Re: Democrat sex offender Robert Decheine (Former Obama aide).

A New Jersey congressman has fired his chief of staff -- a former 
Obama aide -- after the aide was arrested in Maryland on a charge of 
soliciting sex from a minor.

Democratic Rep. Steve Rothman took the action after learning that 
top aide Robert Decheine was among 11 people snared in a 
Gaithersburg, Md., police sting. Police placed ads on a website and 
an undercover officer communicated with customers through phone and 
text messages.

Police said the 48-year-old was arrested on Nov. 17 after soliciting 
to have sex with an underage girl. Decheine was released on $15,000 
bail.  Eleven arrests were made during the operation, which came in 
phases. First, ads were placed online and an undercover officer 
began communicating with each "John," according to the Website TMP.

Decheine told the newspaper in an e-mail message he had no comment.  
Decheine was a senior advisor to the Obama campaign in 2008, 
according to PolitickerNJ. He previously served as chief of staff to 
Rep. Bill Luther (D-MN).
