'Goldman Sachs Group (GS) employees have changed to red from blue.

Four years ago, employees of New York-based Goldman gave three-fourths of their campaign donations to Democratic candidates and committees, including presidential nominee Barack Obama. This time, they’re showering 70 percent of their contributions on Republicans....

...“A switch in party preference of this magnitude is virtually unheard of among major companies with an established presence in Washington,” said Rogan Kersh, provost at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina....

...Employees of just four of the top 25 companies, Time Warner Inc. (TWX), Pfizer Inc. (PFE), Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), continued to give a majority of their donations to Democrats.'

Well if that's not a ringing endorsement for Obama I don't know what is!

That people who know what they're doing with money and creating business don't support the guy who is sending this country down the road to ruin? Not exactly a ringing endorsement of "the guy who is gonna put Americans back to work"... That's called switching away from the guy whose policies have created a stale malaise of complacency and decline...

Wake up, dude. Goldman and its ilk put this country on the path to ruin. Their sole interest is in maximizing their own profits regardless of the damage it causes.

"In an e-mail message to select clients, Thomas C. Mazarakis, the head of Goldman’s fundamental strategies group, acknowledged that his unit often provided investment ideas that the firm had already traded on. Sometimes Goldman has even taken the opposite approach, betting against particular instruments that the group has recommended."

You can see why they would back Romney!

(Let's not mention that Geithner... the man Obama picked to handcraft the new monetary policies... is a big Goldman man...)

Wake up man... Obama has been selling this country down the river...

I know Bush is a bubling idiot when he speaks...

That's not reason to pretend Obama has a clue how to straighten up the mess of an economy that he is failing to help recover...

Romney does... it's his specialty... it's even what you try to criticize him for often... Knowing how to make the absolute smartest financial decisions for the organization he is running, advising, a part of...

Obama used the driving analogy during the last election cycle... well it works... He's got his learners permit... the Republicans took back the House so they could apply the double break when needed... but Obama still got us stuck in the mud... It's time to let the adults get us out of this mess... Let's put the guy who has a lifetimes worth of experience mudding go fourbying to get us out of this...

He means he was faster to show that Obama's political cronies protected their old buddies over at Goldmann Sachs... Way to go Eric Holder!!! Justice always prevails when he's on the payroll... or is it pronounced prowl...

Oh, I see. I feel like an idiot. That'll teach me to look more carefully. II was writing my response and failed to notice Powerob's post.

I am so totally pwned (?) My humble apologies for my unnecessary redundancy. I guess I'm showing age in more ways than one. Pretty soon, I'll need dog tags so I don't getr lost at Walgreens.

Yours of small face.
