Obama Nominee Tied To Genocidal Sudanese Regime Financing

Public Accountability Initiative:

On Sunday I blogged about the key role of Bob Hormats, Obama's recent nominee for undersecretary of state, in the stock offering of PetroChina, a company linked to Sudan's genocidal regime.

Hormats Goldman Sachs connection has been criticized elsewhere, but his Sudan ties deserve more scrutiny.

Of course, what do you expect from GS?

It's likely every single executive from GS has blood on their hands.

Yes, his appointee for UNDERSecretary of State owns a few shares in a company connected to the issues in Sudan. Yeah, I think that it is a bit of a stretch to start going after The President.

Duh. Like we don't know all the bankers are the bad guys. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

uggggh. This is only getting worser everyday. This is as bad as him trying to make John Brennan 'thetorturer' the head of the C I A , and when we threw a fit, he appointed him to a deputy position requiring no senate confirmation. The 'politics of the past' are alive and well, and the people lose.....,

Actually Obama did make Gen McChrystal , Cheneys right hand guy on the assasination squad and head of the torture brigade in Iraq head of the Afghanistan occupation.

Its difficult to find an outrageous metaphor in this administartion that is not actually the truth.

Welcome to the corruptocracy!
pay your tax money directly to Goldman Sachs

the only rationale can be "if you want to keep your car from being stolen; ask a car thief how to protect it."

explain to me why Mr. Obama picked this guy knowing that the name Goldman Sachs is a tainted kiss of death. I'm "dismayed" at some of Mr. Obama's choices.

Goldman Sachs has hired him to ensure they get full access to the treasury - he is just doing his job

Sometimes they break the stories. Are you saying it is untrue? Our media is controlled. You should not trust even the Washington Post and the NY Times given their recent history.
