Warren Buffett an Economic Advisor to Obama – Hmmm

November 8, 2008

Does anyone else find it strange that Barack Obama has tapped Warren Buffet to be one of his top economic advisors? The pundits on TV mentioned Jennifer Granholm’s shoddy record on the economy, but they had nothing but praise for the choice of Warren Buffett.

What short memories we all have. Has anyone asked who profited from the recent financial crisis? Was it the middle class? Nope, we’re feeling the pain. Was it the poor? Absolutely not! They were probably the first ones to lose jobs.

The only one I’ve heard of who profited from the collapse of the financial industry is Warren Buffett. You know, one of those evil, greedy rich guys. He made himself a sweet deal with Goldman Sachs. One guy’s evil rich man is the next guy’s financial advisor.  Did Obama notice that Warren Buffett made a deal that no working class American would ever be able to make? Heck,even your average ‘rich’ person earning $250K a year couldn’t have made that kind of deal!

I know, I know, Warren Buffett is a great philanthropist. Isn’t that something? He gets to choose how he spreads his wealth around, rather than having it snatched from him by the government. What a novel idea!

I have to wonder, will he trot out George Soros next week?

    The investment banks overstepped their limits. As a result they should have had a house cleaning of management, not re-configured into banks. What a joke. Glass-Steagall was a result of the ’29 crash and what do we do this time, make banks even risker. Where did common sense go?
    Buffett is a big government guy, so he fits right in with the socialist. And remember the top of the socialist regime lived pretty well. Summer villas on the Black Sea, world travel, pensions and benefits unknown to the citizens of the U.S.S.R. Yes, socialism makes sense to guys like Buffett, Soros and obama.

    It didn’t take long for Barry to snuggy up with the big money. Not even sworn in yet and you can already see where this is going. We’re already just pesants. Happen to see the report on firearm purchases? One store was reporting 100k a week sales since the voting results.
