Goldman Sachs bailout/Friends of Obama?!
Didn't they go under while Bush was in office?
No they didn't go under. If all these banks hadn't been bailed out, how would the politicians (on both sides) get most of their campeign money.
I'm only picking on Obama because he received more... than anyone else from Citigroup, Goldman and others.
