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

“That’s what George Soros does. It’s his business.”

This isn't any kind of business. This isn't creating a useful product or service. This isn't investing in the economy.

This is a lying parasite making money off corrupt politicians and the taxpayers. This is like Obama and Biden’s friend Corzine stealing millions and getting away with it. This is like Solyndra. This is what is destroying America.

I repeat: This is what Soros does. This is his business.

Of course you are right. Soros is a parasite.
He was a parasite when he helped Hitler rob the Jews during WW2 , and he is still a parasite. He creates a problem and he creates a profit from it.

He is a natural born POS,scum, someone should have stepped on years ago, He became rich off the misery of others.You may not call it a business, but it has made Soros a rich man.
