Disappearing without a trace

How easily we forget.

Hopefully the American people, during this current election cycle, will remember the lavish praise heaped upon Jon Corzine by President Obama and Vice President Biden. They told us he was one of the brightest and wisest members of their party.

This is the same Corzine who presided over one of the largest financial debacles in the history of America, in which $1.2 billion of investors' capital disappeared without a trace.

Perhaps it's also listening to individuals like Obama and Biden that is causing our financial freedoms to disappear without a trace.

While the president spends enormous amounts of money advertising to try and heap the negative attention on his opponents, we the people would be very wise to remember what this president has done in the past, and not what he is now saying with his silver tongue, eloquence in the here and now.

There's a well-known saying, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." Let's make sure we're not shamed again.
