"That all goes to Obama's friends Buffett and Imelt... it's a follow bouncing ball scenario.. Buffett buys into GE, Imelt is added to Obama's economic team, GE makes the wind turbines......Buffett gets richer, Imelt saves his job with GE"

Yes - check out comment #22 here where I connected some disturbing dots back in October '08: Bill gives Paulson unprecedented power

9. Warren Buffet = major investor in Goldman Sachs for $5 billion (he said to Maria Bartiromo on CNBC that he would only have made investment if he knew a taxpayer bailout would be approved). He took perpetual preferred shares with a dividend yield of 10%, or $500 million a year. Those dividends take precedence over other payments to common shareholders. Seems like a sweet deal. Why didn’t Paulson consider this approach? Maybe because it doesn’t provide a door for his investment buddies to get their preferred shares, it only helps the taxpayer…?

10. Warren Buffet = insurance company investor (GEICO, General RE, etc.)
