This essay shows the pervasive influence of Goldman Sachs and its units (like the Goldman-Robert Rubin-funded Hamilton Project embedded in the Brookings Institution) in the Obama government. These names are in addition to those compiled on an older such list and published here at FDL. In the future, I will combine the names here and those on the earlier article but I urge readers to look at the earlier list too (links below). Combined, this is the largest and most comprehensive list of such ties yet published.
For readability and clarity, I have NOT included many of the details and links that are found in the earlier article so as to make this one less repetitive and easier to read. So, if you want more documentation, please look at my earlier diary here at Firedoglake called "A List of Goldman Sachs People in the Obama Government: Names Attached To The Giant Squid’s Tentacles" published on April 27, 2010.
Note too that I have intentionally used the words, "Obama government" rather than "Obama administration" because some of these connections are not technically within his administration. These would include ambassadorial appointments and Supreme Court appointments (like that anticipated for Elena Kagan). This also includes lobbyists like Dick Gephardt who has multiple connections/input to Obama and to Goldman Sachs and the Hamilton Project.
In a similar vein, I use a broader definition than just Goldman Sachs (GS) because GS has funded, along with its ex-leader Robert Rubin, a right-leaning think tank called the Hamilton Project and embedded it within the Brookings Institution. Some of its activities thus also spill over into Brookings Institution projects which doubtlessly was one of the clever reasons Rubin and GS did this, along with providing their essentially neo-con/neo-liberal think tank with camouflage. This has worked beautifully for GS...

Man,Obama’s Red handlers HAVE been planning this for decades! Fortunately for freedom loving Americans,the MSM are not nearly as powerful as they were back at the beginning of the planning.

That’s a little harsh. Very funny but harsh!
“Harsh my arse”. She is Eying them bull baggies. Just wistfully thinking I betcha!
Just look up “tea baggers” on http:wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Dictionary
“0” must be into that!
EXCERPT Here you will find the most comprehensive list of people-groups yet available to show how Obama’s administration has really become the Goldman Sachs administration. I suspect there are far more people out there with such ties that that were missed even after extensively researching this issue.
