Here’s yet more proof that most democrats, starting right at the top with The Zero™, are criminals and have no problem breaking federal laws, and as usual the state-controlled media buries their collective heads in the sand and ignores it.

What did the president know, and when did he know it?
Posted by Mark Impomeni
Tuesday, February 23rd at 9:00AM ESTWe take a break from the hyperventilating over the latest moves in the slow-motion kabuki dance that is the Obama Administration’s efforts to ram its federal takeover of the health care system down the throats of the overwhelming majority of Americans who oppose the various bills to take a look at what should be a much, much bigger story.
Last week, Democratic Senate Candidate Joe Sestak, a retired Admiral, let slip in an interview that someone in the White House offered him a position in the Administration if he would drop his primary challenge of Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania. Sestak wouldn’t elaborate on which job he was offered – speculation centers on Secretary of the Navy – but it hardly matters. As Jeffrey Lord points out, federal law prohibits anyone from offering, soliciting, or receiving any federal office in exchange for a political favor.
“Whoever solicits or receives … any….thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in obtaining for any person any appointive office or place under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.” – 18 USC Sec. 211
It seems highly unlikely that this was a misunderstanding or exaggeration on Sestak’s part. It’s the second time in this election season that another Democrat has accused the White House of trying to buy them out of a Senate challenge with an offer of employment.
Last year, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s deputy, Jim Messina, reportedly suggested that Colorado Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff might find himself a position in the Department of the Interior if he dropped his prospective primary challenge of Sen. Michael Bennett. Romanoff, like Sestak, refused to be bought off.
The Sestak and Bennett incidents are potentially far worse than that. Republicans need to start asking very pointed, very public questions, right now. They should call for a Special Counsel to lead a Department of Justice investigation along the lines of Patrick Fitzgerald’s look at the Valerie Plame affair. Even if no wrongdoing is uncovered, the atmospherics of this scandal in waiting are bad for the Obama White House. The president would have to explain why relativley low-level staffers in his Administration feel empowered to offer high-ranking positions as plums for doing the Administration’s bidding without consulting their superiors.

Heard something about this, but like Rangel still being in charge of Ways and Means, this too will be ignored.Fcking criminals.
No chance with a Dem Majority in Congress

i was speaking to the spanish men in the bar last week and they all have the opinion that obama is useless and the only reason you elected him was because of his skin color.
@ Rodan:
Barack Hussein Mugabe. That is what Obama wants to be. What he’ll get is (hopefully) something different.
that should be wanker

My Spaniard brethren are not wrong in their observation.
Hey I read El Partido Popular is ahead in the polls for the next election. Zapatero that Muzzie loving Commie needs to go.
@ Iron Fist:
This is his idol!
Zapateros reputation is lower than dog shit here. he is toast at the next election.
what you drink tonight mi amigo.
@ justin case:
It’s afternoon here so I’m sipping OJ. My grandfather (Gallego) is in the hospital. I’m going in a few hours.
I drank Spanish Wine last night.
Damn, folks, somebody get on this. It is a gatling gun at no reserve auction. Current bid in less than $1000. It’ll go for that, but probably considerably less than the $35000 the guy wants. I wish I had some extra change laying around. I’d bid on it. I bet it goes for under $10K. That’s a trememdous bargin for someone.

Thanks, he had his Gallbladder removed and has been diagnosed with Almheizer. They are testing to see if he has dementia, if he does he can’t come home. he’s 88 fought the Nazis in WW2 and the Chicoms in Korea.
@ Rodan:
Sorry to hear that,damn, that sucks, our guys who gave their all deserve better. Best wishes.
Aloha from Tsunami Zone…………I live right on the edge of the evacuation zone so it is sketchy here………waiting for more news….people are hitting the gas stations and stores….surreal vibe…ok, got to get some preparation things done here…Aloha

@ Rodan:
sorry to hear that rodan, i have had a lot of dealings with Almheizers in my life and in my opinion it’s the worst thing you can ever be cursed with, i would rather have the worst form of cancer than that shit, it’s a living death where the person is no longer there just a shell of the person you once loved.
sorry to be so blunt but i really hate that condition.
keep your chin up.
can’t text message by cel…circuits are jammed….roads closing…it’s getting REAL………
@ IslandLibertarian:
Good Luck, stay safe.
@ bar:
they are evacuating tsunami zones here
local news link
According to Netanyahu, Ahmadinejad understood the American positions in the same way, believing that US President Barak Obama is an inexperienced leader whose dealings with Iran stem from weakness and fear
Is there any other way to see it????
@ IslandLibertarian:
Thanks for the link.
I only was looking at the time the waves are expected. 11am
What a stupid comment otherwise.
“Be on the lookout for a big wave to wash you away”.

Do ya got a video cam?
@ IslandLibertarian:
Some brave souls. Will they be recording their surf attempts?
@ IslandLibertarian:
I guess they saw too many re-runs of that scene from Deep Impact?
@ Rodan:
Looking forward.
@ Nevergiveup:
no video cam and even if I had one, I’d not be taking videos of the wave…the coast is an evacuation area, they are shutting things down here….
@ IslandLibertarian:
They are not going to live very long.
I cant imagine the looks on their faces when they get sucked under and then slammed into a hotel face first.
@ Nevergiveup:
well if he goes to the local mall he might be able to loot himself a nice 40inch tv and video camera after the wave strikes.
i am pretty sure some members of society are getting ready for a bit of looting, nudge nudge wink wink.

Charlie Crist keeps digging his hole deeper!
Crist says he would not scrap Dem health care reform, can’t identify part worth keeping
“There may be parts of it that you don’t have to scrap. There are three parts of it that I would like to see scrapped: It would raise taxes significantly, it would raise rates significantly and it would take half-a-trillion dollars out of Medicare.
“I think the real issue here, as it relates to health care, is that people want it to not cost so much and people want to have access to it. I think there is a consensus of agreement that the health care that is delivered in America is good. But it’s not easy to get it and it’s too expensive when you do get it.”

the only thing that would float my boat is the news about gordon brown dying in agony.

It’s worth reading the whole thing but here’s the executive summary: Man that shit ain’t right!
@ Rodan:
Some
bravestupid souls.OK, roads are jamming up, gas stations jammed, we’re told to stay off the roads…just heard 6 foot waves hit some islands east of here…6 feet not too big…I think it will be a non event…but we’ll stay prepared…sirens going off all over…and our cat is acting very cautious, hiding in the closet.

@ justin case:
Don’t get me started on Broon. The worst part about him is that he believes with all sincerity that he’s doing the right thing. At least Blair was honest enough to know that he was a lying sack of shite most of the time. Brown thinks God is on his side. Or whatever passes for God in his cracked mind.
The man is a psychopath. There’s no other way to describe him.

The cat/closet is cracking me up.
If my math is correct appx 2 1/2 hours before the first waves are expected – is this correct? Hope you fair well. Will continue the prayers
at least they wont blame bush for letting off nuclear weapons under the sea.
hope there is lots of live video footage from the big island. Would the first waves come into Hilo bay?
