Obama and Biden made several campaign visits to NJ.

Obama ads for Corzine ran relentlessly on pricey NY media.

Obama directed the WH take over Corzine’s campaign.

OBAMA WAS DESPERATE FOR CORZINE TO WIN. Obama was heavily invested in the NJ gubernatorial race—one of only two statewide races that were a test for Obama’s policies. Virginia also elected a Republican. Obama campaigned in NJ three times, Biden was here twice. Obama TV ads ran relentlessly on costly NY media.

Obama put the power of the WH political machine behind Corzine. The NY Times reported:

(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was being screened by Obama’s WH “geniuses.”
(b) Corzine’s aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obama’s pollsters took over for Corzine’s polling team, and,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions.
(e) Obama sent NJ $17.2 billion “stimulus” which promptly disappeared.

All of it led to Corzine’s humiliating defeat at the hands of a conservative Republican with no war chest to match Corzine’s.

Just goes to show.

Claim: Clinton Collected $50K Per Month From MF Global

Teneo was hired by MF Global’s former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clinton’s political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution.

“They were supposed to be helping Corzine improve his image as a CEO—I guess you can tell how that went,” he said. Corzine resigned as CEO and chairman November 4.

Before Corzine joined MF Global in May 2010, the firm was a smart and well-run commodities broker, a culture that was turned upside-down by his leadership style, he said.

“The traders would be shaking their heads,” he said. “They would come back to their desk and say, ‘Well, I thought we were going to do this—but Corzine would come by and do something else all by himself,’” he said.

The Teneo contract with MF Global lasted at least five months, he said. “The board cancelled it after Corzine resigned.”

The source, who is no longer associated with MF Global, said Teneo is a dual-track company with one side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy consulting services.

Clinton is the chairman of the company’s advisory board. His duties and compensation have not been released. The other member of the board is former British prime minister Tony Blair?.

Two of the three founding partners are very close to the former president and his wife, Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton. They are Douglas J. Band, who is the former president’s counselor and has served
