And The Hits Just Keep On Coming

From the NY Times:

Goldman Executive Named as Obama Adviser

President Obama said Friday he would nominate Robert Hormats, a vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International, to a top economic position at the State Department. Mr. Hormats, 66, will be under secretary of state for economic, energy and agricultural affairs. He was deputy trade representative from 1979 through 1981 and held other posts at the State Department throughout his career. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the secretary of state, said in a speech on Wednesday that she hoped to make economic policy and trade a larger part of United States diplomacy.



I don't think it's physically possible for my eyes to roll back any further in my head than they do when I read about how much sex so many of our elected officials, namely the Big Guy: El Presidente, are having with Goldman Sachs.

Guess it's important to know on which side your bread is buttered.
