Goldman Sachs Capo Orders Crew to Lay Low After Big Score
The Lufthansa job was like looting a parking meter compared to what Goldman Sachs pulled off. Now, goodfella Lloyd Blankfein is asking his people to lay low after the U.S. Treasury score:
Goldman Sachs Group Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein told employees to avoid making high profile purchases, the New York Post said, citing sources.
Blankfein, who first asked employees to avoid large purchases late last year, has stepped up his campaign in recent weeks, a source told the paper."This is a sensitive time for us, and (Blankfein) wants to make sure that we're not being seen living high on the hog," the paper quoted an anonymous Goldman executive as saying.
Goldman has faced a torrent of unwanted publicity recently including an unflattering story in Rolling Stone magazine, which accused the bank of having a key role in various market bubbles stretching back to the1920s. A Goldman spokeswoman declined to comment to the paper.
Obama was against the war in Iraq and then took office and escalated the war in Afghanistan. He railed against the greed on Wall Street and proposed a targeted tax on the banks, but facilitated the bailout of the worst hedge fund speculators and the unconscionable greed of investment banker con artists. He has done next to nothing to confiscate or put the breaks on record bonuses and payouts to the banksters as they tighten credit to small businesses and profess a let them eat cake attitude to the victims of their predatory loan schemes

A day taken to celebrate the absolute wonder which is today's Messiah, Barack Obama. Either inauguration day or election day or whatever day you particularly want to celebrate
"Hey man, wanna go do something?"
"Nah man, I'm taking a day to celebrate Obama Fest"
