Yes, he is a democrat. One piece I read about him said that there are thoughts that he is trying to do like Spitzer did and go after some big businesses as a way to get his name out there so he can run for governor.

As for Obama cutting corners. . . I don't know. He doesn't own any businesses. Most of the money he has earned so far has come from salaries for his elected positions and sales of his books. He has also released 10 years worth of tax returns so I'm sure if there was something questionable it would have been brought to light already especially considering how much pressure he has been hitting Romney with over his tax returns.

I don't know that Bain has done anything illegal, but I have a feeling they will find some grey area stuff or stuff that can be explained as being "reasonable errors."

If there is bad stuff, then the big question will be if this stuff occurred while he was there or after he left.
