This may not be so bad. He used to run Goldman and orchestrated the PRIVATE bailout of LTC. He’s a raging liberal on most issues but he won’t be incompetent like the government drone who currently runs Treasury.

Good Lord! He ran Jersey into the ground and will trump that with running the USA further into the ground!

Wasn't CORSLIME fired by Goldman-Sachs? If he gets the appointment, maybe he can make Carla Katz (former head of the Government Employees Union) his under secretary, a position she is very familiar with!

His former wife had asked during his campaign for NJ Governor: If he cheats on his family, why would the people of NJ trust him with the keys to the NJ Cash Register? The voters didn't listen and now we are paying the price!

LOL, Corzine is the clown who drove NJ to the brink of insolvency with his huge sweetheart deals with the Unions.

He was so bad that even in the deep, deep blue State of NJ he got his ass kicked badly by a Republican after only one term as Governor.

It almost never happens.

Nah. Another brilliant, really-realy smart, supremely intelligent, absolutely all-knowing Progressive to help our brilliant, really-really smart, supremely intelligent, absolutely all-knowing Progressive President to save our country from all those knuckle-dragging, moron, extremist, terrorist Conservatives.

IMHO

He lost a power struggle with Paulson. You have to give the Devil his due — he did a great job overseeing Goldman’s trading operation. They made a fortune while he was in charge. I can think of much worse people for Obama to pick for Treasury.

"Dishonesty and incompetence so often goes hand in hand, because one is used to hide the other"...

Does That Describe This Man?
