Billionaire George Soros gave advice and direction on how President Obama should allocate so-called “stimulus” money in a series of regular private meetings and consultations with White House senior advisers even as Soros was making investments in areas affected by the stimulus program.
It’s just one more revelation featured in the blockbuster new book that continues to rock Washington, Throw Them All Out, authored by Breitbart News editor Peter Schweizer.
Mr. Soros met with Mr. Obama’s top economist on February 25, 2009 and twice more with senior officials in the Old Executive Office Building on March 24th and 25th as the stimulus plan was being crafted. Later, Mr. Soros also participated in discussions on financial reform.
Then, in the first quarter of 2009, Mr. Soros went on a stock buying spree in companies that ultimately benefited from the federal stimulus.
•Soros doubled his holdings in medical manufacturer Hologic, a company that benefited from stimulus spending on medical systems
•Soros tripled his holdings in fiber channel and software maker Emulus, a company that wound up scoring a large amount of federal funds going to infrastructure spending
•Soros bought 210,000 shares in Cisco Systems, which came up big in the stimulus lottery

I honestly do not know how he is still alive.
Why is anyone surprised?
I would like a news-person to get Martha Stewart’s opinion.
Insider trading........ kerry, Pelosi, boehner
Soros is like the material you get on the bottom of your shoe that never seems to entirely scrap off. The odor still remains.
All this stuff happened in the first quarter of 2009. It is now the fourth quarter of 2011 and this is the first we hear anything about it.
It is written up in a small web blog and still ignored by the MSM.
No wonder Barry was so intent on keeping it. He wanted the boss to be able to reach him at any time. Obama also hosted his boss to the White House four times in 2009.
Anyone who thinks Obama is actually running things is delusional. Soros is the true power in this country.
True Evil never dies.
That would be because, like Obama, the "media" don't want to offend their boss either.

When Soros says “jump,” his pet Barry replies “Yassuh, boss!”
I’m getting a mental image of Ox teaching the goof to play poker in the movie Stripes. “If it was me, I’d go all in, but that’s me, I’m aggressive.”
That’s what George Soros does. It’s his business.
Why should anyone be surprised.
If it’s good enough for Pelosi and Boehner why not Soros?
Lock this predator up.
And other congress insider traders.
Life is sweet for congress critters.
No difference than both sides of congress benefiting from insider trading.
Funny how it only a “special interest” when funding conservatives.
Funny how Democrats point the finger at the extreme elements of the Republican Party. Most of those Democrats are the hard left.
