Corruption, thy name is Obama Administration:
The Obama administration dangled the possibility of a government job for former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff last year in hopes he would forgo a challenge to Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, officials said Wednesday, just days after the White House admitted orchestrating a job offer in the Pennsylvania Senate race.
These officials declined to specify the job that was floated or the name of the administration official who approached Romanoff, and said no formal offer was ever made. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not cleared to discuss private conversations.
The new revelation of a possible political trade again called into question President Barack Obama’s repeated promises to run an open government that was above back room deals.
This was first reported in the Denver Post in September and now the Obama people are kinda-sorta admitting to it – not admitting what was offered or anything which could directly lead to indictments or impeachments, but sort of clearing the corruption decks with some false candor…political candor, that is: the sort of thing a politician in trouble hopes sounds honest enough to get the issue to die down.
If we win in November we’re going to need a special House committee just to look in to Obama Administration corruption…
UPDATE: Three jobs were discussed.
