I have not seen any evidence that he is connected with Wall Street or Goldman Sachs

From Wikipedia:

Following his return to civilian life, Pantano earned an economics degree from New York University. He worked as an energy trader for Goldman Sachs. From 1995 - 1998, he was a member of the start-up team that integrated top-tier investment bank culture(GS) with utility business (BG&E) in Constellation Power, an electricity trading joint venture that was acquired for $11 billion by FPL.

Like I said, another G/S flying monkey "too big to fail".

and his Military service is not irrelevant

As far as being "qualified" for holding office, yes it is.

I did a quick search and opened up the Wikipedia search. I did not see the paragraph that stated that he was a energy trader for Goldman Sachs. I did another search and found it on a different source. I went then back to the Wikepedia page that I still had open and I found it then.

You notice it says he worked as an energy trader from 1995 to 1998. That was 12 years ago. We have 2010 now Dude. and since when is it a crime to be Wall Street trader?

Also it says that he he was a member of the start-up team.

You know there is a difference between is a was, don't you? And again what crime is there in having or being a member of a start-up team for an investment bank culture?

You should repost that, underlining the parts that are illegal, immoral or unethical.

If you can.

Are you saying his military service disqualifies him from holding office?

Are all with military service in their background disqualified from holding office, or just him?

If “just him”, what is it about his service that disqualifies him?
