Re-election above everything

Would you believe that Obama is still using Jon Corzine to raise money for him?  I could understand that happening before the MF Global explosion.  All this did for Obama's campaign financing was a refusal of Corzine's money but not any severing  of ties enabling Corzine to ask his friends for money to help Barack stay in power.

While Corzine has had a storied career it looks as though it is falling apart.  There are just too many questions that Corzine will not answer and responsibilities he will not assume.  In the matter of responsibilities Corzine reminds me of Rupert Murdoch as seen by Jon Stewart.

Most of us have come across people who somehow made the money, got the big job, in a word - succeeded. Yet, these people had only the talent to convince the higher-ups that they were one of them.  The talent to get the job done professionally, honestly, humanely was just not there.  It's beginning to look as though Mr. Corzine is one of those people.  And, when you think about it, maybe our last two presidents are in the same league.
