Obama Now Selling Judgeships for Health Care Votes? Obama names brother of undecided House Dem to Appeals Court. ShareThis 6:15 PM, Mar 3, 2010 · BY John McCormack
Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he's obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson's brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
“Scott Matheson is a distinguished candidate for the Tenth Circuit court,” President Obama said. “Both his legal and academic credentials are impressive and his commitment to judicial integrity is unwavering. I am honored to nominate this lifelong Utahn to the federal bench.”

So now I say CIVIL UNREST .Thats what i mean and that’s what I say .We are at the crossroads folks .
You wanted “change” America, is this what you meant?
For black Americans, yes, this new socialism dole order is what they want, as they show daily by supporting the freaks that are their leaders. When black people ever eschew the likes of Farrakhan, Jackasson, Sharkton, Wright, Van Jones, and Obama, when black people demand criminals and commies in the black caucus be ousted, then America may find her way back. But now, frankly, a large majority of black people are proving they don’t like this nation and are working to destroy the old Republic through their affirmative action bastard and the democrap party. This is not going to end well ...
White House Accused of Federal Crime in Specter, Bennet RacesFor the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused -- by Democrats -- of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both, according to Title 18, Chapter 11, Section 211 of the United States Code.
The jobs in question? Secretary of the Navy and a position within the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The favor requested in return? Withdrawal from Senate challenges to two sitting United States Senators, both Democrats supported by President Obama. The Senators are Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Michael Bennet in Colorado.
Ignore this post. Everyone else does.
This in addition to Sestak saying he was offered a job not to run against Spector.

People keep saying "But we need a smoking gun!" I post that and a herd of crickets moves in on the thread.
Keep posting it sooner or later someone in a higher place will see it and start a thread.

I will keep posting it. I wonder why there have been few or no new articles on this? I don’t expect it from the MSM but there are many other outlets. Not a squeak from Fox News either. They could light a fire under this.

Maybe a disgruntled CIA agent will take care of America’s problem in the WH.
Why don’t our Republican Reps fight stuff like this?? Stupid question. I know.
DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY. Why does Utah send a Dem to congress anyway?
As Ann Coulter might say, the only time liberals care about family values is when they can use them to corrupt congressmen.
We need to DO SOMETHING!
