Obama & Goldman Sachs
More evidence of the oligarchy that runs America these days. It has come out that Goldman Sachs CEO has been a frequent visitor of the Obama White House, even as the lawyers prepared for the SEC fraud case against Goldman Sachs (GS).
Take a look at the article from McClatchy:
While Goldman Sachs’ lawyers negotiated with the Securities and Exchange Commission over potentially explosive civil fraud charges, Goldman’s chief executive visited the White House at least four times.
Also, apparently, Goldman and Obama share legal advisors:
Meanwhile, however, Goldman is retaining former Obama White House counsel Gregory Craig as a member of its legal team. In addition, when he worked as an investment banker in Chicago a decade ago, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel advised one client who also retained Goldman as an adviser on the same $8.2 billion deal.
