White House says it contacted candidate about jobs

WASHINGTON – The White House faced fresh questions over back-room dealmaking after acknowledging that one of President Barack Obama's top advisers encouraged a Colorado Democrat to apply for an international development job instead of challenging the candidate whom the president favored in a Senate race.

The aide "wanted to determine if it was possible to avoid a costly battle between two supporters," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said in a statement Thursday.

Romanoff on Wednesday night released a copy of an e-mail in which White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina described three federal international development jobs that might be available to him if he were not challenging Bennet for the Democratic Senate nomination.

i'm so shocked the board's biggest hack posted the first defense

this looks like obama 1. lied when he said he wouldn't do this, 2. broke the law

but don't worry, hacks like onceler will be right there to MOCK teh situation in their feeble attempts to defend obama to their dying day

It must not be illegal if Saint Ronald Reagan did it, and faced no repercussions.

How is that a "first defense?"

I'm agreeing with you. You are spot on w/ this one. This is easily the most egregious violation of the public trust by an admin in recent memory.

red herring....

if you want to start a thread about reagan, do so....it is wrong no matter who does it...but i am not surprised by your running away from the subject of this thread

your shit doth stink....no one for one second believes you

 

[Onceler]

Oh, I see. All you really want is people on the left who "make excuses." You don't really want anyone to agree with you. That's interesting.

Oh, well. I stand by my sentiment. Bad, bad day for Obama & the Dems, and one that will surely haunt them for years to come.

you're such a partisan hack you don't see even see your lies and bullshit...let me make it real simple so even you can understand it....

1. i never said anything about impeachment
2. i never said it was teh "easily most egregious" violation of public trust

thus, you're absolutely lying that you're agreeing with me...you're making strawman and you're mocking the situation in an attempt to DEFEND it...

just be honest for once in your life and admit it is wrong and get it through your feeble brain that no one is talking about impeachment and no one said it was easily the most egregious

i seriously doubt you will have the honor to admit you were wrong and apologize

 

[Onceler]

Wow - I never expected you to get so defensive about someting so simple as me agreeing with you.

Weird; I'll just have to note that going forward. Maybe I'll start my own thread condemning Obama over this, since my clear anti-Obama sentiments aren't welcome here.

you mentioned impeachment and easily most egregious violation of public trust

did i mention either of those things?

yes or no

No.

Where did I say that those were the specific sentiments I was agreeing to?

You're getting weirder by the day. Like I said, I'll try not to find merit in any of your arguments going forward, since that's what you seem to want.

how could you "agree" with me when you expressed sentiments i never expressed? you continually claimed you were "agreeing" with me when i repeatedly told you i never said such things, your answer was: i'm agreeing with you

truth is, you didn't agree with a single thing i said, you LIED about what you imagined i was thinking and since you're too cowardly to own up to it after getting embarrassingly called to the floor, you will continue to lie

i really wish yoiu would take a step back once in a while and really look at how stupid you've become. you don't even make honest arguments anymore, all you're here to do is ATTACK others, lie about what they say, you're not here to engage in any honest discussion of the issues

its sad, i used to have respect for you

 

[Onceler]

I can't agree with the OP, and then add my own opinions on the matter?

I didn't realize that was a board rule or something. I'll make sure not to render anything but strict concurrence on future threads (except yours, of course, since you don't like people agreeing with you).

You are so full of shit! What is wrong with you?

He's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't with you!

How's about you tell us...what EXACTLY do you want the fallout from this to be?

Be SPECIFIC so you can't whine later that someone's not taking you seriously...can you do that?

nice try liar....you don't fool a single person...when i said i never said anything about impeachment or egregious....your response was that you were 'agreeing' with me....

my OP only mentioned excuses...you finally had to admit i never said such things, so now you're desperately trying to make us believe you're agreeing only with my mentioning excuses which is a bald face lie

you were specifically trying to claim i was saying those things, hence...why you repeatedly said "i'm agreeing with you"

if you weren't such an asshole, i'd feel sorry for you

Spurt is funny, don't attack the Conservative Icon on this thread for setting the precedent for Obama. LOL

Exactly; I agreed with your clear sentiment that all hacks do is make loads of excuses about this behavior, which is certainly negative (and surely, you see it as a negative, correct? Otherwise, why would you characterize leftie comments as "excuses"?)

Then, I added my own thoughts, which you - once again, with your reading comprehension issues - seem to have construed as my putting words in your mouth, or something like that.

It was an extremely defensive reaction. My only conclusion could be that you really don't like anyone on the left agreeing with you.

wtf are you babbling about? damn if he does and damn if he doesn't? are you actually claiming onceler is agreeing with me?

and be specific on what i am full of shit on....or else recant your lie

i really am not going to answer your post, it is full of shit, rude and has no desire for any honest debate....if you can't understand that people should be accountable under the law, then you should take a step a back and reflect on what you are really doing in life.

and hypocrite...why don't you tell us what YOU want the fallout to be? i laugh at your intellectual dishonesty and outright hypocrisy...its why you always come to oncelers defense and aid when he starts flailing in his debates with me

Obama should resign, then let Biden pardon him... That's what Nixon did.

This is about the most blatant and outright corrupt thing any administration has ever dared to pull off, and you libtards are acting like it's some minor technicality! Bribing candidates to drop out of races, gerrymandering and subverting the electoral process, and continuing to tap dance for three months about it, is not going over well with the general populace. Especially since it was Obama who PROMISED an end to this sort of politics, a new era, transparency and all that stuff... but we get the same sleazy backroom dealing, breaking the rules or creating your own as you go, and outright manipulating of free elections! This takes "Dirty Tricks" to a whole new level!
