Do You Support Trenton's A.C. Takeover? 
"Jon Corzine? Never Met Him..."
Matt Rooney | November 5, 2009
Free advice for President Obama: in the future, avoid campaigning for someone if you don't want to take ownership of the results.
You visited New Jersey, held rallies, blasted out emails of support and recorded radio ads to buoy Jon Corzine's floundering reelection campaign. You locked arms -- ideologically and literally -- with a failed governing experiment sporting a sweater vest. You told us that this bearded hippie in a bad tie was a necessary "partner" in the battle to fulfill your agenda. Unhesitatingly, you campaigned with him on health care reform, the economy, jobs, and other hotly-debated topics with profound statewide and national implications.
Then the exact same voters who elected you in grand fashion just one year ago decided to send your anointed ally packing, and suddenly you want to pretend like this gross little political love affair with Jon Corzine never happened?
No dice, Barack! I'm very sorry, but you just experienced the political version of the "coyote ugly" effect. Take your walk of shame and deal with it like a man.
After all, you're on the record supporting New Jersey's soon-to-be former governor - Jon Corzine:
So is Obama a bald-faced liar or just a really crappy friend?
How about all of the above, Save Jerseyans?

"I want you to know I'm proud to stand with a man who wakes up everyday thinking of your future and the future of Jersey, and that'sGovernor Jon Corzine."- Barack Obama, @ rally with Jon Corzine on July 16, 2009
"He's one of the best partners I have in the White House. We work together. We know our work is far from over."- Barack Obama, @ another rally with Jon Corzine on November 1, 2009
"President Obama is not planning to watch Tuesday nights election returns, Obama aides Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod tell CNN. Obama is more likely to watch Tuesday night's Chicago Bulls game than any political coverage, according to Axelrod. The president's senior staff have also decided not to hold a watch party to keep an eye on election returns as they come in."- Election Night at the Obama White House, November 3, 2009
So is Obama a bald-faced liar or just a really crappy friend?
