Many man links with this search term return a 404 :06: very suspicious.

The Huff Po has a little on it....

Goldman in trouble!? no wonder work has been slow

Funding "both" sides?
Sounds like a big part of USA's two party illusion.

Yup, that.

Nothing's new here. Remember that all motion is relative, and that the appearance of motion is entirely dependant on the perspective of the observer.

Don't be fooled, this administration is no more/less corrupt, greedy, or subversive than the last (or the one before that, or the one before that). Need I point to Watergate, Iran Contra, Whitewater, warrantless wiretapping, etc., etc., ad infinium, ad nauseum. :yawn:

They're all corrupt, and they always will be.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's human nature.

Indeed. Looks like GS was hedging their bets - they gave $230,000 to McCain's campaign as well: http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid=n00006424

Actually, comparing the lists for both major candidates shows a lot of overlap :hmmm:

Except for that UCA thing. I'd love to know more about that. Thats a hellua lot of money.

So while the politico's are busy berating Goldman and demonizing them they still take money from them.

Welcome to the world of politics, its the same all over.

Well well I knew something was funky here.

It seems some activist group 'bought' the search link for Goldman Sachs to direct you to a white house web page :-?

Insidious.
