Hey Jim, so you think Paulson looking out for Goldman Sachs would be just like appointing Paul Engel to be the head of antitrust at the Justice Department? ;-)

Paulson looked out for Goldman Sachs...but put Bear Stearns and Lehman Bros into BK...which happened to be GS competitors. AIG was bailed because they might insure Congress' pension plan plus 13 billion of that went to Goldman Sachs. Paulson was exempted from cap gains when he became treasury secretary.

Does it ever dawn on you that your default position is ALWAYS the VERY most cynical as far as human motivation? Do you think ANYONE, ANYTIME does ANYTHING that isn't corrupt?

O is going along with it now. I hope he turns on them when the time is right but don't count on it. They are big contributors.

Obama's biggest contributors are the people of the United States of America. That's is why he is called the people's president. Its why he could charge the CEOs who ate lunch when they came to the WH asking for favors and not worry about the repercussions. He is not beholden to GS or any other corporation. Why don't you start reading instead of echoing the chants of the dissidents in this country.
