IF it’s the Secretry of the Navy position then only the President can appoint someone to fill that position, therefore Obama must have given his consent to Rahm…no doubt about that.

IF it’s the Secretary of the Navy position…

Holder won’t be in office forever, and all the things that Obama has done can be prosecuted after he leaves office. He can be impeached after he leaves office too. That way he won’t get anymore of the taxpayers’ dollars wasted on his sorry self. If he is impeached and convicted, he gets no pension, no Secret Service, no staff money, nada. And he cannot hold ANY public office in the US again. Not even dogcatcher. If it’s a taxpayer funded salary, he can’t have the job. So he will have to live off his book sales, and whatever his friends care to toss his way in the way of money. Given he won’t have any influence and be a disgraced political figure, my guess is that he won’t get much from them. Unless he becomes a Muslim charity case, like Idi Amin.

- Durbin: Sestak needs to explain job offer Politico, by Meredith Shiner Original Article 5/25/2010 Majority Whip Dick Durbin says Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) should come clean about exactly what he was offered to drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate primary. "At some point, I think Congressman Sestak needs to make it clear what happened," Durbin said. Durbin, a close Obama ally, would not specify whether the administration should make a stronger case in denying Sestak's charge that the White House offered the congressman a job in order to end his primary bid against sitting Sen. Arlen Specter. Sestak ended up winning the primary last week.

- The Real Question For Joe Sestak — ‘When Did You Stop Beating Your Wife?’ Big Journalism, by Jeff Dunetz Original Article 5/25/2010 Congressman Sestak, if you are telling the truth about the job offer and not being forthcoming, you are covering up a possible crime. If you are not telling the truth, it is a different issue: you are lying to your constituents and to all Americans. Which is it Congressman, Pennsylvania voters need to know — are you lying, or are you covering up a crime?

- For Sestak Matter, a ‘Trust Us’ Response From White House New York Times, by Peter Baker Original Article 5/25/2010 WASHINGTON — For three months, the White House has refused to say whether it offered a job to Representative Joe Sestak to get him to drop his challenge to Senator Arlen Specter in a Pennsylvania Democratic primary, as Mr. Sestak has asserted. But the White House wants everyone who suspects that something untoward, or even illegal, might have happened to rest easy: though it still will not reveal what happened, the White House is reassuring skeptics that it has examined its own actions and decided it did nothing wrong. Whatever it was that it did.

Exactly Rosa, what is different between what Blagojevich is accused of and what Oblahblah, or one of his syncophants, did?

Hypocrisy is what politicians do best.

It should not matter to decent law abiding citizens which party is not following or enforcing the law. Dammit, the “law” is what is important not some stupid political party or cheering for your “team”. Partisanship is killing us. We accept things from “our” team that we would never accept from “their” team. And the biggest hypocrites of all are the members of the media that search for ways to “not” report the news if it isn’t flattering to “their” favorites.

We’ve all known for a very long time that many/most politicians and members of the media are lying hypocrites. Please people, let us not let them turn us into mirror images of them. Someone, somewhere has to stand for honesty and the law. And we know it won’t be them.

I agree that Sestak is telling the truth but parsing his words because he is aware that what was committed was an impeachable offense. It is not the first impeachable offense committed by Obama. The first was the firing of an Inspeactor General which violated a law Obama co-authored.

But nothing will happen to Obama on this as long as Democrats control Congress.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! Including the President of the United States. Just ask the ghost of Dick Nixon if you don’t believe me. And “Executive Privilege” doesn’t excuse or give any immunity to criminal activity.
