Obama to Keep Goldman Funds

BRODY MULLINS AND JEAN SPENCER

President Barack Obama won't return about $1 million that employees of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. donated to his 2008 presidential campaign, according to a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee.

"We make these decisions on a case-by-case basis, and in this case we have not accepted contributions from specific individuals accused of wrongdoing, nor have we advocated for positions that big Wall Street banks generally favor," said DNC spokesman Hari Sevugan, speaking on behalf of Mr. Obama.

The development comes as fallout over the Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit against Goldman continues to reverberate in political campaigns across the country.

Wall Street is not immune from destruction yet, and not just threatened by derivatives and insolvency.

Marxist regimes suck all private property from conquered peoples and institutions until they are dry, and then get rid of the remnants entirely. At that time, holding all, they can, at their leisure redistribute ALL, until they.....run out of assets to distribute, then like the aliens in Independence Day, have to move on to another source.
