All this yammering about Obama's so called elitist ties because he selected the former CEO of Fannie Mae to help him find a vice president can finally be laid to rest

Goldman Sachs is one of Wall Street’s most prestigious investment banks. Like others in the securities industry, it advises and invests in nearly every industry affected by federal legislation. The firm closely monitors issues including economic policy, trade and nearly all legislation that governs the financial sector. It has been a major proponent of privatizing Social Security as well as legislation that would essentially deregulate the investment banking/securities industry. In August 2002, following months of corporate scandals, congressional investigators launched a probe into whether stock analysts at Goldman Sachs issued biased investment advice in order to protect corporate clients. The firm tends to give most of its money to Democrats. Goldman Sachs' former chief executive, Jon Corzine, served in the U.S. Senate as a Democrat from New Jersey. He's now the state's governor.

But what i do know is that you, as well as many others, keep claiming that johnson is obama's VP watchdog
He's not
hasnt been for a month
but you keep posting like he still is
its funny to me. Even when proven you've been lying this whole time - you still expect us to believe it.
Isnt that funny? Virtually the same.
So they are either just both puppets of the same people
or its just big buisiness trying to kiss ass - like always.
I honestly think you're making a mountain out of a no-hill.
