Cory Booker, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey stepped all over himself yesterday on "Meet the Press" when he stated that Bain Capital, Mitt Romney's old company, should not be blamed for a job that the country has supported through other companies.  He stressed that even he had to let employees go to balance the city's budget.  I have to say my mouth dropped open when I listened to him.  He continued saying he was "nauseated"to hear that President Obama's campaign is using the Bain debacle with Romney and that it was dirty pool (my words, not his).  Again, here you have a so-called surrogate to the Obama campaign and fellow Democrat throwing his candidate under the bus.

Cory Booker is a terrific mayor, in my opinion.  Someone who has a future in national politics.  He's done many audacious and progressive things in which he is known.   Unlike the Republicans, who mass together for a candidate, the Democrats tend to make it more difficult for their candidates as seen with Booker.  Where is Booker's loyalty and why haven't other Democrats come forward to support the president?

There's nothing wrong with having an opinion but when you are a national figure and a supporter of the Obama team you don't go on TV and show anything but loyalty.  The question remains if his loyalty was directed more toward corporations such as Bain and less directed at his own candidate.   Oh yes, Mayor Booker takes corporation funds from companies such as Bain.   Shame on you, Mayor!
