Frankly, of what I know, I want to see all the managers of Goldman Sachs behind bars until they die.

Oh my goodness gracious me, how surprising to find Goldman Sachs implicated in the potential Greek DEFAULT which may bring the EURO into serious difficulty. What a shock!!!

Goldman Sachs, ALONE, contributed more to BHO's presidential campaign than McCain/Palin received from ALL of Wall Street.

Perhaps Henry Paulson and Timothy Geitner and Barack Obama will help pooor little GS out.

We need a picture of Claude Rains exclaiming “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” at this point.

“Frankly, of what I know, I want to see all the managers of Goldman Sachs behind bars until they die.”

But, but Lloyd Blankfein stated that “Goldman is doing God’s work”

"And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

- Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to John Taylor in 1816.

We are perhaps spending too much time trying to stop "socialism" and not enough trying to stop "Goldman Sachs".

Senator Corazine, a former Goldman CEO, was on CNBC this morning and when a talking head started talking (attempting sarcasm) about how Goldman Sachs was the root of all the evil that has just taken place, another talking head quickly changed the subject before anyone could utter an additional word.
