Jon Corzine Raised $500,000 plus for Obama

(1/5) > >>

Sasquatch:
You gotta love it!  /ROFLMAO/ /Fulmerini/

Question 1: when does Corzine officially start working for the Obama administration?

Question 2: will OWS even notice or care?

At one point, Corzine was once considered a possible candidate for secretary of the Treasury Department. "President Obama once hailed [Corzine] as an 'honorable man' and one of his 'best partners' in the White House," ABC reported.

I wonder why that half-million didn't "evaporate" like the rest of the money Corzine put his paws on.

I imagine the OWS people think of Corzine about the same way they LOVE Geithner, and Rahm, and Daley, and Summers....   /Lane/

Really, if you're asking whether the OWS folks will notice, it seems like you might should get out of the right wing bubble.  

Corzine is a crook.  Hope he rots in some jail.  We libruls all know it and recognize it.  I'll be glad to point to librul sites that discuss him specifically and the rotten financial system more generally.  

It's simple.  Corzine is part of the 1%.  Really, the top .01%, but rhetorically speaking, the top 1%, plus a member of Wall Street.  The message of the OWS people is the country is run by and for the benefit of the 1%, specifically those tied to Wall Street, and THAT is a problem, hence the nationwide protests.  They don't say the problem is the country is run by and for the REPUBLICAN 1%, but just... the 1%.  And the purpose of OWS is to put pressure on republicans AND democrats such as the President to prosecute those crooks and put them in jail, where they belong.  

And you guys on the right call the OWS folks dirty f'ing hippies and commies who spend all day throwing feces around, and lump them in with mass murderers.  In other words, those who are shining the brightest light on the corruption are repeatedly marginalized and mocked by the right wing.  Those of us on the left cheer that they AT LEAST have the right villains in their sites.

The 1.2 billion was stolen from his customers.  The $500,000 represented profits they'd already legally skimmed off the top of customers in fees and such, in other words, "their" (Corzine and friends') money. 

And obviously, the way to sock it to these Wall Street crooks is to take their tax rate on gambling with other people's money to zero... and provide gigantic incentives for more gambling with other people's money.  Vote Republican!! 

Another observation - clearly in this case self regulation worked well, as always.  Thank goodness regulations meant to put up a bigger firewall between depositors and gambling were delayed...

I look forward to any links or protest pictures that show OWS even recognizes the money given by Corzine to Obama and/or their condemnation for it.

How does it feel? We have been told repeatedly by you and FL that words have consequences. FYI, I think the dude that killed his parents would have done so whether he was in Occupy Oakland or not.
