Romanoff confirms jobs were discussed with him as well
U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff said publicly for the first time Wednesday that a White House deputy discussed three specific jobs that "might be available" if Romanoff dropped a primary challenge to a fellow Democrat, Sen. Michael Bennet.
Romanoff, responding to increased pressure from national media and Republicans attacking the Obama White House, released an e-mail sent to him Sept. 11, 2009, by administration deputy chief of staff Jim Messina describing two possible jobs with the U.S. Agency for International Development, affiliated with the State Department, and one with the U.S. Trade Development Agency.
In a phone call last September, just before Romanoff publicly announced a challenge for Bennet’s seat, Messina "suggested three positions that might be available to me were I not pursuing the Senate race. He added that he could not guarantee my appointment to any of these positions. At no time was I promised a job, nor did I request Mr. Messina’s assistance in obtaining one," Romanoff’s statement said.
After getting the e-mail with the job descriptions, Romanoff said, "I left him a voice mail informing him that I would not change course. I have not spoken with Mr. Messina, nor have I discussed this matter with anyone else in the White House, since then."

This has gone on for a long time due to limited news resources to the general public. Now with the Internet added to cable TV, and the wide variety of handheld technology, we the people are more informed and frankly, I am quite shocked to find out that criminal activity has been going on in the WH for a long time. It needs to be stopped, NOW!
impeach Obama.. Enough of his lies and deception
This man and his cohorts deserve more than impeachment. They deserve to be arrested and charged with fraud and treason for their attempt to overthrow our Constitution and our government based on it.
He is not likely to resign because he and his backers know they only have this first 4 years to destroy this Nation. Unfortunately they are likely to succeed unless our elected officials in Washington, DC start upholding our Constitution as they have sworn to do.
I predict that he won't resign; that he will work faster to discredit, take over, and ruin the America we love. Sadly, the congressmen blindly obey Obama and his minions. Prayl
Obama should be made to swim the gulf and when he flounders soaked in oil , clean him up like any lame duck and put him in a cage til he is well enough to fly south to Kenya.
I couldn't have said it better myself!!!!
So, how's that "hope and change" thing working out? This is what happens when you elect an inexperienced, traitorous foreigner to a high level office. When we witnessed lowlifes such as Pelosi and Reid conspire against the American people before Obama's disastrous election, we should have expected this kind of behavior.
As God is my witness, does anyone remember that in 1963 abd 1964 a woman by the name of madeline murray O'hare succedded in getting prayer and bible study in school thrown out (that's aparthieod) and in 1970 (Stone v graham) got the ten commandments taken off the walls and in 1970 also the Roe v wade thing came out and made it legal to kill an unborn child! There were many other cases but remember Judge Roy Moore got canned because he refused to take the 10 commandments off the court house steps et Remember. Does anyone see a pattern here? This country was one founded UPON God and Godly principles that that is who we are! So, if we Americans don't stnad for these same principles we are going to fall and we will fall sooooo hard it will be a fall heard clear around the world! People wake up, either we are for God or against him, either we want His providence and guidance or we want the trouble that comes w/it. There shall be more trouble than we can stomach if we do NOT follow the "OLD PATHS Jeremiah 6:16 KJV Read it and weep!!!
A mutt is a mixed breed and we have a mutt in the Whitehouse pretending to be President when most of America does not know where the mutt was born. It is time to put the mutt out.
THE REAL PROBLEM IS OBADMA IS A MUSLIM AND THE MUSLIMS WANT TO KILL US ALL. THE IDIOTS REID AND PELOSI AND THEIR BUSOM BUDDIES ALL THINK THEY WILL OWN AND RUN THE COUNTRY. THEY ARE TOO STUPID TO KNOW THE MUSLIMS WILL KILL THEN ALSO
You are most likely correct. Obama was educated in Medrassa schools in Indonesia. The Bible says "raise a child up the way he should go and when he is old he won't depart from it".
Well, everyone out there….You be the judge!!
You are all really dumb fucks.
Get a life.
Fuc_K you!!!!
Mr. Bernard,
Only uneducated people use swear words. Please clean-up your language. It would really help if you could manage to be more articulate. Why "turn-off" everyone who reads your words? You loose your power that way!! Wise up.
The only dumb F&*KS are the Hussein supporters!!!!
we also hope that are members of the supreme court shun the entry of socialist KAGAN!
