“Jon Corzine – What’s Going On?”
The Daily Reckoning ^ | 05/16/12 | Sydney Williams

Posted on 05/17/2012 5:46:56 AM PDT by Eccl 10:2

It pays to be rich, powerful and a Democrat with friends in Washington. While Anna Gristina, a Connecticut mother accused of being a New York “madam” sits in a cell on Riker’s Island, Jon Corzine, the former CEO of MF Global sits at home in his New Jersey mansion. MF Global had been a publically traded securities firm with $40 billion in assets, but with liabilities even larger, filed for bankruptcy late last year, after being accused of co-mingling customer funds with its own, a flagrant violation of securities law.

The “excuse” is that MF Global subsidiary in England is where the leak in fund took place & it is legal to do that in England.

If you believe that, I have a bridge I want to sell you. hee hee hee

Corzine: a dirty rotten filthy human being characterizing all that is wrong in American politics today.

America is just a huge banana republic today, living off old momentum, but coasting to a stop from its past glories.

Hold it dude.... How'd the money get from the USA to the UK? Let's focus on the crime. Middle America is missing funds.

The problem is an over-abundance of folks willing to parse words about where an act is "legal" versus "illegal".

No morality on Wall Street...that's for sure!

When Obozo was corronated, I made this statement here on FR:

“Welcome to New Kenya (Africa USA), where the law of the jungle has replaced the Law of the Land”

They truly think they are above the law, any law.

We shall see if they really are.

Corzine should occupy the prison cell across from Edwards.

Now that’s a stupid comment. It in no way “sounds a lot like Bain.”

I wonder how much money Corzine gave to Obama’s prez campaign in 2008. If he did give millions then this wouldn’t surprise me. Repubs would probably do the same thing, protect their big donors. Politics as usual.

Does to me. “Legal” only due to friends in high places—i.e. crony capitalism, but totally corrupt morally.

No doubt they would if they could. But the instant they tried, the media would be on them like flies on a ...

“Jon Corzine – What’s Going On?”

What’s Going On
Marvin Gaye

Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today - Ya

Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what’s going on
What’s going on
Ya, what’s going on
Ah, what’s going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we’re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What’s going on
Ya, what’s going on
Tell me what’s going on
I’ll tell you what’s going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

Corzine was a huge bundler for Obama - One of his biggest, no doubt.

Is our side smart enough to use this pic in a general election ad?
