Obama’s Playing Web Politics with Goldman Sachs


Barack Obama’s largest corporate contributor for his 2008 presidential run was none other than Goldman Sachs.

But that doesn’t matter much to him as his approval rating s sinks like the Titanic. So, Obama is turning against his friends on Wall Street in a deceitful pole dance to garner Democrat votes in the November elections by bashing Goldman.

Goldman Sachs is not taking it lying down and has hired Obama’s ex-lawyer Greg Craig for their defense team.

Awe sukey sukey now!

From WorldNet Daily:

President Obama is bringing his war on Wall Street to the enemy's turf.

He'll make his pitch for financial reform in the heart of lower Manhattan Thursday - even as his team make hay of the Goldman Sachs fiasco with a tech savvy appeal to Democratic donors.

Internet surfers who entered "Goldman Sachs SEC" into Google were directed to the president's campaign Web site via a sponsored link titled "Help Change Wall Street."

The White House's political arm paid for the keywords -- but would not say how much.

The tactic provided the latest evidence of how Obama and the Democratic National Committee are using the Securities and Exchange Commission's bombshell fraud suit against the financial giant to push financial-reform legislation through Congress.

But showing it, too, was gearing up for a political fight, Goldman Sachs hired Obama's former White House counsel, Gregory Craig, Politico reported last night.

Meanwhile, Democratic former Gov. Eliot Spitzer, speculated yesterday that there was "no coincidence" to the timing of the SEC suit.

And Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) wrote in a letter sent to the SEC, "It must be nice for Democrats that the SEC's filing against Goldman Sachs so conveniently fits into their political agenda."
