot of thought in the Kenyan Ambassador admitting that Obama was born in Kenya. And how about his own wife Michelle Obama admitting that Kenya is Obama's home country??

I read somewhere that they are making a landmark over there for it.

Yes the Kenyan Ambassador also said that there were plans to put a landmark there as well.
