Goldman Sachs and BHO

[n david]

[TIC] I wouldn't normally point this out, but since BHO is what he is, I'm motivated to do so ... [TIC]

Seriously, the second-largest contributor to the BHO campaign was none other than the demonized and eeeeeeviiiiillllllll Wall Street company, Goldman Sachs. They gave $994,795 to BHO's Presidential campaign.

Now the question is ....

With BHO and his admin bashing the company recently and the SEC suing the company for fraud .... will BHO return the $994,795 of campaign contributions back to GS? Remember, the Democrats ran in 2008 on being squeaky clean and not linked to any kind of shady businesses or shady lobbyists. So will their leader live up to that billing and return money received from GS?

Congressman Mark Kirk, a Republican, is returning contributions made by GS employees to his campaign. He's received considerably less than BHO, $54,010 - including $21,600 for his Senate campaign.

Will BHO? HA! Not likely.

I don't know.

I see DrudgeReport has links out saying BHO and Hillary Clinton have received 10 (TEN) times what Bush received from Enron .... yet no word in the "mainstream" media about this.

Will Time Magazine put out a hit piece with BHO and Goldman Sachs on its cover?

Will the NYTimes run countless "news" articles bashing BHO and Clinton for their money ties to the evil corporation?

I wouldn't hold my breathe.

It will be interesting to see what Congressman Issa gets from the SEC regarding how the NYTimes was leaked the info on SEC's suit against GS before the SEC even released the press release about the suit; also why certain Democratic organizations got advanced word of the suit and were able to organize a massive campaign that combined the SEC's suit with BHO and the Dem's financial reform bill in Congress.

Shady stuff. And yes, I'm totally motivated by racism in posting this news.

Come on ndavid! Where's your faith? You could have at least said, "Lord I believe, ......... please PLEASE please, help my unbelief!"

How do people become so blinded as to not see the one-sided, lop-sided, SLANT ON POLITICS, that's going on in our world today! The main stream media is pathetic, any way you look at it.

I still maintain that if the main stream media had simply been bi-partisan in their reporting (not supporting Obama or McCain either one-just reporting the facts of who they were, where they had been and what they stood for), during the last presidential election Obama would not be president. ("Just my biased opinion!")

He did not receive it from Goldman Sachs. According to the link, "The organizations themselves did not donate , rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families." If he had received it from the company, that would be one thing (although fat lot of good it did them, lol), but it was individuals, not the company.

The SAME AS WITH BUSH.

Bush was assaulted daily from the news for contributions received from Enron employees. Why shouldn't BHO receive the same?

Yep. Every employee who donates has to declare their employer .... keeping in mind that most Goldman Sachs employees have been giving the majority of their donations to the Democrats since the 1990's ...

while even in the last election about 30% went to Republicans .... like John McCain who received close to a quarter million.

But this won't stop the spinners on hate talk radio even if they whimpered and whined when it was the done to their former champion of conservatism, GWB.

Hypocrite. Sorry, if the media, libs and dems are going to bash one President for contributions and tie him to a failed and disgraced company because of employee contributions ... then the same standard should apply to any President, including your beloved BHO.

I wonder if the blowhards on hate talk radio are living by this standard today on the airwaves ... taking the higher, moral ground ... or hypocritically engaging in the same political and rhetorical activity they once denounced.

I guess that's why we call it politics ...
