Obama Doesn't Intend to Give Back Goldman Campaign DonationsThe BusinessWeek link above does pose a very interesting question that perhaps should be enlarged to include any politicians that have any oversight or regulatory authority over Wall Street and other banks.

* Should campaign contributions made by Goldman Sachs or any of their employees be returned to them?
Why? I say tough luck if they tried to bribe a Rep and it didn't work out.
* Should any candidate that received campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs or any of their employees return that money?
Same as above.
* Should any current candidate not accept any campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs or any of their employees?
They shouldn't be accepting any contributions that are not from individuals. Without campaign finance reform, we are doomed to be continually corrupted by the process.
Nay. Doing it now is ridiculous, doesn't change anything and would be solely a populist move (with a possibility of moar taxpayer money wasted *snerk*). What's done is done and those politicians should own it.
But not accepting NEW donations from them would be a step in the right direction.
No give back.
But here's a message to the SEC..now you've heard it from the horses mouth...so you better back off.

Goldman Director Gave Tip on Buffett Deal, WSJ Says
April 23 (Bloomberg) -- A Goldman Sachs Group Inc. director tipped off a hedge fund billionaire about a $5 billion investment in the bank by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. before it became public knowledge, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Goldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta told Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam about the Berkshire investment, the newspaper quoted the source as saying. Federal investigators wrote to Gupta to say they had intercepted phone calls between Gupta and Rajaratnam, the report quoted the source as saying.

Goldman Sachs Eats Its Young
by Keith Johnson
This is also an opportunity for the SEC to come out looking tough after their disgraceful conduct in the Bernie Madoff affair. Taking on Goldman Sachs will be a great boost to their image. But that could only happen under unusual circumstances like these. Right now, Goldman Sachs actually wants to be made to look like they’re no different from anybody else. They need to convince the American people that they are just as vulnerable and subject to public scrutiny as any other legitimate business. In other words, Goldman Sachs has given the SEC permission to take them on. Otherwise, the SEC would be just as ineffective and bias as they have always been.
The SEC is actually a public relations device for the FED. They go after the little guys to look like they’re doing something while turning a blind eye to the big investment firms that their agents hope to someday work for.
