http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2010/04/uk-germany-consider-action-against.htmlFrom Reuters: UK's Brown wants investigation into Goldman Sachs (ht jb)

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Sunday he wanted Britain's financial watchdog to investigate U.S. bank Goldman Sachs ...

"I want a special investigation done into the entanglement of Goldman Sachs and the companies there with other banks and what happened," Brown told BBC television.

"There are hundreds of millions of pounds have been traded here and it looks as if people were misled about what happened. I want the Financial Services Authority (FSA) to investigate it immediately," he said.

"I know that the banks themselves will be considering legal action," Brown said, apparently referring to European banks that lost money ...

That would be Goldman Sachs employees, not Goldman Sachs. Just because you work for a place doesn't mean you march lockstep with them in personal donations.

Besides, $1 million was small peas for Obama, who raised $150 million in September 2008 alone.

Thanks to the Supreme Court however, in 2012 it will be Goldman Sachs itself, and it won't be limited to the pithy amounts employees are willing to scrounge up under campaign finance limits.

Nice try, but the only reason that Goldman is going to feel any repercussions over its crimes is because of Obama and his appointment of Mary Schapiro to head the SEC board, which voted along party lines to proceed with a lawsuit against Goldman.

Even a better reason to give it back Tongue  I favor the jihad against Goldman btw.

How much would you give a candidate who was obviously going to lose?
