AP: White House admits job offer also made to Andrew Romanoff in Colorado senate race | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 373696 United States 06/03/2010 12:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. [link to www.washingtonpost.com] |

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. . |
