Ann Barnhardt, former hedge fund manger gets right to the point:
A firm, led by a crony of the Obama regime, stole all of the non-margined cash held by customers of his firm. Let’s not sugar-coat this or make this crime seem “complex” and “abstract” by drowning ourselves in six-dollar words and uber-technical jargon. Jon Corzine STOLE the customer cash at MF Global.
Read the whole thing. It is refreshingly, and brutally honest.
Muir nails it.

It’s a safe bet that their houses won’t have leftist “OWS” protesters
Meet the “1%”, uber-rich Obama bundlers.
The Obama re-election campaign quietly released the list of their elite deep-pocketed donors who bundled at least $20 million each.
Ms. Malkin has the the full list.
A reminder to the OWS folks
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
You can’t spell “Goldman-Sachs” without the O.
Yup, look up who Wall Street poured money to in the 2008 elections. The bailouts you are protesting against were political payback by a corrupt product of the Chicago democrat political machine.
OWS Astroturf Roots

You remember those so-called “grass roots” activists making a political statement by hanging out at Wall Street, disrupting businesses and generally carrying on cranky.
Well, it seems that they have deep roots in our friend ACORN, that’s right, the organization that helps out pimps, has been convicted of of massive vote fraud in multiple states, and deep and long term connections to our Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Obama.
Let us go to the video for the proof.
Obama’s Kagen Coverup
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Investor’s Business Daily reports:
“Eric Holder’s Justice Department has rebuffed numerous Freedom of Information Act requests to get to the bottom of Kagan’s role as solicitor general in the successful Obama political strategy to get health reform enacted. But internal communications that are already public themselves make for a smoking gun.
How about this Jan. 8, 2010, email featuring the subject line “Re: Health Care Defense” from former Deputy Solicitor General/now-acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal to Associate Attorney General Brian Hauck: “Brian, Elena would definitely like OSG (Office of Solicitor General) to be involved in this set of issues … we will bring in Elena as needed.”
In another email that same day, Hauck asked Katyal about putting together a group “to defend against inevitable challenges” to ObamaCare. Ketel replies, “Absolutely right on. Let’s crush them. I’ll speak with Elena and designate someone.”
It look like the kindest thing you could say about Elena Kagan’s Supreme Court nomination testimony, and the statements of Obama administration officials were “deceitful” when they repeatedly stated that she was not involved in getting Obama-Care passed.
Justice Kagan needs to announce immediately that she will recuse herself from any and all Supreme Court cases involving Obamacare.
If she does not, the House Judiciary Committee, and bipartisan group such as Judicial Watch, should step up their investigation in to her involvement in passing Obamacare.
The question remains, why is the Obama White House actively involved in a cover up of Elena Kagan’s involvement in the President’s signature legislation? What did Obama know and when did he know it?
FBI arrests prominent Democratic campaign Treasurer
Kinde Durkee of Burbank-based Durkee and Associates, was arrested by the FBI on a criminal complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Sacramento. Special Agent Steve Dupre of the bureau’s Sacramento office said she was arrested in connection with her position as a campaign treasurer.
What did Obama know and when did he know it?

By way of Ms. Malkin, comes this LA Times story that shows the Obama White House knew about the corrupt ATF “Fast & Furious” program very, very early on.
Newly obtained emails show that the White House was better informed about a failed gun-tracking operation on the border with Mexico than was previously known.
Three White House national security officials were given some details about the operation, dubbed Fast and Furious. The operation allowed firearms to be illegally purchased, with the goal of tracking them to Mexican drug cartels. But the effort went out of control after agents lost track of many of the weapons.
The supervisor of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operation in Phoenix specifically mentioned Fast and Furious in at least one email to a White House national security official, and two other White House colleagues were briefed on reports from the supervisor, according to White House emails and a senior administration official.
Our Dear Leader‘s administration has responded to the “Fast & Furious” scandal by continuing their war on transparency. ATF Head Kenneth Melson is being shuffled out of office. It is as if the Obama administration doesn’t want him to answer any questions about the “Fast & Furious” scandal.
Even the Obama cheerleaders at CBS News are starting to use the word “coverup.”
Congressional investigators tell CBS News there’s evidence the U.S. Attorney’s office in Arizona sought to cover up a link between their controversial gunwalking operation known as “Fast and Furious” and the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Terry was murdered in Arizona near the US border last December. Two assault rifles ATF had allegedly allowed onto the street without interdiction were found at the scene.
But the US Attorney’s office working both the Terry murder and the “Fast and Furious” operation did not immediately disclose the two had any link. Two Republicans investigating the scandal, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) say there’s evidence that officials at ATF and the US Attorney’s office sought to hide the connection.
HT to Ace for the CBS News “coverup” story.
Obama is channeling Nixon again
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics, RKBA
“This Obama Justice Department reminds me of nothing so much as the Nixon Justice Department. You have the scent of high-level knowledge of serious wrongdoing and you have the smell of cover-up and I think the stench of cover-up on this gun-running operation is very strong indeed.”
What did President Obama know and when did he know it?
Obama administration cuts back on fraud prosecutions
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Remember how “Obamacare” was supposed to “pay for itself” by cutting $50 Billion in fraud and waste? You haven’t heard much about that lately either. Probably because our Dear Leader and the congressional democrats never planned on implementing it.
The truth is that they have done exactly the opposite. USA Today reports that there has actually been a 20% reduction in the number of criminal prosecutions for defrauding federal benefit programs since our Dear Leader took office. It is almost as if the democrats want to promote fraud and waste in government benefit spending.
Once again we find that what our Dear Leader promised has nothing to do with what he actually planned on doing. Remember this come November 2012.
