If I were Obama, I'd put a man in GS that could attend every meeting, tap any phone and read any document. They are the top greedheads and bear close watching. He should have a minder in EVERY big investment bank, after recent history.

Conspiracy theory warning...

I was thinking this morning... what if Goldman engineered the banking crisis. Remember they were short collateralized mortgages.

*Minor wacko theory - they were just manipulating the market, which wouldn't be surprising, and things got out of hand...
*Major wacko theory - they intentionally brought down the banking system to eliminate competitors...

It wouldn't have taken much, just some well place rumors that happened to be true about other banks and AIG and freddy fanny. Just pounce on investor confidence all at once, got your friends in important positions in government, pull out the rug from under everthing... you have motive, opportunity and they are certainly now in the cat bird seat.

Never mind....

You might want to review Geitner's resume...

You want to put a leash on him and Obama?

Why not, it's been Goldman Sachs policy to have a man in the Whitehouse, attending every meeting, reading all the documents, etc: Rubin, Summers, Paulson, Geithner...
