AP: White House admits job offer also made to Andrew Romanoff in Colorado senate race

The White House confirmed Thursday that it contacted Colorado politician Andrew Romanoff to gauge his interest in an administration job last fall as Romanoff was preparing to launch a Senate bid, but also said Romanoff had sought a job with the Obama government months earlier.

The White House said Romanoff applied for a job at the U.S. Agency for International Development during the post-election transition process, and "followed up by phone with White House personnel" once the new administration was underway.

Nine months later, deputy White House chief of staff Jim Messina called and e-mailed Romanoff, according to the White House, because administration officials had heard he was entering the Democratic primary race for a Colorado Senate seat. Obama had already endorsed incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet in the Colorado race, the statement said, and "Messina wanted to determine if it was possible to avoid a costly battle between two supporters."

"But Romanoff said that he was committed to the Senate race and no longer interested in working for the Administration, and that ended the discussion," the statement by press secretary Robert Gibbs continued. "As Mr. Romanoff has stated, there was no offer of a job."

Romanoff, a former speaker of the House in Colorado, did not mention his original application to join USAID when he offered his version of the discussions late Wednesday night. Romanoff said he received a call from Messina, who as Romanoff prepared to announce that he would challenge Bennet in Colorado's Senate Democratic primary.

DONE AND DONE!

NO WAY OUT OF THIS BARRY!

THIS ADMIN IS FINISHED!

well....guess what's gonna happen now?

absolutely nothing. Obama gets away with every disgusting thing he pulls.

BEst news I've hear all year.

They said the same thing about Gotti, etc...

These admissions are wholly damning.

You're right. But if a Republican President had done this, there would be howls of outrage from the liberal media.

Impeach the felon in chief now!

Admin has now admitted TWICE to violating the following...


18 U.S.C. § 600 : US Code - 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 selectcandidates for any political office, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

I CALL FOR A PUBLIC LYNCHING IN TIMES SQUARE!

When this first broke back in January I think, the White denied it offered a position, and now the story changes. I wonder how many times this was done?

is the statute of limitations for voter fraud expired for 2004? Dubya croaked Kerry by electoral votes to wash out the Demoncats once and for all.
ACORN DNC SEIU UAW and AFL-CIO stole STOLE New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Washington state!

I disagree. Not THIS time.

"Everybody" jaywalks from time to time.
"Everybody" breaks the speed limit on occasion.
"Everybody" cheats on their taxes ... just a little bit.

The difference HERE with Obama is HE'S GOTTEN
CAUGHT, -and- he's ADMITTED TO IT!

And Obama WILL be called on it, either by an Independent
Counsel, a Grand Jury or one of the States involved
(especially if Eric Holder plays his little games like he's
been doing).

When the Conservatives take to office in January 2011, THIS
will be the second item on their agenda ... right after they
vote to de-fund ObamaCare.

.

The most interesting part of all of this is the deafening hush, from the left side, normally there would be a barrage of posts defending the administration with explainations and excuses.

WRONG! Ask Rupert Murdock

you really think so?


what he did really is illegal isn't it?

Great!

The sooner Barry is sent packing, the soon he can return to the bath houses of Chicago to seek out nameless strangers willing to bugger him up his ass with a zucchini.

Then there's that open goat herding job in Kenya that he'd be perfect for.

I hear it's in his blood.

Oh! Well! I guess I spoke too soon, then it must be the Bush/Cheney administrations fault, that this happened. After all they were not at all tranparent and did'nt do everything out in the open like this new group of people do.

Instead there are howls of outrage from the conservative media.

Its the Same Game, both parties are playing it.

Oh, by the way it is now too late to vote out the Republicans and the Democrats... the primary tickets already have there republican and democrat nominees... and at the moment there are in fact no other national parties except the Republican and the Democrat.

At least in the USSR they had Five different Communist parties.

None the less, as I have been saying all year, Impeach Obama, then we can chew on Biden instead.

Great, let's Impeach Obama and then push for a one year prison sentence, its about time a fucked up US President gets to spend some time a prison... its been a need for about 100 years now.

Yep. The Obama Boogie.

All this interenational bullshit has been brought to the fore front by the American msm in the effort to get everyone's eyes off the ball of Impeaching Obama for high crimes and misdemeanors, and then taking him and many other to treason trials.

Yes, it is very illegal.

Obama used his POTUS political appointment ability to
influence elections. That's illegal, even though some
Liberal hacks say, "well, everybody in politics does it."

If so, then those hacks need to cite examples from OTHER
presidents. The fact is, they can't.

The fact IS that the following law sounds like it was almost
specifically written for Obama and what he did:

18 U.S.C. § 600 : US Code - 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.

.

Yep.

How often in 2008 did we hear: "Isn't it about time we had
a black president?"

Now we get to ask: "Isn't it about time we've had a
president serve time in prison for crimes he committed."

Obama's gonna find out, first hand, why prison is called
"the pokey" and "the slammer"

.

SO TRUE!
What a great old song...brings back memories of childhood...

New boss same as the old boss...

Well, since the rule of law no longer exists in Washington and criminals rule the roost, this will go absolutely nowhere. The Dems will make some kind of back door deal with the republicans and everything will be made right.
