Obama’s Blue Dress

WH emails show direct link between jobs and political favors!

I'll keep beating this dead horse as long as it takes:

"I believed that Americans of every political stripe were hungry for a new kind of politics, a politics that focused not just on how to win but why we should...You can't at once argue that you're the master of a broken system in Washington and offer yourself as the person to change it."-- Sen. Obama, Dec. 27, 2007

Yeah, so much for hope and change. By now, it should be obvious to all that instead of some new kind of principled politics we got Chicago sleaze by the boatload!

Especially with Thursday's admission from the White House that yes, Jim Messina, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, had discussed several job opportunities with Andrew Romanoff in an effort to dissuade him from mounting a primary challenge to Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO). Personnel discussions for jobs at this level described are routinely handled by the Office of White House Personnel. In this case, Jim Messina, second only to Rahm Emanuel made the approach.

Here's the key paragraph from the White House statement:

Jim Messina called and emailed Romanoff last September to see if he was still interested in a position at USAID, or if, as had been reported, he was running for the US Senate. Months earlier, the President had endorsed Senator Michael Bennet for the Colorado seat, and Messina wanted to determine if it was possible to avoid a costly battle between two supporters.

This is the same sort of potentially illegal activity which appears also to have happened in the Sestak affair. Only this time, we have emails to back up the charges:

After November this assclown is DONE!

If we really had a “press we can believe in”, the weak candidate would have been better vetted, and maybe the metaphoric “blue dress” would have been discovered in Gurnee, or metaphorically “found” at the scene of a yet-unsolved murder in the same time-frame when there was alleged talk of the history of drug abuse (allegedly not denied) and certain alleged life style issues (apparently suppressed). Maybe we could have erased the “allegedlies” and “apparentlies”.

"After November this assclown is DONE!"

I very much hope you are correct. But I think he will fall into the "1995 Bill Clinton Defense Mode"; "boo hoo, look at all these evil white conservatives that are picking on me, a poor little black kid". The media helped Clinton craft the story of how he was the charming underdog, who wants to help feed starving babies. No doubt this will also be attempted for O-Hole. Lets see how it tuns out.

This will go nowhere. Unfortunately.

B Hussein is NOT charming. I am no Bill Clinton fan, but he did have that southern boy drawl and I think a lot people felt sorry for him being married to Hillary.
