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.

White House logs show that Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein traveled to Washington for at least two events with President Barack Obama, whose 2008 presidential campaign received $994,795 in donations from Goldman's political action committee, its employees and their relatives. He also met twice with Obama's top economic adviser, Larry Summers.

Stuart Varney just reported Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman is going to be in the audience when Obama speaks today.

One Million Dollars and four visits to the White House, guess that officially makes Lloyd Blankfein the Kenny Boy of the Obama administration!
