Hypocrisy is exposed

Jon Corzine, longtime leader in the Democratic Party and former chief executive officer of failed brokerage firm MF Global and also Goldman Sachs, is “missing” $1.2 billion of his clients' money while still managing to donate to his “collectivist” party.

The former New Jersey senator and governor also served as chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. As President Obama's first economic adviser, he has given $500,000 to the 2012 Obama campaign. Is this “vaporized” $1.2 billion an example of what Obama calls “redistributing the wealth?”

As fellow Democrats aligned with the Occupy Movement amass millions in financial contributions from Wall Street and as Corzine dodges criminal charges for the very behavior they pretend to condemn, absolute hypocrisy is exposed. Where's the mainstream media coverage? Election close, wrong party?

Corzine will undoubtedly walk because Obama will again raid the treasury to pay off disgruntled investors, subsidize his Democratic support groups, increase his entitlement class base and leave honest taxpayers to foot the bill. This equals the corrupt purchasing of votes to stay in power. Obama and Vice President Biden pushing their disastrous “stimulus” bill solidifying recession, increasing unemployment, pushing government spending to a crippling quarter of our GDP, and sheepishly bragging that Corzine was the first person they called to help them put it together. Priceless. Trillions of dollars later, it's still Bush's fault

. The Obama regime always needs a boogeyman and its false assumption that they know what's best for everyone is about to come to an end.
