Get with the program folks, I mean how do they (the media) get away with this crap? I can't believe that the people on the left don't question their brutal non informational lack of reporting when bloggers consistently beat them to seeing and reporting the real picture.
SO Just today the NY Times and MSNBC decide to throw this little nugget out on their websites to play CYA, just in case all this "Obama love train" goes bad and wildly off the tracks (which it now has), and they have to answer "where the hell were they" when we all know damn well they've taken up residence in Obama's backside over a year ago?
now today the Slimes and MSNBsleaze wake up and smell the dead corpse......
NYT: Obama advisers' bank ties raise questions -
The New York Times- msnbc.com: "WASHINGTON - Senior executives at Citigroup’s Alternative Investment division ran up hundreds of millions of dollars in losses last year on their esoteric collection of investments, including real estate funds and private highway construction projects, even as they collected seven-figure salaries and bonuses.
Now the Obama administration has turned to that Citigroup division — twice — for high-level advisers.
Jacob J. Lew, who served until late last year as the chief financial officer of Citigroup Alternative Investments, has been named deputy secretary of state, the department’s No. 2 position."Michael Froman, another former chief financial officer at the Citigroup division, has joined the White House staff as deputy assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs.Both Mr. Lew and Mr. Froman are well respected in Washington for their extensive government experience, which includes work in the Clinton administration on budget matters, in Congress and on international financial affairs.
But their shift to the Obama administration from Citigroup has raised questions about the potential for conflicts of interest, and about whether Mr. Obama’s own staff members benefited from the kinds of Wall Street excesses he has criticized.
“You sort of have to wonder why it is so smart to put them in charge now, if they helped create the mess that we are in,” said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “They wouldn’t strike me as the natural choice.” continued
