From the Washington Post: "At the urging of the Obama White House, former President Bill Clinton asked Rep. Joe Sestak whether he would abandon his plans to challenge Sen. Arlen Specter in a Pennsylvania Democratic primary if given an unpaid, advisory position, according to a White House counsel report issued Friday morning. Clinton made the inquiries on behalf of Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel last summer, as Sestak began his challenge of Specter, a former Republican who had switched parties, White House Counsel Bob Bauer wrote. Obama publicly backed Specter's reelection bid over Sestak, who remained in the primary and defeated the veteran senator this month"
And in Colorado: ... "former state House speaker Andrew Romanoff has said that Messina offered him an administration job if he dropped out of his primary campaign against Sen. Michael Bennet. One of the alleged offers was at USAID, the foreign aid agency, according to local news reports. But Romanoff announced his candidacy anyway."

Maybe this is how politics is played in Chicago but it should not be played in Washington D.C.
And we are supposed to believe the Obama administration and Obama himself, that this all on the up and up and totally ethical? Yeah, right and I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
Questions: If this was on the up and up, why did the White House decide to deliver the report on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend instead of earlier?
And why was President Clinton involved in this? This seems be beneath a former president and especially Clinton. First, there was no love lost between Obama and Clinton and there was no love lost between Clinton and Arlen Spector because Spector was a Republican when Clinton was president. The job of go between in a Democrat senate primary seems beneath Clinton. I mean, they couldn't have found another Pennsylvania politician to do the dirty work?
This still stinks but I think the MSM is going to drop this and believe Obama and his corrupt cronies.
Obama administration: most corrupt administration ever and this means more corrupt than Nixon.
