you all know that there are a lot of people who are advisors and some even in official positions within the Obama administration that have their roots planted in Goldman sachs, and they with a bunch of others have had waivers signed by the administration that prevent anyone from applying the conflict of interest policies in the executive branch?
The relevant point in the above is not Obama, or his administration
per se (both wrong targets - or at least not the
correct target) - but the fact that there are those from Goldman Sachs advising, and and holding positions in his administration.
Some of the goldman people have made millions on the Tarp funds when they bought short, paid off when the stock dumped and they knew it was going to dump and then bought at rock bottom prices to cash in when they knew what the spin was.

Lest anyone forget - our former Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson - the man who brought you the financial bailout was
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs ....
And just in case anyone needs the reminder: he was appointed by our last president .... from
the other (supposedly) opposing political party .....
The rules are clear but not for these people.
The rules are
entirely clear for these people:
The rules do not apply for them.
Left, right ..... conservative, liberal .... Dem, Rep ..... the choice you
are being given is a false one ...... but it is not the only choice out there .... one only has to decide to not be part of that game to make a different one ....
