Default Obama and Goldman Sachs...

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

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

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.

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/co...&cid=n00006424

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

Top contributors for Obama
University of California $1,591,395
Goldman Sachs $994,795
Harvard University $854,747
Microsoft Corp $833,617
Google Inc $803,436
Citigroup Inc $701,290
JPMorgan Chase & Co $695,132
Time Warner $590,084

Top Contributors for McCain
Merrill Lynch $373,595
Citigroup Inc $322,051
Morgan Stanley $273,452
Goldman Sachs $230,095
JPMorgan Chase & Co $228,107
US Government $208,379
AT&T Inc $201,438

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.

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.
