President gives Sen. John Kerry another black eye
Boston Herald ^ | January 24, 2012 | Frank Quaratiello

Obama called on lawmakers to pass a bill that would halt "insider trading" by members of Congress.

Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown introduced legislation last year to ban members of Congress and their staff from trading stock based on non-public information. Brown championed the cause after watching author Peter Schweizer discuss his book on the subject called "Throw Them All Out" on "60 Minutes."

Schweizer’s analysis focused on members of Congress whose stock market profits correlated with legislative matters under their consideration. One of the politicians cited in the book for apparent "insider trading" was Bay State Sen. John Kerry

"Obama called on lawmakers to pass a bill that would halt "insider trading" by members of Congress. "

He might have just as well called on lawmakers to give us all wings or turn rain drops into gold nuggets.

Obama didn’t mean it. All his partners in crime know the entire speech is just a performance unconnected to reality. It’s his idiot voters who don’t get this.

Kery has been at it a long, long time, using the influence of his office to make lots of deals.

Kerry Led Outsourcing Trade Mission to China.

http://www.gogov.com/kerryoutsourcing1.htm

John Kerry, who has made opposition to corporate outsourcing of U.S. jobs to places like China a major part of his presidential campaign, appears to have had major involvement with a Boston, Massachusetts company specializing in outsourcing of U.S. manufacturing and jobs.

During the late 1990's, Kerry led at least one of the company's outsourcing trade missions to China, appearing for photos at a banquet in Beijing with representatives of Boston Capital & Technology and unidentified Chinese trade representatives. The exact date of the trip is not given on the company website but appears to have taken place between 1996 and 1998.
