GOP Wants Investigation Into Sestak Job Bribe

U.S. President Barack Obama: hey you, want a job?
Apparently senior Democrats so wanted Republican defector, Arlen Specter, to win his Senate race in Pennsylvania so badly, it is being stated, U.S. President Barack Obama, via his Chief-of-Staff, Rahm Emanuel and supposedly, former President, Bill Clinton, offered rival, Joe Sestak, a high ranking job within his administration to drop out of the race. Sestak declined and won the Senate race.
It is a federal crime to offer financial inducement or any promise of personal of gain, in exchange for political activity. According to political strategist, Dick Morris, these are impeachable offenses, the President has committed. What was Obama thinking. Sending an emissary, does not relieve him of culpability.
The GOP is calling for an FBI investigation. However, it should be noted, FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, is a prostitute for any sitting President, the rich and famous, hence the U.S. economy being in the toilet, while he has allowed criminals to get away with crime for years. Wave the right bribe in front of Mueller and he will hide and cover up evidence and suppress cases.

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller: count my fingers, that's how many zeros it will take
Others are calling for a grand jury to convene and demanding a special investigator, regarding Obama's conduct towards Sestak and the illegality of it.
Title 18 of the U.S. Code, Section 600 states, "Whoever directly or indirectly promises any employment, position, compensation, contract, appointment, or other benefit for any political activity or for the support of or opposition to any candidate or any political party in connection with any general or special election to any political office...shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both."
The Hatch Act also states employees of the Executive Branch are forbidden from abusing their, "Official authority of influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election."

U.S. Senate Apologizes For Slavery

...With A Disclaimer Causing Controversy

Following in the lead of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Senate apologized for Slavery yesterday. They did so with a disclaimer that created controversy.
The Senate apologized for, "The fundamental injustice, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow laws." However, added, "Nothing in this resolution authorizes or supports any claim against the United States; or serves as a settlement of any claim against the United States."
It was basically a legal disclaimer issued in an effort to impede any possible lawsuit or financial settlement for reparations that could be brought against the United States government.
It's amazing and pretty disgusting that some people are still practicing slavery in modern times.
Senate apologizes for slavery, but disclaimer draws criticism
WASHINGTON -- The Senate passed a resolution Thursday calling on the U.S. to apologize officially for the enslavement and segregation of millions of African-Americans and to acknowledge "the fundamental injustice, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow laws."
The resolution, sponsored with little fanfare by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, passed on a voice vote. It now moves to the House of Representatives, where it may meet an unlikely foe: members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Several CBC members expressed concerns Thursday about a disclaimer that states that "nothing in this resolution authorizes or supports any claim against the United States; or serves as a settlement of any claim against the United States."
The CBC members think that the disclaimer is an attempt to stave off reparations claims from the descendants of slaves. Congressional Black Caucus Chair Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said her organization is studying the language of Harkin's resolution.
Other CBC members said they've read it and don't like it.
"Putting in a disclaimer takes away from the meaning of an apology," said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss. "A number of us are prepared to vote against it in its present form. There are several members of the Progressive Caucus who feel the same way."
Thompson and other Black Caucus members noted that a 1988 apology that the government issued to the Japanese-Americans held in U.S. camps during World War II had no disclaimer and didn't prevent them from receiving compensation.
"The language is unacceptable," said Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo., "I'm a reparations man - how else do you repair the damage?"
