White House Accused of Federal Crime in Specter, Bennet Races

Apparently Corruption and graft is the norm now....

The allegation first surfaced in an interview Sestak gave last month to Philadelphia television anchor Larry Kane. A veteran journalist, Kane was previously best known for his coverage of The Beatles' 1964 American tour, and for a memorable appearance John Lennon made, delivering a zany weather report, on Kane's local Philadelphia TV broadcast in 1975.
"Were you ever offered a federal job to get out of this race?" Kane asked Sestak on an episode of Comcast Network's "Larry Kane: Voice of Reason."
"Yes," Sestak replied.
"Was it the Navy secretary?" Kane followed up.
"No comment," said Sestak, adding. "I would never get out for a deal. I'm in this for the Democratic principles."
"OK," Kane cut in. "But was there a job offered you by the White House?"
"Yes," Sestak replied.
Asked if it was a "big" job, Sestak declined further comment.
By Feb. 23, the allegation arose at the White House daily press briefing.
"I have seen some stuff that (Sestak) said, but I have not looked into this," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said.
Four more times over the next three weeks, Gibbs deflected reporters' questions about the Sestak allegation.

........
The public, Feldstein suggested, is unlikely to get too worked up about the Sestak allegation.
"This kind of 'I'll give you a job if you do X or Y,' or 'I'll give you a favor if you do X or Y' is the way Washington works, on both parties," he said. "Much as in the health care debate, when senators were bought off with exceptions in their states: Nebraska, Louisiana, and so forth. So, like sausage-making, it's not a very pretty sight."

The only place this is causing a stir is....nowhere, really. Because few people that can do anything about it care. This story has been carried on conservative blogs for a few weeks now and it's really gone nowhere.

I don't like it but this is politics as usual for DC. Obama is quite likely the most corrupt president we've ever had.

Remember in November.

I am truly hopeful he will go down as the worst president in history...even worse than carter.
