Better put on your Kevlar shorts, Barry

Early in his first term, Barack Obama famously told a group of bankers that he was the only one standing between them and mobs with pitchforks. Will he now stand idly by while his pal Jon Corzine gets perforated?
Montana farmers have filed a class action suit against former New Jersey governor Jon Corzine, charging that the failed financial firm run by Corzine stole millions from their accounts to pay off its spiraling debts, and that Corzine’s “single-minded obsession” with making MF Global a big player on Wall Street led to the firm’s collapse.
Is Corzine a crony too far? Stay tuned!

  1. Obama has been dressed in teflon shorts by the MSM.

    Nothing sticks to him.

  2. I'm amazed that Corzine is still wandering around loose. A lawsuit is a good first step, but what about criminal proceedings against ALL of MF Global's "money men"? Does the SEC have a pulse? Or is it a mere peccadillo these days to rip off your customers to the tune of a billion bucks?

  3. I say who needs pitchforks when there are plenty of lamp posts?

  4. Deborah Leigh said... Obama was heard singing one of his favorite songs, "the wheels on the bus go round and round...".

    Corzine should be tarred, feathered and sent to prison on a rail.

  5. In Australia we've been pretty successful preventing politicians 'insider trading', benefiting unfairly from their power. Every pol has to list all their investments and connections and are sacked for any failure to disclose. The media enjoys picking through the lists and shaming the corrupt, even if they're lefties.

    Maybe you need something like that in the US.
