There’s not enough perfume in the world to cover the stench of these feces and their lies.

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel met with Wall Street investors Sunday, the night before his boss, President Obama, criticized such meetings with Wall Street investors.

THINGS WE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT RAHM EMANUEL Did Rahm reveal all of his ties to financial institutions involved in Obama's trillion dollar federal bailout of financials? Read on.

Goldman Sachs Will Be Sitting Pretty With Emanuel in the Obama White House
By Timothy P. Carney, Examiner Columnist, Nov 21, 2008

EXCERPT Today, in these tumultuous times of bailouts and meltdowns when the investment banking leviathan needs Washington more than ever before, Goldman Sachs can leverage its most valuable asset yet White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.

Traditionally a Democratic booster, and one of Barack Obama’s top sources of funds in this past election, Goldman has always had particularly strong allies in government.

Rahm Emanuel is one such ally. An interesting early chapter in the Goldman-Emanuel relationship took place in the setting of Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign for the White House. Clinton hired Emanuel as his chief fundraiser.At the same time, however, Emanuel was on the payroll of Goldman Sachs, receiving $3,000 per month from the firm to “introduce us to people,” in the words of one Goldman partner at the time. This is certainly a noteworthy relationship, but it’s one that has almost entirely escaped scrutiny. (snip)

In his four terms in Congress, Emanuel raised $74,750 from Goldman, making the firm his number four source of funds. Goldman has helped Emanuel. How has Emanuel helped Goldman? The most obvious answer, as mentioned in this column two weeks ago, is in Emanuel’s lead role in shepherding the “$700 billion” bailout—first proposed by former a Goldman CEO, Bush Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson—through the skeptical House.

Of course, back in the Clinton days, Goldman benefited from NAFTA and the bailout of the Mexican currency, with Emanuel pushing NAFTA through Congress, and Rubin hammering out the peso bailout.

Did Goldman improperly funnel money to the Clinton campaign by subsidizing Emanuel’s salary in 1992? Did Goldman’s help to Clinton spur the Democratic president to push NAFTA and the Mexican bailout?

The answers to these questions are opaque, and with Emanuel burrowed deep within the Obama White House, the continued relationship between Goldman Sachs and Obama’s right hand man won’t be easy to follow.

Watch which regulations of Wall Street Obama fights for. Watch where the bailout money goes.

This pond scum along with a complicit dinomedia is doing everything within its considerable power to deflect the root cause of the financial meltdown — Dim policies that created TRILLION$ in toxic loans in the first place. Con artists of the highest order. They could teach Bernie Madoff a few things about gaming a system. A fresh pile of SH!T would smell like roses up beside this bunch!!!

So Obama thinks it's not ok to meet with interested parties to get their input on upcoming legislation?

I tell you it's shocking that he thinks this!

I've been trying to figure him out all year long. The only thing I can think of is that it will soon be illegal to take or post pictures of him, or include his caricature in political cartoons, because he is aspiring to be the next Muhammad.

That this might occur would appear to be impossible, but with all else that has happened, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

Amazing! These guys STILL don’t get it!
They think they can still feed handouts to Cronkite and Huntley/Brinkley and nobody will pay any attention to what the left hand is doing.

“The Senate Republican leader, he paid a visit to Wall Street a week or two ago,” Obama said. ...... I don’t know exactly what was discussed. “

What ???
Barry declared in his Saturday morning address that he knew exactly what was discussed.
After stating that Wall Street was almost entirely responsible for today’s economic crisis and that his bill would prevent it from ever happening again-
Barry stated that Mitch McConnell was an ally of those who caused the economy to crash.
And that McConnell , like his Wall Street allies , profits from maintaining the status quo.
Barry said that McConnell met with over two dozen bankers
“ to talk about how to block the bill.”
And then Barry called McConnell deceptive , cynical and in so many words -a liar.
It was one of the most unprofessional and venomous Saturday addresses, probably ever.
Barry is clearly unraveling.

let me get this right
the second biggest contributor to bozo was Goldman , bozo hired a bunch of guys form that company.
Wall street gave more money to bozo than the GOP
Bozo has given bailouts and cushy nice tax incentives

but they then go on the attack against wall street.

Then there is the MSM who loves to put down wall street bu they make money through wall street via their 401k’s etc

OK got it liberal far left kook hypocrisy at it’s finest again

What’s shocking is how a scrawny angry toad like Rahm Emmanuel made $14 million bucks for a few months of pimping corporate-govt incest (aka rainmaking) before he ran for Congress

Nothing more would shock me except obama giving back the million bucks campaign donations he got from GS ... like Bush gave back the $6K he got from Abramoff

Here we go again, with the villification of stock brokers and wall street. Then will come some arcane , draconian laws to destroy investment trading,such as a tax on each trade made.

All this is simply a thug shakedown of investors so Obama can tax the hell out of the industry and private investors.

Obama is nothing but a shake down artist.

Eff him amd his running dogs.They be gone soon!

Sounds like a shake-down, doesn't it?
