Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - Has Barack Obama Already Been Compromised?

I wanted to go with Obama, but my hopes for him were dashed for good when
he supported the bailout. The monetary system and his position on it has been the most undeniable bellweather for me. Goldman Sachs, the firm that our treasury secretary headed when they invented the risky financial instruments that are now in failure, was the second biggest single contributor to Obama's campaign. Either he's been compromised or he doesn't get the trouble we're in. Either way, we lose. It's sad because I really would have loved the election of an African American mean something beyond just that.
