Obama Bought Google Keywords for Goldman Sachs SEC
ByIt looks like someone at the White House or OFA used some of that money donated by Goldman Sachs to buy the keywords “Goldman Sachs” “SEC” so Google would steer searchers to their website. How Orwellian!
The New York Post: Internet surfers who entered “Goldman Sachs SEC” into Google were directed to the president’s campaign Web site via a sponsored link titled “Help Change Wall Street.”
The White House’s political arm paid for the keywords — but would not say how much.
The tactic provided the latest evidence of how Obama and the Democratic National Committee are using the Securities and Exchange Commission’s bombshell fraud suit against the financial giant to push financial-reform legislation through Congress.
But showing it, too, was gearing up for a political fight, Goldman Sachs hired Obama’s former White House counsel, Gregory Craig, Politico reported last night.
Meanwhile, Democratic former Gov. Eliot Spitzer, speculated yesterday that there was “no coincidence” to the timing of the SEC suit.
And Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) wrote in a letter sent to the SEC, “It must be nice for Democrats that the SEC’s filing against Goldman Sachs so conveniently fits into their political agenda.”
The White House denied any link between the legislative push and the regulator’s charges.
No link between the two! What a joke! You can’t tell me Eliot Spitzer’s some sort of right wing demagogue.
Rush Limbaugh picked up on this earlier today, via Hot Air Pundit.
