ThinkProgress: 'Bain and Financial Industry Gave Over $565000 To Cory Booker'

ThinkProgress: 'Bain and Financial Industry Gave Over $565000 To Cory Booker'

http://www.thinkprogress.org/election/2012/05/21/488002/bain-financial-industy-gave- over-565000-to-newark-mayor-cory-booker-for-2002-campaign

IMO, this explains a LOT about Booker's Meet the Press denunciation of one of the main themes of the Obama campaign. Booker apparently plans to go back to his Wall Street friends for future funding, and for that reason was very attentive to their interests yesterday.

What's your opinion?
