Did you see the announcement that Goldman Sachs is giving a half billion dollars to small businesses. In the history of Goldman Sachs they have never made a donation to small business. Why the sudden interest? Could it be because if you do favors for Obama you wind up with government contracts…or perhaps avoid prosecution for any alleged crimes or fraud committed in the sub-prime mortgage scandal?
In any case, Goldman Sachs’ announcement was certainly less than honest in its wording. The reality (beneath the headline) is that Goldman Sachs is only concerned with one tiny segment of small business — MINORITY-OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES. More specifically — minority businesses located in minority neighborhoods. Even more specifically, Goldman’s loans to minority businesses located in minority neighborhoods will only be disbursed through “community organizations.” Organizations that I’m willing to bet are run by contributors to Obama’s campaigns. Just a guess on my part. Anyone wanna bet?
Was Goldman forced to play the “race card” by Obama? Was Goldman intimidated by the threat of possible legal prosecution by the SEC or Obama’s Justice Department? Will a half billion dollar (legal) payoff to FOO (Friends of Obama) make the whole mess go away? Even better, will more government contracts, loans and stimulus now head Goldman’s way? Is this how deals are cut in D.C? Is this another example of "reverse" racism? Hmmmmmmm.
