Does the "bond" between Obama and George Soros?

disturb you as much as it disturbs me? Our budget is outrageous enough without Pres. B.O. "paying back" one of his "followers". What next?

"Gov Palin Called It: Obama Loans $10 billion & Soros Invests $811 Million In Petrobas

Thursday, August 20, 2009 On Wednesday, August 19, 2009 Governor Palin commented on Obama Sending Billions Overseas To Appease Environmentalists and she apparently saw that something was fishy. She questioned why the US is investing even $1 overseas for energy when we have the need at home. Well now we know! Obama & cronies have guaranteed $10 billion in loans to Pertrobas but what is more disturbing is socialist Soros invested $811 million in the same company. He must have an inside source?

Bloomberg reported Obama Financier George Soros bought a $811 million stake in Petrobas Brazil SA, making the Brazilian state-controlled oil company his investment fund's largest holding. As of June 30, the stake in Petrobras, as the Rio de Janeiro-based oil producer is known, made up 22% of the $3.68 billion of stocks and American depositary receipts held by Soros Fund Management LLC, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Petrobras has since slumped 28%.

Oddly enough, Oil Online reported Pertobas has secured a loan of 10 billion in US tax dollars from Obama:

The U.S. government is prepared to provide up to $10 billion in loans to finance the development of massive hydrocarbon reserves off Brazil’s coast, a Brazilian official said Wednesday.

Obama’s national security adviser, Gen. James Jones, discussed the matter with officials this week during a visit to the South American country, Brazilian Planning Minister Paulo Bernardo da Silva told reporters. He said the U.S. Export-Import Bank already has signed a letter of intent in that regard with Brazilian state oil company Petrobras.

Coincidence or dirty politics? It looks like Obama is once again paying back his friends. I hope everyone likes the “Change.” God help us all!"

    I do not pretend to know how to answer your question other than it has been felt that Soros is a crook. When one checks him out on the Internet you find "interesting" things about him.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Soros

    One is that he was convicted of insider trading. Another is that he funds and supports a society:

    [edit] Death and dying

    The Project on Death in America, active from 2001-2003, was one of the Open Society Institute's projects, which sought to "understand and transform the culture and experience of dying and bereavement."[43] In 1994, Soros delivered a speech in which he reported that he had offered to help his mother, a member of the Hemlock Society, commit suicide.[44] In the same speech, he also endorsed the Oregon Death with Dignity Act,[45] the campaign for which he helped fund.[46]

    This is one of the most disturbing things I have found out about him. I fear Obama's health care plan and though he denies time and time again the idea of "death panels", here I see one of his "cohorts", Soros, being very active in a group that endorses suicide. Trying to change the culture and experience of dying is worrisome to me. When someone has that kind of money and power and they are directly affiliated with a president who is trying to promote socialized medicine and they have strong wishes and favors are "owed", it's downright scary.

    The sooner Obama leaves office the better off we Americans will be. His ties to shady people are always there and hidden, yet little things come to the surface all the time. I wonder what else there is that we all do not know?

    I many times do no longer look after Soros, in any respect, yet he did make a sturdy component in that article that in truth we are nationalizing the banks expenses and getting no longer something for it in return. A financial organisation has been nationalized under this financial disaster, IndyMac. Bush did it. Obama inherited that determination, basic it took 8 months to repair that financial organisation and that's now returned under inner maximum administration. i do no longer merchandise to nationalizing the banks whether it is momentary and follows that style. I merchandise to everlasting nationalization one hundred%. this does not blow a hollow contained in the thought Soros holds sway over Obama, it merely highlights one occasion the place they disagree. Soros had no longer something yet compliment for Obama's stimulus, wellbeing care, and tax plans. Soros is wealthy and a considerable financier of the pro-Obama flow.

    How can the Democrats rail against and vilify the Rich when they are in bed with them ? Why do they rake CEO's over the coals for flying in private jets then turn around and ask for 1/2 billion dollars to buy their own?

    Now you know that the Liberals are going to come back and say that it isn't "government" money that is being used. At least that's what the liberal media is telling them.

    One thing most liberals tend to forget though, as they have very strong "forgetters", is that our tax dollars do OWN the banks right now, so it is OUR money being used.

    George Soros is the money machine behind the Democratic Party. It's been that way for years.
