Former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, former technology executive Bernard Schwartz and banking executive James Staley were among 30 well-connected figures in the business and finance world who met with President Barack Obama at the White House in March for an unusual economic discussion organized by the Democratic National Committee.

The White House released the names on Friday under a policy Obama instituted in 2009 to disclose nearly all White House guests approximately three months after they visit.

The March 7 meeting in the Blue Room of the residence has drawn attention and criticism because most of the attendees were donors or fundraisers and the session was arranged by the DNC. Good-government advocates said hosting the event at the White House was ill-advised.

I think this is the story on Drudge with the picture of Obama. Last night it was a pretty big picture. I was just looking at his thumbnail in that picture and I found it to be kinda creepy.

Bernie Schwarz was or still is the owner of a company called LORAL SPACE along with being the single largest contributor to Bill Clinton.

LORAL SPACE was found guilty of transferring secret missile technology the the CHICOMS during Clintons reign and fined $14,000,000. The technology allowed the CHICOMS to both give their ICBM’s pinpoint accuracy as well as substantially increase the missile throw weight or payload.

It is believed the illegal transfer of the technology put the CHICOM program about 15-25 years ahead of where it was before.

Google LORAL SPACE FINED

Yep, Bernie is corrupt from way back.

Also note James Staley. He’s the CEO of JP Morgan Chase’s investment bank and presumed to be the successor to Jamie Dimon.

Senator James Inhofe
Senate Floor Speech

Mr. President, I want you to listen again. I am going to pick up on the incredible but true story of the Clinton Administration’s betrayal of national security and the scandalous coverup that continues as we speak.on how the Clinton Administration has undermined national security to simultaneously pursue its misguided foreign policies and self-serving domestic political agendas. On the one hand, there is the mind-boggling story of how the Clinton Administration deliberately changed almost 50 years of bipartisan security policies—relaxing export restrictions, signing waivers to allow technology transfers, ignoring China’s violation of arms control agreements and its theft of our nuclear secrets, opening up even more nuclear and high technology floodgates to China and others–thus harming U.S. national security.

On the other hand, there is the continuing coverup–the effort to hide from Congress and the American people the true damage that has been done to national security and the Clinton administration’s central role in allowing so much of it to happen on their watch.

You have to wonder what Clinton really received in exchange.

to disclose nearly all White House guests...

Nearly, huh?

So who've they been leaving off the guest lists? Inquiring minds want to know...

So what we need is a list of all the folks left off the guest lists.

That should make interesting reading.

THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD In March 2012, former NJ Gov. Jon Corzine (ex-Goldman Sachs head) was at the White House for an unusual economic discussion organized by the DNC w/ 30 business/finance figures meeting w/ Obama.

(Snix) Looks like Obama was gathering his co-conspirators together to pony up the millions stashed away that he needs for his desperate reelection campaign.

=====================================

BACKSTORY As the incumbent Dem gov, Corzine's 2009 reelection was of paramount importance to Obama---as a test of his policies. Obama pulled out all the stops including sending $17.5 BILLION stimulus to NJ which promptly disappeared. (Keep in mind, Wall Street knows how to make money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watcher weigh-in.)

OBAMA WAS DESPERATE FOR NJ GOV CORZINE TO WIN. Obama and Obama were heavly invested in the race---one of only two statewide races. This was the first test for Obama's policies. Obama campaigned in NJ three times, Biden was there twice. Obama TV ads for Corzine ran relentlessly on costly NY media.

Obama put the power of the WH political machine behind Corzine. The NY Times reported:
(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was screened by Obama's WH "geniuses."
(b) Corzine's aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obama’s pollsters took over for Corzine’s polling team, and,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions.

Democrats rigged the election with latino votes (so they thought)
(e) White House operatives were orchestrating obscure pep rallies with Latinos (kept secret from voters),
(f) Corzine had a "Peruvian Pac" endorsing him.
(g) Corzine promised to give illegals ‘driving credentials’ & in-state tuition.
(h) Corzine sucked up to illegal immigrants and REFUSED to enforce current immigration laws
(j) Corzine's Blue Ribbon committee of Hyphenates used tax dollars to mine votes for Corzine.
(j) Also sucking up to illegals for Corzine was Sen Robert Menendez
(k) NJ is Voter Fraud Central for latinos slobbering at the public trough, voting with several fake id's.

OTHER SALIENT POINTS
>> Incumbent Corzine (the wealthy loser) outspent the winner Chris Chirstie about 4-1.
>> New Jersey has a huge Democratic registration.
>> Corzine bragged he had 20,000 paid union helpers to get out the vote.
>> There was a third party candidate siphoning off Republican votes.
>> Corzine had the power of incumbency.
>> Corzine had the power of a crooked Democrat Machine cooking the vote.

SURPRISE: Corzine lost, anyway. ROTFL

====================================

Obama had BIG PLANS for the latino vote in Corzine's race. That flopped bigtime. Obama’s ill-fated campaign to organize latinos for Dems was a BIG loser.

And remember Midterms, when Obama told latinos to "punish their enemies" by voting against Republicans. How'd that work out for suckup Dems who got annihilated? ROTFL

I really find it hard to believe that Jon Corzine actually did something to earn make all those millions at Goldman Sachs. Because honestly, he is one of the most STOO-PID people I've ever heard speak.

Back during the GOP's senate 'nuclear option' days I caught him on CSPAN giving a rambling nonsensical 'debate' on our founding, and the function and role of the US Senate in our government. He kept saying whining over and over that the senate was 'The Peoples House' and that it stood for 'minority rights' (or some equally dumb nonsense).

Unfortunately for Jon he wasn't speaking to an empty senate at 3:00 am. And when his time was up Sen George Allen got up and ripped into Jon like he was a 7th grader who just got a Zero on his Civics Test, which Corzine just did. It was *almost* too painful to watch as Allen gave Corzine a 'nice' point by point correction in U.S. History and that od the senate.

That day proved to me - and anyone else watching CSPAN at that time - that Jon Corzine is a really dumb person. And he has to be in the top five of the most STOO-PID people to ever be a U.S. Senator.

And that's saying a lot as 'my' IL just gave the U.S.senate Barry O'DUmmie and Roland 'Pet Rock' Burris.

Right-—Corzine’s not an intellectual heavyweight.

Actually he made about $350 million when he took the G/S division he headed public.

Any moron who had all that inside info, could have made money, too.
