What does Buffet know? Inside information? Obama may have to throw him under the bus. nah. Buffett - I pay less % in income taxes than my secretary... What he didn't say is he's loaded with municipal bonds So it's ok to raise taxes. Actually, we should take the lead from Warren. If you take the bailout we take a stake in your bank.

``The investment will further bolster our strong capitalization and liquidity position,'' Blankfein, 54, said... so why would Goldman need to pay 10% dividend to Berkshire if they are soooo strong? And warrants below tody's closing price to boot. wtf Berkshire will receive preferred stock with a 10 percent dividend that can be called at any time at a 10 percent premium, the statement said. Berkshire will also receive warrants to purchase $5 billion of common stock with a strike price of $115 per share, exercisable at any time in five years. bloomberg.com
