The Gods of Goldman Sachs
Nobody Knows–
This is Lloyd Blankfein. He is now the head of Goldman Sachs. In his first year as CEO he received a $67 million dollar bonus. So far, its recorded that he has visited the White House ten times. By this video alone, I’d say he practically lives there. Nobody Knows what doormat I’ve been under, but I just discovered today that Jon Corzine, another former Goldman Sachs Chairman, was actually at one time, running Goldman Sachs with Henry Paulson before entering politics. (1998.) Jon had left Goldman Sachs to join MF Global in March 2o1o with a plan to remake it into the next Goldman Sachs. Oh…and Lloyd would be proud…Corzine was once a Senator and Governor of New Jersey, doing as Lloyd would say, “God’s Work.”
Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) –Jon Corzine bet $11.5 billion on European sovereign debt in his bid to rebuild profits at MF Global Holdings Ltd., almost twice the net amount disclosed to investors, and relied on short-term hedges that left the firm exposed to larger losses if they couldn’t be rolled over. The firm’s Oct. 31 bankruptcy filing, the eighth-biggest by a public company in the U.S., led to at least 1,066 workers losing their jobs, disrupted commodities markets and undermined investor confidence in future brokers. The trustee liquidation MF Global’s broker-dealer said more than $1.2 billion in customer money may be missing, and the company is being investigated by regulators and the U.S. Justice Department.
About $200 million of the missing funds have been found at JPMorgan Chase & Co., the New York Times reported, citing people briefed on the matter that it didn’t identify. MF Global had an overdrawn account at New York-based JPMorgan in its final days, the newspaper said. The funds were transferred before its bankruptcy filing, it said. Neither Corzine nor anyone else at MF Global has been accused of any wrongdoing. (Of COURSE not.)
But, here’s the thing: In the recent Vanity Fair (May 2011) article, it’s being reported that Paulson and Corzine did not get along. And I never know what to think when I’m reading Vanity Fair, because it has such a liberal bent. 
What is more important to this Nobody is the question of WHY are all these former heads of Goldman Sachs being picked by our Presidents to run the United States Treasury? I mean…I don’t know much, but aren’t investment bankers more talented at risk-taking and trading stocks?
Don’t we need more of a person that can manage our budget?
Is that why they like to play with the taxpayers money? Are they all dreaming of some big blockbuster “world on stock market” steroids? Are they just using the taxpayers money for their own fun and profit? 
And here’s what bothers me the most: Robert Rubin was a former Goldman Sachs Co-chairman. He became Bill Clinton’s Secretary of the Treasury. When Steve Friedman, the President of Goldman Sachs in the 1990’s, was going to retire, he went to the White House to ask Robert Rubin (who was Secretary Treasury at the time) advise on who should he pick to replace him, and Robert told him to pick Paulson and Corzine— so he did.
Wikipedia:
Robert Rubin and Stephen Friedman assumed the Co-Senior Partnership in 1990 and pledged to focus on globalization of the firm and strengthening the Merger & Acquisition and Trading business lines. During their reign, the firm introduced paperless trading to the New York Stock Exchange and lead-managed the first-ever global debt offering by a U.S. corporation. It also launched the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI) and opened a Beijing office in 1994. It was this same year that Jon Corzine assumed leadership of the firm following the departure of Rubin and Friedman.
This very important story was only reported here in the States as a sidenote. Our media is obsessed with the election.
What we should be paying attention to is, who’s going to be the next Secretary of the Treasury, because I don’t know about you…when you have a Congress that can do insider trading, what better partnership could you possibly have than the x-chairmans of the biggest investment firm in the United States, sitting right on your couch every day?
Lloyd truly believes in going beyond the world of banking, he’s out to be God. Helping global warming, and the babies. I’d like to see the great things he has done, for $67 million dollars–wouldn’t you?
If history repeats itself, Lloyd will have a seat at the White House sooner than we think, and if he’s anything like his predecessors, the little nobodies of the world, are doomed. But the Gods of Goldman Sachs and their political friends, are happy, because they are “doing God’s work.”
The God– whose name rhymes with “Need.”

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.

Asthe stock market continues to slide, look for JP Morgan to be leading the way. Any company that helps people invest obviously won’t last.

Whoops, I missed the pun I only saw I was aiming at, after I had finished. The final line should have ended……
An Ozzey-womanly-arse.

And on the pedestal these words appear:
”My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
We are living in a somewhat ‘Biblical’ era. I have no idea what Global Warmists are doing, thinking that we need doom and gloom inventions and promises to turn back tides and restore the ‘Planet’ to ‘health’, when we have a very present and immanent danger, real and pressing,
Our Western Elite’s collective Ego matches any ancient King of 14 square miles of desert’s. And look what happened to Ozymandiarse.
I have no objection to people being wealthy, even extremely rich, I wish I was. I have no objection to ‘Power’ as long as it is exercised with some nod to a sound humane reason. But the current crop of wealthy, powerful individuals have not grown in the knowledge of Ozymandias so much as in his shadow. They want to raise statues to Big Swinging Dicks. Even the IMF French lady Chief who hasn’t got even a little one.
Meanwhile, the Signal Station at Mount Nelson, just up the road from my tiny home, is celebrating its 200 year anniversary. It was disestablished as a ‘working’ place 60 years ago and thankfully, as it stands 1000 feet above the stunningly beautiful seaways it looks out over, it is not in danger of being buried in sand. The Oz Navy Band in white Uniform was here this afternoon to add a little tunefulness to the firing of the cannon. One sailor girl in particular had a very shapely bum.
