Cory Booker Is The Problem

Good thing Cory Booker is around to save Bain capital from a burning building:

Appearing on NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday, Newark, New Jersey Mayor and Obama surrogate Cory Booker said he was “uncomfortable” with the Obama campaign’s attacks on Mitt Romney’s record with Bain Capital.

“It’s a distraction from the real issues,” Booker said, of both attacks on Bain and Rev. Jeremiah Wright. “It’s either gonna be a small campaign about this crap, or it’s gonna be a big campaign about the issues the American public cares about.”

“I’m not about to sit here and indict private equity,” Booker added. “If you look at the totality of Bain Capital’s record, they’ve done a lot to support businesses — to grow businesses. And this to me, I’m very uncomfortable.”

Booker's a rising start in the Democratic party, and if he's defending private equity, that must mean he has real ambitions.

Corporate whore Democrats like Cory Booker are the problem, and they'll be on the other side of the civil war for the soul of the Democratic party, if one ever occurs. More likely he'll be nominated for president, start championing the awesomeness of private equity and drone strikes and everyone will pretend he's a progressive because he supports gay marriage and seems like a nice guy.
