In an interview that just aired with Fox News anchor Jane Skinner, Colorado Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff admitted to Skinner that the e-mail address redacted on the e-mail sent to him by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina was in fact sent from a White House account. Not the Democratic National Committee or a personal account.
The address is important as those probing the incident of “jobs for favors” surrounding the candidacy of Romanoff and Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak will seek to determine if laws were violated — laws that include the illegal use of the federal government in offering the jobs.
That use would include government e-mail accounts. Like the one Messina used to contact Romanoff.
Stay tuned.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

And so? Look, the Obama Administration cannot be bothered by these so-called laws! There are crisis that must be attended to: An invasion by Mexico into our Southern border; a giant oil leak in the gulf; terrorists and Iran; NOKO is threatening war; continued financial meltdowns and stubborn unemployment and on and on! The have all this crap to deal with PLUS the parties for Paul McCartney and friends. And really, isn't that the important story here - how Sir Paul feels? So we need to stop bugging the Administration! How is Obama supposed to concentrate on the awards gala for these stars if we keep bugging him about all this crap! Besides, all these problems are Bush's fault - he left them on purpose for Obama to solve! So really, if you think about it, Bush should be blamed and impeached! If it wasn't for Bush, Raum wouldn't have to have resorted to bribery. I'm sure all the media agree with me, so lets stop belly aching about this "law breaking" . Jeeze! Besides, Sir Paul was thrilled to be presented his award by such a gallant, smart, hip, cool president. That's the important thing!

Congratulations Cartman
Unfortunately you nailed it dead on.
When I saw Obama was staffing his administration with a narrow sub-sect of the Northeastern Liberal Elite, I knew he was going to govern according to the wishes and delusions of the Northeastern Liberal Elites, not what is good for the country at large..
After creating a new Great Depression, Nationalizing whole sections of the National economy and crashing it, ignoring a regional disaster in the Gulf Oil Slick, why is it surprising he treated himself to a private Beatles concert.
Can his distaste for the “little people” be any greater.
The answer is yes and Obama has just started.
Eric Cartman| 6.7.10 @ 12:19AM
Unfortunately, your unfortunately is unfortunately also right. Obama is off for another soiree with more Hollywood swells. Its good to see him get out and forget the pressures of office. Socializing and bankrupting America is hard work. You can see its wearing on him - poor baby.

Re McCartney's crack about Bush and libraries, how many did the former mop-topper visit in his teen days? I venture to guess he spent a lot more time in pubs than public libraries. A silly title does not entitle a foreigner to come to our shores and badmouth a President that spent considerably more time in studies in the Ivy League than the Liverpudlian.

To improve governance, let's start by banning from public office anyone who attended Harvard.
Jeff Perren | 6.5.10 @ 10:30AM
This whole Sestak-Romanoff thing seems like very small potatoes, like nailing Al Capone for income tax evasion.
Oh well, if the result is that Obama goes to jail like Capone did, I certainly wouldn't be sorry. :)
Be careful of the backlash, though. If this just looks like a witch hunt on the part of Republicans to get anything they can on Obama, it could backfire.

Sure, very small potatoes. Rigging elections at taxpayers expense. It's a parking ticket.
Jeff Perren | 6.6.10 @ 12:52AM
Mr. Bobby,
As I'm sure you know, that's an exaggeration. Offering a job in exchange for dropping out of the race doesn't rig the election, though it does influence it.
I agree it's wrong, but sadly - given what is going on and what has gone on (TARP, auto nationalization, Stimulus, Health Care, and the continuing enslavement of the American people by the present Federal government), yes it is small potatoes.
How about we nail the SOB for violating the Constitution six ways from Sunday, or for trying to become a Fascist dictator in four years, etc. In the face of the big problems, I just can't get too worked up about what is more or less politics as usual.
