The Banks must not be giving the Obamaites enough of the Vig, and this civil action is a way to extort more out of them. If Goldman is “guilty as charged”, then those responsible and who knowingly profited should be thrown into a ditch and shot (after a fair trial of course, like with KSM).
I see it as more of a political move...a way to excite the left-wing for the election...those who have soured on Zero because he supported TARP and hasn't gone after the banks enough.
The number of threads about this on DU indicates that they are rising to the bait.
