The White House on Monday strongly denied any involvement in the timing of the high-profile fraud case against Goldman Sachs, after Republicans suggested Democrats were exploiting the charges to build the case for their financial regulatory overhaul.

If Gibbs denies it, then the WH is running the case.

The managers of the Obama Campaign bought the ad rights for “Goldman Sachs SEC” search on GOOGLE to be used as a fundraising tool.

“The White House on Monday strongly denied any involvement in the timing of the high-profile fraud case against Goldman Sachs”

Sure. Purely coincidental; we believe ya...

It has absolutely nothing to do with Barney Frank/Obama’s desire to seize control of the nations banking sector??
Yes we believe you Mr. President..

Also, what makes this really interesting is that Gibbs just made a big defense of the White House knowing nothing. :)

Be sure to make that search and click on the link. Obama isn't getting the ad for free.

Want to hear a Clintonian lie?

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the White House "absolutely" did not have advance notice that the Securities and Exchange Commission would announce its case on Friday.

Mister Clinton was an expert at parsing false statements, in order for them to sound like something completely different from their true but hidden meaning. Sophistry is one word for it.

For Mister Obama? It's sophistry squared.

For example, in 2008 Senator Obama said that if he is elected that anyone earning less than a 250 K$ “will not see their taxes increase by a single dime”; cynically wanting his hysterical peeps to overlook that taxes could go up a zillion "dimes", just not a "single" dime.

Re the Gibbs quotation, Mister Gibbs did not say that the WH had nothing to do with the SEC case; (I'd bet they did)

He merely said that they had no advance notice as to the announcement day. If one thinks about it a few seconds, the WH could have said to the SEC to announce on Friday (but don't give us a confirmation so we can lie more convincingly.)

It’s like having an addict in the house. You never know what they are going to do or say...

I'm guessing you can be reasonably certain they're not going to do honest work, or tell the truth.
