Imagine that indeed....and someone has had to be looking the other way for it to be continueing for that long.
OTOH has Obama any connection with those TX brothers? ;~)
Actually Obama's connections did him more harm than good. All of the latino sucking up led to incumbent NJ Gov Corzine's humiliating defeat at the hands of a conservative Republican with no war chest to match Corzine's.....and a Lt gov elected----who latinos hated for coming down hard on illegals when she was a sheriff.
<><>Obama directed the WH take over Corzines campaign.
<><>Obama campaigned in NJ three times, Biden was there twice.
<><>Obama TV ads 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 being screened by Obamas WH geniuses.
(b) Corzines aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obamas pollsters took over for Corzines polling team, and,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions.
(e) Obama sent NJ $17.2 billion "stimulus" which promptly disappeared.
(f) secret strategy sessions were held with latinos;
(g) a Peruvian PAC endorsed Corzine.
To no avail---former Goldman-Sachs exec Jon Corzine lost handily. He is now under investigation in the MF Global missing billions.
