6/2/10: Obama. Congress. Bribery. (Again)

Less than a week after the Sestak situation (which OFB reported back in February) hit the fan, we get another story that ties our corrupt president to, well, corruption:

Administration officials dangled the possibility of a job for former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff last year in hopes he would forego a challenge to Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, his rival in an Aug. 10 primary, administration officials said Wednesday.

These officials declined to specify the job that was floated or the name of the administration official who approached Romanoff, and said no formal offer was ever made. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not cleared to discuss private conversations…

Unlike Sestak, Romanoff has ducked questions on the subject, and it was not clear how long his discussions with administration officials lasted.

HotAir points out that this story was first reported - and vehemently denied by the Obama administration - back in September 2009. We have quite a pattern developing here. Makes you wonder what else Blago and Sestak were offered during their respective dealings with the Obama regime.

FLASHBACK: And don't forget how President Obama "allegedly" bought the vote of House Democrat Jim Matheson of Utah by nominating his brother to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
