Major Obama and Dem Donor Rajat Gupta Convicted of Insider Trading

So we got Obama mentor Antoin Rezko in the slam for perfidious misdeeds, we got his ghostwriter ("Dreams From My Father") Bill Ayers, in whose home Obama kicked off his political career, who should also be in the slam for terrorist activities and now we got major donor Rajat Gupta now standing
convicted of insider trading.
Here's a list of Gupta's donations to Obama:
http://www.newsmeat.com/...upta&first=Rajat
Looks like ol' Gupta gave some loving to one 'Pub, Larry Pressler, back in 2002 when Pressler was attempting a political comeback that was for naught. In 2008, Pressler also revealed that he cast an absentee ballot for Barack Obama. Wonder what he thinks of that ballot now, eh? On the plus side, Pressler's also the only member of Congress whose name was mentioned in connection with the famous ABSCAM investigation in 1980 to have flatly refused a bribe from undercover FBI agents posing as Arab influence buyers and then to have also reported the bribe attempt to the FBI.
As to Obama and his own crony capitalistic influence peddling attempts at grabbing some of the baksheesh: Well, as the porcine Ed Schultz of PMSNBC said of Scott Walker, on the night of Walker's defeat of Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett in the recall election just held in Wisconsin; it's likely that Obama "could be indicted in the next few days." ;-)

Because you are flooding the entire front page.
This is not your personal campaign site. At least balance it by posting something interesting once and awhile.

Bull pucky, hoss. I got one OP on the front page today. And from what I can see, maybe two current responses to other posters' posts. Y'all just don't like that the righties here seem to have some sort of cohesion going on lately, preventing this from becoming the lefty echo chamber it normally is. All your posts are belong to us!! ;-)

I've said it before, the guy is his own worst enemy. I'm not sure which side he is actually trying to sabotage, because the nutbaggery really turns people off.

Right. You've lost it (if you ever had it).
If it was actually possible, you and YaHey would be the sole two users on my ignore list. Hell, even YaHey posts shit that's so ridiculous you know he's some sort of satire-bot and it's a little funny. You just come here and pass along the daily RNC email blast. Like I said, it's not your personal campaign forum.

Ouch. Thats some serious Obama bashing. You must really be angered by insider trading.

i think i'm honestly more interested in describing him as former head of mckinsey than as an 'obama donor.' biggest consultancy in the world, and by all accounts a powerful and shady company with fingers in many pies. i'd be very curious to peek through his inbox - if he was crooked, who else is implicated?

It's called a circle jerk, but I am sure you already know that.

I haven't been here long... but I know NOT to post anti-Obama musings on Friday or over the weekend. But I guess that "news" needs to be timely and your story is news to 60% of the voting public.

Probably, though you seem to have a bit of familiarity with the circle jerk thingy as well. Still, you bit on some more lib pogey bait yet again. What is it with you folks? Poor impulse control? Can't keep it in ya's pants? What?
