It's not about whether or not Soros particular input in this instance was good or bad. It's about the fact that he has bought influence in the US government that you and I, and 99.99999999999% of all citizens don't have. This guy was found guilty of insider trading, has manipulated international currency, and was not elected to public office in the US, but nonetheless has the ability to just send a message and have the US SOS do his bidding. Not to mention that he holds dual citizenship and his commitment as a US citizen remains questionable. All of this is most definitely problematic.
I have accepted that no president will take my phone calls or read my e-mails. I don’t feel terribly offended that they talk to billionaires. Just another fact of life.
I think that when there was a fear that the violence will explode again it was the right thing to suggest some calm Nordic elder statesman goes to calm everyone down.
Since it didn’t happen it should show that even a billionaire can only ask and not tell.
