EITHER WAY, A VOTE FOR GOLDMAN SACHS

Wow! No wonder Obama and McCain urged passage of and voted for the bailout of the Wall Street criminals! They're owned by those vermin.

McCain's top five campaign contributors between 2003 and 2008 were, in order of the greatest amount of bribes to the least: Merrill Lynch ($306,813), Citigroup Inc. ($277,251), Goldman Sachs ($234,345), Morgan Stanley ($234,272) , and AT&T Inc. ($192,557).

Obama's top five campaign contributors between 2003 and 2008 were, again in order of the greatest amount of bribes to the least: Goldman Sachs ($748,880), University of California ($625,911), JPMorgan Chase & Co. ($493,469), Harvard University ($473,669), Citigroup Inc. ($467,849).

But I'm sure they wouldn't let campaign contributors from Wall Street dictate how they vote on the criminal Wall Street bailout, now would they?

Now I understand how it came about that these two were chosen to be the presidential candidates in this election year. A vote for either one is a vote for Goldman Sachs, et. al.

THE era of US global economic dominance is over and the world now needs a new and "more just" financial system, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said today.

"The time of domination by one economy and one currency has been consigned to the past once and for all," Mr Medvedev said in an address to a Russian-German development forum, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at his side.

"We must work together towards building a new and more just financial-economic system in the world based on the principles of multipolarity, supremacy of the law and taking account of mutual interests."
