House Investigates Obama Bribes
By JAKE SHERMAN, Politico
Obama and Co. know all about bribes
The top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee says the Obama administration may have broken the law by offering Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) a job in order to persuade him not to mount a primary challenge against Sen. Arlen Specter.
Sestak has said that the administration offered him a high-ranking government job if he’d stay out of the race. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs has been asked repeatedly about the accusation in recent weeks but so far has neither confirmed nor denied that a job was offered.
But in a letter to White House general counsel Robert Bauer Wednesday, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said that, if Sestak’s allegation is true, administration officials may have violated a federal statute which makes it a crime for a government employee to use his authority “for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate” for certain offices, including Senate seats.
"While the White House may think this is politics as usual, what is spectacularly unusual is when a candidate — a U.S. congressman no less — freely acknowledges such a proposal,” Issa wrote. “Almost always candidates keep quiet about such deals, and for good reason — they are against the law."

Obama is going down, one way or another! He will fall do to his own corruption. Even Obama is not above the law! He thinks he is so smart, there are many much smarter and wiser than he is. Go get him Mr Issa!!

Obama thinks the American people are 'ignorant'. He needs to be exposed for what He is..We will be so glad if He was exposed and impeached…
We would all be better off..He and the Dem. libs are slowly sinking America in debt…Why did Obama lock down His Past?? Something sounds fishy …
Hopefully He will be impeached…

"Administration Officials may have violated a federal statute which makes it a crime for a government employee to use his authority FOR THE PURPOSE OF INTERFERING WITH, OR AFFECTING, THE NOMINATION OR THE ELECTION OF ANY CANDIDATE for certain offices, including Senate seats."
What do they think the "Louisiana Purchase" and the "Cornhusker Kickback" was?

I'm with Bert! Bring it on! Obama is illegally occupying the white house. He's a trojan horse, elected to repair our capitalist economy but instead marches steadily towards communism. His path is disturbingly clear and I fear that if he gets his way, in a few years, when it's too late, we'll regret not having expelled him, violently, if necessary.

We must keep the pressure on these people who would walk away and stick their heads in the ground and allow obama, pelosi, reid, dodd, and the other progressives to achive their goals.
Obama is a lier, as is most of the people he surrounds himself with, we must help the few Americans who are still FOOLED by this man. They must see the TRUTH about obama and his AGENDA. Thank God for people like Beck, and Floyd to help keep the TRUTH FLOWING.
