John And Teresa And Conflict

Posted by: Laer at 03:48 pm

T

he fact that John Kerry owns somewhere between $17,000 and $65,000 in AIG stock might send your conflict of interest meters buzzing, were it not for the fact that would-have-been first lady Teresa Heinz Kerry owns over $2 million in AIG stock.

Kerry is on the Finance and the Commerce, Science and Technology committees, both of which have direct responsibilities regarding the AIG bailout.

Heinz also owns up to $4 million in GE stock (Kerry has up to $80,000), a company that has been positioning itself aggressively to benefit greatly from cap and trade legislation … and one that shamelessly promotes Dem causes.

But John is a man of the people, folks.  He pours his ketchup on his fries the same way you do.  His wife just happens to have about $3 million in Heinz stock, so he’d like you to use a lot of ketchup.

The nifty source for this - and the stock info on Kennedy, Obama and  others - is ProCon.org.  None of the others is as juicy as Kerry’s though.  Since he owns individual stocks and the others have their holdings in blind trusts or mutual funds, Kerry opens himself to 57 Varieties of criticisms.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
