Good Organization Chart and info at this sight. I posted this in light of the Keystone Pipeline bill failing by 1 vote in the Senate. I don't know Warren Buffett's position on the Keystone Pipeline (I did find one article where he thought it was good for the country). However, he's making lots of money from the shipment of Canadian Shale crude via his railroad interests. This article is a few months old, but thought it was worth posting.

Well, he lobbied with Obama and won. It’s a billion dollar a year windfall to his company transporting oil from Canada to the South. It’s all about lobbyists. Obama has more lobbyists than any other president.

This has been discussed on FR, for several years. We knew what old Warren was up to, with the purchase of his railcar fleet...no way in heck KPXL would get passed with Uncle Warren betting against it :(

Before he was the man behind the exploding trains, he was the man behind the exploding Mortgage Backed Securities.
His firm, Moody’s, was rating MBS’s that were loaded with mortgages made to illegal immigrant strawberry pickers making $25,000/year as AAA investment grade securities.
This made it possible for pension plans, churches, and other non-profits to buy the toxic assets.
When they blew up, and Goldman was holding the bag, he then came along and bought their stock for peanuts to save them from going under.
He should be swinging from a lamppost.
