so where is Sestak's proof? Part of accusing someone usually involves something approaching evidence, or can u implicate someone w a "he said, she said."
investigate the bush administration for LYING to the american public and starting a war for money...u fucking hypocrites! You call this news???? sore loosers republicans teabaggers deushbaggs. OH! look what the black man is doin to white america! Fox news..pussies and cunts
You can't have honesty in government as long as politics are involved. Does Sestak have a problem? I fail to see it but Cinton and Emanuel certainly do. They are the ones who tried to get Sestak out of the race as they backed the wrong horse (Spector) and they knew it. The WH used Spector, just as Spector was using them and this smells like the WH keeping their end of a bargain.
By not pointing out the corruption, deceit and lies he is condoning them. By not yelling from the highest rooftop that they are lying he is in collusion with them. By not being honest about the events that transpired and pointing out the mis truths he is taking part in conspiracy.
The smallest part, the fundamental building block of evil is deceit.
Mr Fibbs will not touch this? Joe looks bad. They want us to forget about it? Hell no! Independant counsel and a full investigation! Put them under oath!
You say you were" honest."...........but would you have the honor and integrity to be COMPLETELY honest! Do it for your Country. Do it for your soul, JOE!
Americans are Not stupid..........or foolish..............you shouldn't be playing this game of deceit. The only way to regain respect is to be truthful, COMPLETELY.
While I don't consider this to be an impeachable offense, it does reveal the ugly underbelly of the mindset of this White House - cronyism and a disregard for principle in the law. Someone should be fired, likely Rahm Emanuel. But impeachment? No, not for this. Having an underling break the law should not bring down a Presidency unless it was at the specific direction of the President and a fundamental undermining of the authority and dignity of the office.
"Chicago" is as "Chicago" does... This "administration" has NEVER been really "above board" and the lame-stream media is NEVER gonna take on the truth!
Robert Gibbs is spineless and a Liar. No credibility with questions, even with the Lame media! Pathetic, a 5th grader could do better than this weasel. What a dud of a Press Secretary, LOSER!
How much longer are we going to put up with these criminals that have conducted a coup d'état of our Government in America. They have broken more criminal laws than Al Capone. Impeach Barry Soetoro now!
It's obvious the white house offered him a job, the government is full of corrupt backstabbing snakes. There are only a select few that are honest and are actually serving American's and not the special interests, I believe him.
Eventually the truth will come out just like it's coming out now about other issues. Like the oval office person never physically attending Columbia. Faculty won't talk about it. Those in school at the time donot remember "O" as they were in classes he would have been taking. PhD proving the birth cert was a fake. His 30+ years of graphics experience renders the truth.
(1) Sestak has something to hide, otherwise he would add to his assertion. (2) Gibbs has something to hide, otherwise he would add to his defense. Conclusion: The powerplay of politics is a sleazy game. Bottom line: Nothing will happen to anyone unless congress changes hands.
Birds of a feather flock together. Who is the disgraced ex-governor of Illinois? Where is Barack Obama's political base? Chicago and "Rod" Blagojevich are the answers. The fallout will be a mid term land slide win for the Republicans and one term lame duck Democrat President in Obama.
Admiral Sestak, if you stop by to read any of this crap, please remember the Honor Code. Your legacy will be the US Navy, and maybe the US Senate, but your gravestone will state that you were an honorable man, or not.
Get set for the Tsunami of endless lie's and smear's coming from the right. it's not like they have anything better to do but sit on there asses and say no. to everything we voted for.
Republican's have been doing everything they can to block what the American people voted him in for. If you can't see who the bad guy's are here? then your vision has obviously been blurred by the lie's of the right. Perfect clip for the right though, Repeat " I answered it honestly " enough and they will believe it whether it is true or not.
Prediction: BO will say that Sestak is righteous man and there was just an honest misunderstaning between he and Rahm.
Dems will stand by BO, maybe go on the offensive and say Bush did the same thing. And then restate that they will continue to run the country with integrity and honesty.
@DigitalAquarius We were sold a load of crap by BO. He's not fixing our problems but making them much worse. He's like Bush on crack. We've lost the faith in him. What don't you understand.
I'm afraid Sestak had no idea he was alleging a serious crime when he first said he'd been offered a job. He was just trying to win a campaign. Politics as usual. Now he's between the proverbial rock and hard place.
If he backs off and says it didn't happen, he loses the Senate race in November.
If he gives more details on who offered and what job was offered, the full force of the White House will be on him to destroy his credibility. He loses in November.
It's obvious that Robert Gibbs doesn't want to talk about it and it's also obvious that Joe Sestak doesn't feel like he's got anything to hide. Whether he's just got incredible integrity or he's clueless I can't tell. I'm leaning toward the former. My conclusion, based on the video is that Gibbs is covering something up.
@arkivx1 Rep. Darrell Issa requested a special counsel to investigate Sestak's claims. AG Eric Holder, Obama's crony, refused. Got to cover for his boss.
It doesn't amtter what you would liek to think...it is a felony offense to offer him a job in exchange for dropping out of the race. Get ready for the backlash...down with obama!
This amazes me in that someones lying and needs to be put on front street. If it's Joe Sestak, he should answer to a judge and jury. If it's from the White House, the same should apply. It is clear that to bribe a candidate with anything of value to drop out of a race is a crime. Lets not lose sight of that.
Gibbs does the lying for Obama so that the "Anointed One" doesn't have to face the music. I've never seen a President so over-hyped before. Obama reminds me of the character Steve Martin used to assume in his stand-up comic days years ago...a completely "in his own world persona" with unbridled confidence
"keep in mind, it's not a crime "to be offered" a job."
Offering him anything of value to get him to leave a political race is a felony!
Go read the law!
If you doubt what I say. Go offer someone a job to burn down your house and we'll see how long it takes the state to charge you with conspiracy to commit arson. If you have sense at all you would realize that the very offer of the job is the crime, dipstick!
@YellowYoshiEgg Yeah I agree. If they were smart, they would have written Sestak a letter, offering him the administration job, with nothing else inappropriate, and then quietly strong-arm him behind the scenes ... like the Clinton's used to do.
@YellowYoshiEgg It's not a crime to be offered a job if there is no acceptance (i.e., no quid pro quo). I'm saying that if the White House went to Sestak and offered to appoint Sestak to a job in the administration if Sestak dropped out of the PA senate race, and Sestak doesn't accept and says "no," Sestak is guilty of nothing (unless there is some requirement that he report the offer, which he is essentially doing anyway now by spouting off in the news).
Conspiracy to commit election fraud is a felony. Job acceptance or not. Refusal to answer the question of who offered the job would be a felony crime as well. When republicans take back the senate and house, and a special prosecutor is appointed, and sestak is subpoenoed to testify under oath we will get to the bottom of this PDQ.
@RightProud Show me the federal statute, counselor, that says that "receiving an unsolicited offer" to accept a political appointment is a crime. If the White House approached Sestak and made the offer to Sestak, and Sestak says no, he has, by definition, rejected the impropriety. You get a clue, friend. Don't equate the narrow legal discussion of what accepting an offer is with my defending either the White House or Sestak. I defend or support neither.
@jsbruzina 18 USC 600 says that a federal official cannot promise employment, a job in the federal government, in return for a political act. Section 18 USC 211 says you cannot accept anything of value in return for hiring somebody. "18 USC 595, which prohibits a federal official from interfering with the nomination or election for office. Need more statutes?
This is a felony and could put Obama and Emanual behind bars. The only problem is that it would put Biden in the top seat and Pelosi one heart beat from the Presidency which is unacceptable. No action on this should be made befor November! We can't put Pelosi in the WH under any circumstances.
Also, the White House can put this to bed by being specific, but they have a Senate seat at stake, so they're caught between a rock and a hard place - screw their PA senate candidate? Or protect the President? Clearly, Sestak is going to be smeared by the White House, the media, etc. You watch .... Obama is more important than Sestak.
Who will be the fall guy for OBAMA????? Gibbs is really a guy who NEVER HAS ANYTHING TO ADD........HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA .... the public deserves to know the facts....considering the nature of the crime....
For Sestak to come out with this admission (though he's being vague), the White House must have screwed him over in some way. Sestak wouldn't go public with statements like this for no reason. ... Also, keep in mind, it's not a crime "to be offered" a job. I think he's being vague to push the burden of the issue back onto the White House, which is what's happening.
If there is nothing to hide then why won't they investigate this? Why is the Obama Admin telling the Justice Department NOT to investigate this? If this is true it's time for impeachment!!!
Funny....this sounds familiar. Anybody remember Rod Blagojevich? I see a pattern. Thug politics as usual. Not to say this doesn't happen all the time, but they are either sloppy or don't care if they insult the intelligence of the American people in their quest for mutate the constitution. Personally, I think it is both.
This is the enviable result of not getting all the facts about your presidential candidate before the vote.
The Malfeasant Media hid, and continues to hide, pertinent facts about the history of the pRESIDENT, right down to his Sealed School Records.
We are now saddled with a small-time Chicago thug, as evidenced by this scandal.
It is a legitimate question to ask how it happened, perhaps it's a better question to ask whether we should impeach him, before he does un-repairable damage?
Impeach that imbecile that lives in the White house, His back room deals are comming to haunt him. Chicago thug Politics should not be tolerated at a national level.
Sestak answered it honestly and then he found out it was a high crime. Come on on media do your job and find out the answer the same way you would have if Bush were President!
They won't enforce illegal immigration laws and they won't enforce this law. Are we just going to sit back and watch our country be taken over by thugs?
He can't just make a statement like that without proving it. It's about time he did so. You can't be honest without giving us the whole story. Hiding information about someone he is aware of breaking federal law, isn't honest. The attorney general won't investigate. This is the most corrupt administration in my lifetime. I heard someone say that this administration is like radical, lefty, socialists marrying corrupt, Chicago politicians and I think that's the perfect description.
there is a tape now of an interview of Joe S saying it's not important and no one except right wing nuts(his words) care about this and the deal wasn't the right one. So my question to Joe is does that mean if the price is right you CAN be bought? I don't find that reassuring.
Someone needs to go to prison for this! If anyone of us flashed a 100 dollar bill to a federal agent, we would be in jail pronto!.........Or maybe not.
The barack hussein obama regime bribed the Congressman. And people get upset. These clowns who are now in the White House are from CHICAGO. I'd be shocked if they DIDN'T offer bribes. They're thugs, they use union thugs to enforce their will on this issue and that issue. It would like being surprised that Jimmy Hoffa bribed somebody.
fact is the laws don't apply to this administration. So what is the big deal? Silly people, the laws don't apply. Jesus left Chicago, now he rules Washington DC. How dare you peons question the legality of this administration's actions!!! Clearly you all are a bunch of racists!!
His Republican opponent, Toomey, would be wise to run advertisements asking if Sestak, as Senator, can also be expected to shield White House officials from protection against felonies they have committed. Being only "half moral," Sestak, makes you immoral.
You know he answered it honestly, the White House, the Obama Regime, is not denying it. If Sestak was lying, the WH would flat deny and it would have done so already. They are not, they cannot. Now, if this was Bush, what would the media be doing? This is Rod Blagojevich stuff and he's under Federal indictment and standing trial. The apple simply does not fall far from the Illinois tree.
either Nobama is bribing people or threatening them to get his way. Stestak is just waiting for the right time to come out with who it was. I'm sure he has all the proof on it distributed to so many people Obama wouldn't be able to shut all of them up.
I'm betting that Yes, they offered Sestak SecNav to give up the race, and No, the media besides Jake Tapper...and Fox Mews will cover it up. The differences betwen the way the MSM media treats This president and the last is atrocious. Bush could do no right in their eyes, while holding 146 press confences...and Obama can do no wrong, while holding almost none. Who realized that "Mr. Transparent" hasnt held a presser since last July?
I can just hear the absolute howling the media would doing right now if this had been a republican admin. They should be hammering Gibbs every single day on this. Every. Single. Day. All of them until they find out who offered what job. We're talking about a felony here.
This White House is going to be remembered as being more corrupt than the Nixon administration. Between this, the corruption surrounding the closing of car dealerships when the government took over the car companies, using donor Jodie Evans to communicate back and forth with Hamas, and appointing a Democrat no vote on health care's brother to federal court to try to influence his vote, among other scandals.
This is an absolutely impeachable offense. Imagine the MSM if GWB had offered bribes, they'd dedicated 24/7 coverage. Here's the most blatant felony that 0bama's committed so far and all we hear are crickets.
Rand Paul gets attacked by the MSM (b/c their news source is the progressive blogs) about his response to law in the Civil Rights Act (irrelevant since no one has been campaigning on this issue and it is a farce used to cry "racism")
BUT this story in TODAY world gets brushed off. No outrage, no nothing. There is no doubt that today's debate is the American people vs the MSM and progressive gov't (and a small percentage of liberal whackos)
This issue should be front and center on all news outlets. They should be digging and investigating the illegal bribe offered to Sestak. It is an outrage that it is not!
President Obama has not held a full news conference at the White House since July 22, the night he said that the Cambridge Police "acted stupidly" in the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates.
nobody is wrong, peace for everyone

Section 18 USC 211 says you cannot accept anything of value in return for hiring somebody. "18 USC 595, which prohibits a federal official from interfering with the nomination or election for office. Need more statutes?

This is a felony and could put Obama and Emanual behind bars. The only problem is that it would put Biden in the top seat and Pelosi one heart beat from the Presidency which is unacceptable. No action on this should be made befor November! We can't put Pelosi in the WH under any circumstances.

If you were an employer interviewing Sestak for a job (which PA votes are), would you accept that BS answer? Hell no!
highline800 1 year ago
Also, the White House can put this to bed by being specific, but they have a Senate seat at stake, so they're caught between a rock and a hard place - screw their PA senate candidate? Or protect the President? Clearly, Sestak is going to be smeared by the White House, the media, etc. You watch .... Obama is more important than Sestak.

For Sestak to come out with this admission (though he's being vague), the White House must have screwed him over in some way. Sestak wouldn't go public with statements like this for no reason. ... Also, keep in mind, it's not a crime "to be offered" a job. I think he's being vague to push the burden of the issue back onto the White House, which is what's happening.

Personally, I think it is both.

This is the enviable result of not getting all the facts about your presidential candidate before the vote.
The Malfeasant Media hid, and continues to hide, pertinent facts about the history of the pRESIDENT, right down to his Sealed School Records.
We are now saddled with a small-time Chicago thug, as evidenced by this scandal.
It is a legitimate question to ask how it happened, perhaps it's a better question to ask whether we should impeach him, before he does un-repairable damage?

He can't just make a statement like that without proving it. It's about time he did so. You can't be honest without giving us the whole story. Hiding information about someone he is aware of breaking federal law, isn't honest. The attorney general won't investigate. This is the most corrupt administration in my lifetime. I heard someone say that this administration is like radical, lefty, socialists marrying corrupt, Chicago politicians and I think that's the perfect description.

The barack hussein obama regime bribed the Congressman. And people get upset. These clowns who are now in the White House are from CHICAGO. I'd be shocked if they DIDN'T offer bribes. They're thugs, they use union thugs to enforce their will on this issue and that issue. It would like being surprised that Jimmy Hoffa bribed somebody.

His Republican opponent, Toomey, would be wise to run advertisements asking if Sestak, as Senator, can also be expected to shield White House officials from protection against felonies they have committed. Being only "half moral," Sestak, makes you immoral.

You know he answered it honestly, the White House, the Obama Regime, is not denying it. If Sestak was lying, the WH would flat deny and it would have done so already. They are not, they cannot. Now, if this was Bush, what would the media be doing? This is Rod Blagojevich stuff and he's under Federal indictment and standing trial. The apple simply does not fall far from the Illinois tree.

I'm betting that Yes, they offered Sestak SecNav to give up the race, and No, the media besides Jake Tapper...and Fox Mews will cover it up. The differences betwen the way the MSM media treats This president and the last is atrocious. Bush could do no right in their eyes, while holding 146 press confences...and Obama can do no wrong, while holding almost none. Who realized that "Mr. Transparent" hasnt held a presser since last July?

will lose to the republican. This is why they wanted Specter,

have to vote Sestak considering the fact that ANYONE
would be better than the illegitimate wholly owned subsiderary
of Big Oil, Pharma, Insurance, finance & tobacco called the republican party.
Democrats, outside of conservadems like Evan Bayh

This White House is going to be remembered as being more corrupt than the Nixon administration. Between this, the corruption surrounding the closing of car dealerships when the government took over the car companies, using donor Jodie Evans to communicate back and forth with Hamas, and appointing a Democrat no vote on health care's brother to federal court to try to influence his vote, among other scandals.

Rand Paul gets attacked by the MSM (b/c their news source is the progressive blogs) about his response to law in the Civil Rights Act (irrelevant since no one has been campaigning on this issue and it is a farce used to cry "racism")
BUT this story in TODAY world gets brushed off. No outrage, no nothing. There is no doubt that today's debate is the American people vs the MSM and progressive gov't (and a small percentage of liberal whackos)

Either the administration offered Sestak a bribe or Sestak falsely accused the administration of a crime.
Either way, this should be a Democrat scandal.
