Colorado U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff confirmed Wednesday that Jim Messina, President Barack Obama’s deputy chief of staff, suggested three administration jobs that would be available to him last September if he dropped his plans to run against U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, who had the support of the White House.

Romanoff said he informed the White House that he would stay in the race. The revelation comes days after the White House confirmed that Rep. Joe Sestak was approached about an unpaid position in the administration if he dropped his campaign against Sen. Arlen Specter. But in this case, Romanoff was offered paid positions in the administration, a clear difference from the Sestak case.

I'm sure both sides do it however when a Republican passes wind you have the media there to tell about it and rake them over the coals and call for impeachment. IF Bush had done such there is no way you can reasonably expect any thinking person here on this forum to believe that the media ( and the Democrats ) would not have been all over it. NO ... I don't believe Bush did that!

Obama on the other hand did, does, and continues to and you know what. It's illegal but these Chicago folks don't care about the law because THEY ARE THE LAW and they have the media, or most of it, behind them lapping up whatever stories they throw their way.

Now lets see .. Both side do it? Never heard a peep during the Bush Administration as much as the media and Democrats hated him. So where is your proof? Where did Bush or the Republicans do it?

Face it you've got a bunch of ponzi's in t here that care not but for themselves and no action is questionable if the end of the action fits their desired outcome because that desired outcome is BEST FOR US only we don't know it so they have to do it for us.

The Liberals, LEFT, and Democrats like to use that excuse "This is nothing new" ...

HEY I thought YOUR MAN (AKA Obama) campaigned on CHANGE, not on same ole thing. Remember "Washington is Broke and I'll fix it". I will have the most TRANSPARENT Administration

I will say though some things have Changed .. super major bills effecting everyone and a major part of the economy get passed (deem passed) without actual votes and get constructed in PRIVATE without any disclosure about what is in the bill. Oh and that "arm twisting" that politicians do .. they have added a new dimension to it in while twisting the arm they say open your hand and they drop a go-zillion dollars into the hand to get the votes.

Yeah .. Change .. not the same ole thing .. Is that what you are saying?
JOHN KING: -- either Congressman Sestak is lying or somebody had some conversation with him about a job.

DAVID AXELROD, SENIOR WHITE HOUSE ADVISER: Well John, you're absolutely right, if such things happened, they would constitute a serious breach of the law, and that's why when the allegations were made, they were looked into. And there is -- there was no evidence of such a thing.

--
Now we have Obama’s deputy chief of staff offering a potential candidate three paid positions if he decides not to run in Colorado -- with email to back it up.

Obama-We're the Most Transparent and Ethical Administration in U.S. History!

Something of this nature did happen when he was in office if I remember correctly.

Also If the "HEY I thought YOUR MAN...... comment was directed at me, I have never said I voted for the man.

I'm sure they have but does that make it right? The arrogance, stupidity, and corruption of this administration is going to new levels. I'm guessing that by the time 2012 gets here Obama will not even be in the race.

We're still waiting on your proof.

No, it does not make it right. Repubs can not tolerate it from a Repub admin and them bash the Dems for doing it. Yes it goes both ways. It should be stopped on both side is all I am saying.

I think this admin is in the same dirty bathtub water just like previous ones. Same old games, new faces.

Pres Obama ran on hope and change and knew nothing would really change because the same "major" politicians are still in D.C. Nothing more than a slick slogan similar to what other Pres have used. I remember one promising no new taxes. That didn't work out too good either.

My apology if I directed this toward you specifically, which I believe I did this time. I do try and use generalizations to fit a group of readers/people rather than specific so I do apologize if I wrongly accused you. Many Liberals and Democrats do though defend Obama by using Bush or alleged past practices, without evidence or proof but you never hear these folks mention Obama's campaign promises to have the most open and visible administration where it would be anything but politics as usual.

I agree his campaign promises has become muddy like catfish pond water. I always say vote on facts and track record not on skin color or empty political promises.

There is nothing wrong with Yes We Can, we know we can, will we do it?
