Goldman Sachs doesn’t only have former employees scattered around the globe.
Many people in our government (and others) are Goldman Sachs people, past, present and future. Their primary loyalty is to Goldman Sachs (and their own fortunes), not to their own countries.
Much of the TARP money was, and is, focused on the preservation of Goldman Sachs and their debtors (AIG), while their competitors were allowed to fail, or were even forced into bankruptcy, takeovers, or mergers by Goldman Sachs people in our government.
Loyalty to Goldman Sachs crosses party lines. Notice that they receive the same deference from the Obama administration as they did from the Bush administration.
Goldman Sachs has no loyalty beyond survival of Goldman Sachs and the accumulation of more money, influence and power. They don’t care if Obama destroys most of the US as long as they get to survive and make a profit.
Obama rants and raves about the excesses of free enterprise and Wall Street but it is for show - he doesn’t care how Goldman conducts their business as long as they assist him in reaching his goals. It is an unholy alliance of the corrupt.

Obama is too stupid to realize he is working for Goldman Sachs, not the other way around.
