Wall Street suspects Goldman charges 'not coincidental' to financial reform effort

Barclays banking analyst Roger Freeman comes right out and blasts the SEC effort as “a well-timed, and perhaps not coincidental, effort to sway some on-the-fence Republicans” to get tough on financial reform.

Legit move by Barry, or wag the dog for another of his 'takeovers' of the private sector...you decide.

And Barry's push from his end:

My Way News - Obama: Fresh crisis without new financial rules

The real problem? As to the OP's post 1? I belive the latter. It is precisely
one of many to come for Government to take over the private sector. Not only is the camel's nose under the tent? The camel is tearing the place apart.

From what little I've read on this, an investigation is warranted. I was happy to hear limiting the use of derivatives was a priority for 0bama too.

oh... i think they should let the banks do exactly what they did in 2008 to almost crash the world economy.

please try not to allow your ODS to warp every aspect of your politics.

The weird part is I had a Finance class taught by a professor who was a NYSE Specialist back when it really mattered and he said a "investment bankers short" that is, shorting the overpriced stock you're touting to the public was a legitimate way the bankers made money.

Wag the dog.

Nothing that Barry's merry band of Marxist goons does is designed to do anything but cripple the private sector.

If the charges against Goldman are true, then that organization ought to be put down via the RICO laws.

Of course, thanks to the DEREGULATORS in office in the last twenty years, I doubt what they did was illegal.

UNLESS OF COURSE, they pressured the Moodys or STandard and Poor to evaluate the risk assessments for the financial instruments they were touting.

Then what they did was FRAUD.

How many 'crashes' did the economy have before then?

I know you think posting 'ODS' is clever but I view it as childish.

This president continues to act irriponsibly and never considers the long term effects of what he does, calling that out is not 'derangement', but constanting defending is indeed 'derangement' of a different kind.

You sound just like the Bushbots when I used to call their king on his bullshit.

Problem being that GS, along with AIG, was a pass-through for TARP funds going to foreign sources.

Also, an alarming amount of GS minions end up with jobs in the treasury Department and Fed.

Like most of everything the current dynasty gets itself involved with, it's a safe bet that they haven't thought through all the ins and outs.

Of course the public will bneed evidence of finincial manipulation and fruad to justify re regulation of the finiancial industry.

Call it wag the dog if you want I call it presenting evidence to support an action.
And if corrupt finianciers get swatted good, so much the better.

Have you noticed that there has been a pattern whenever Barry wants major changes?

First stories are flaoted to the media months in advance (that is when we heard wall street would be a target) they the justice department makes arrests or files charges (just happened with Goldman) followed by Barry saying MAJOR changes are need to avert disaster?

Another example of this is the attacks on free speech, first the department of homeland security floats that 'right wing extremist groups' are THE major threat (While ignoring islamic extremists, who actually have set up camps in the USA), then we see arrests (the Huteree militia in this case) followed in this case by Bill Clinton claiming there are 'links' to the oklamahoma bomber, talk radio and the protests movements against reckless spending and overtaxation, and that something 'has to be done.'

All the while they ignore the damage their own reckless spending did to the economy the last year or the fact they have done nothing to get people back to work, (of course they claimed they did with 'stimulous' but only obamatrons believe that lie at this point).

It's a tired old refrain:

Are you so enamored with hate for Obama that you choose NOT understand the nature of the crime Goldman is being accused of?

If it is true, Goldman ought to be put down, and the players responsible for this event ought to go to prison.

If it's NOT true, then of course, your conspiracy theory makes sense and it is time to have a revolutioon, too.

Shoukl those politicians that took funds from these 'evil corporations' for their campaigns be equally "swatted"?

Problem being that GS has been a co-conspirator with various and sundry politicians, regulators and Fed officials over the last several decades.

Try digging up the lists of former GS execs and cross-reference it lists of Treasury and Fed officials some time.

So wait a second, using agencies of the Federal Government to push a political agenda is no longer an "Abuse of power"?

What is the FIRST tenant of American law?

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

It appears that has gone by the wayside now.

Barry tells us they are guilty and changes have to be made, yet nobody knows if they are guilty or innocent of breaking any law.

Its not the truth of the charge, its the severity of the accusation.

That has NOTHING to do with 'hating barry.'

I knew Barry was an empty suit just by looking at his record, everyone else it seems is now begining to understand that.
