Yep, in fact the little twerp admitted that he would not have bought any of the GS preferred stock if the bailout wasn't going to pass.

Remember HE didn’t buy it, his company did. And, frankly, even if he did he can lose $5 Billion and not miss it, believe it or not.

I’m conflicted because he didn’t get where he is being an idiot on financial matters, but at the same time he also has some political beliefs I disagree with. I am starting to have trouble knowing which part of his mind is behind what he says.
