Wall Street bankers once again are the target of populist outrage, this time over the news that Goldman Sachs (GS), Citigroup (C), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), and others are receiving limited doses of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine

What a prophet Orwell was.

According to the manufavturer there is enough and if it were distributed by the manufacturer there would be no “shortage.” The problem is that our bungling socialist government has taken over distribution.

Of COUURSE they got special treatment! That is what being privledged MEANS! Just like when AIG Corp was given HUNDREDS of BILLIONS in bailout money, and IMMEDIATELY repaid 2 billion or so to Goldman Sachs! I am sure that life is quite nice.

. . .the terrorists in Gitmo and these same TARP bankers get the vaccine when there still isn’t enough for the little people.

Like to know if the below is happening in the USA or Europe. Heard rumors it is occurring in some western countries:

Haj Pilgrims, Frontline Staff To Get Priority

Nine hundred doses have been brought to Mecca and Medina for Brunei's haj pilgrims. Due to logistical problems, the pilgrims could not get the jabs in time before their departure. They would be given the flu shots in Mecca and Medina as required by the haj authorities in Saudi Arabia.

Now if the Saudi's aren't allowing them in without a shot, where are Muslims in this country, the UK, Germany and elsewhere getting the H1N1 vaccine to make the Haji?

Yup. GS was Obama’s biggest corporate donor.

Who gets the vaccine when nurses on wards treating flu patients get can’t it?

GS big shots.

Great political ammo here. Especially since we have the WH log which show both the CEO of Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan visiting the WH.

We also have Lieberman’s little trip to talk to Sibelius at HHS last week. Connecticut had been promised half a million doses of vaccine by the end of October. It got 180,000. Lieberman announced, after his talk with Sibelius, that HHS would see CT would get 100,000 more doses within days.
