HACKENSACK, N.J. – President Barack Obama on Wednesday urged New Jersey to keep Democrat Jon Corzine as governor, calling him an honorable man who puts the people's interests first.
"That's the kind of governor that Jon Corzine has been. That's the kind of governor that Jon Corzine will continue to be. That's why New Jersey needs to give Jon Corzine another four years," Obama told a cheering crowd of more than 3,000 in a gymnasium at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Making his second political trip of the week in support of a Democrat on the Nov. 3 ballot, Obama touted Corzine's record. The governor, he said, has provided more property tax relief to homeowners than any New Jersey governor and was the first chief executive in 60 years to make government smaller.
He said Corzine also expanded early childhood education and health insurance for children, all during one of the most difficult periods in the state's history.

“He has polished my knob better than anyone since college! Vote for him since he will be taking orders from my handlers!”
3,000 not very many considering this is the President. The MSM always raises the actual number coming to see a liberal. Probably was really 300.
He’s more concerned with getting his (blanks) in power then taking care of the people’s business and protecting America.
LOL
Good one.
FOBO...FOBO...FOBO...
agreed: very funny, freedumb2003...
anyone have the most recent “polling” results?
Wonder if it will be like the Bubba “kiss of death” tour.
SHouldn't this BS be in the satire section?
I got an email earlier this week asking if I wanted tickets to go to Trenton to see Clinton and Corzine.
Doesn't it concern you that he does little actual work? He's in constant campaign and travel mode.Doesn't know/can't actually do anything else ...
Sad, sad for us all.

The sad fact is tha Corzine will win in a romp. I don’t care what the polls say. This is the same state that continues to elect the senile Senator Frank LOUT-enberg. The polls never reflect the vote on election day. NJ, especially North Jersey, is thoroughly dominated by minorities that are not accounted for in the polls. 70 to 80% of these voter go Democrat.
Don’t get mad. Bookmark this for later and you’ll see I was right.
Don’t get mad.

There’s a first time for everything.. :-}
He likes riding around in AF 1 Marine 1 and the big black limos. Beats actually working and is his new way of voting,'present'.
Considering Obama’s huge success in Copenhagen, if I were Corzine I’d pretend I never heard of Obama.
Like, mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm, that’ll help.
Well, maybe the ACORN false or dead voters will roust up ...
Stupid former CEO of Goldman Sachs ! That company needs to be investigated in the stuff that happened in September 2008 !
The thing is this, even Corzine’s supporters admit that his one failing has been on property tax relief. For Obama to have gone there shows that he was not properly briefed prior to coming to NJ.
You may be correct, but this our best opportunity in years to change that trend so we have to man up, try to GOTV and take our shot.
Lets go NJ Freepers, make sure every likeminded person you know votes on Nov 3rd.
But he’s a GREAT BASKETBALL PLAYER!!!
