Obama to Keep Goldman Funds reports,

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 latter statement from Mr. Sevugan is an outright lie because Barack Obama is pushing for cap and trade legislation whose express purpose (per fellow Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand of New York as opposed to conservative talk radio) is to line the pockets of Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Chase, and other Wall Street firms at the expense of the American people. The bottom line is that Barack Obama is squarely in the pockets of Goldman Sachs executives who can peel off twenty-three hundred dollar bills to support his campaign and then use another C-note to light their $20 cigars and then Barry's cigarette.
