Goldman Sachs
From Wikiality
Goldman Sachs is a patriotic American business with a strong tradition of investing in other patriotic American businesses, especially when those American businesses are large multinational corporations.
Goldman Sachs is also well known for serving as one of the Minor League franchise teams of The Greatest Administration Ever.

[edit] Bushie Leaguers Move Up
To make the move up from the Sachs to serving at the pleasure of the President, one must have demonstrated the skills America has come to expect in her leaders: unflinching loyalty, the ability to follow blindly, and a willingness to take a huge paycut on paper in exchange for a lifetime of "perks." Some of the few, proud, members of the Bush Team to meet these criteria have included:
- Robert Zoellick, newly appointed head of the World Bank
- Joshua Bolten, White House Chief of Staff
- Hank Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury
- Robert Steel, Advisor for Domestic Finance at the Treasury Department
- Randall Fort, Assistant Secretary of State
... and many more! While Goldman Sachs no doubt finds it difficult to lose so many of its top players (including positions from rising stars all the way up to former CEO Paulson) to the Bush Administration, they are always good sports. "We may not personally benefit," Goldman Sachs believes,"but as long as America wins, how can we lose?"
But we at Wikiality.com suspect that Goldman Sachs' patriotic loyalty will be rewarded with loyalty in kind, and that they may be surprised and pleased to see some of their old employees return through those revolving doors one day to pay them a visit!
[edit] Other Sachsers Who've Served
Goldman Sachs has also contributed fine upstanding Americans formerly in its employ to other posts within America's government, including all three of its CEOs preceding Paulson. Amongst these luminaries, you can find
- Jon Corzine, former Senator and current Governor of New Jersey
- Robert Rubin, former Secretary of the Treasury under You-Know-Who
- Stephen Friedman, Chairman of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB)
[edit] Most Luminous of Luminaries
Perhaps the most notable of all Goldman Sachs alumni is "Mad Money's" own Jim Cramer.
