Goldman Sachs switches support to Romney
Tuesday, October 9, 2012 - 11:22 RICHARD A. BROOKS/AFP/Getty Images Goldman Sachs has long supported Democrats in the presidential contest. But not this year. Why Goldman and other Wall Street banks are throwing their support behind Mitt Romney. Goldman Sachs has long supported Democrats in the presidential contest. Goldman employees gave generously to then-Senator Barack Obama in 2008. But not this time. Goldman, along with the majority of people who work at big Wall Street banks, are backing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney instead. One big reason? Dodd-Frank. Banks initially opposed the federal government's 2010 regulation of the financial sector. Perhaps even more significant, however, was the sense that Goldman and other highly influential institutions suddenly seemed a little less influential in Washington. Accustomed to members of Congressional Financial Services committees coming in for office visits, and frequent telephone communication, under Obama's White House, communciation ...

Debate Night: It's the economy, smarty-pants
Monday, October 1, 2012 - 12:43 Mark Wilson/Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney speak at different campaign events in this photo illlustration. Aside from the possibility of more hidden videos that we don't know about, or foreign shocks (financial or military) that we have no control over, political observers say there are only a few moments between now and November that could change the trajectory of the presidential race. This week, two such events will occur within 36 hours of one another -- the first presidential debate in Denver on October 3, and the monthly jobs report release on October 5. Together, they could represent Republican Mitt Romney?'s best chance to get his message about the economy across to American voters. LIVE COVERAGE OF THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: Join us on Marketplace.org on Wednesday, Oct. 3 for live streaming video of the presidential debate with real-time analysis from Kai Ryssdal, Mitchell Hartmann, ...

Ad hits Obama on child soliders
Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 09:21 YouTube/Screenshot The conservative nonprofit Let Freedom Ring attacks Obama for allowing countries that use child soldiers to receive American military aid. Conservative nonprofit Let Freedom Ring attempts to link President Barack Obama to child soldiers in a new ad focusing on the United States’ military aid to certain countries in Africa and the Middle East. The ad opens with brief background on child soldiers and notes that Sen. Obama supported a bill that restricted American aid to countries that use child soldiers in militaries and state-backed militias. “This was the right thing to do. It’s what leaders do,” the narrator says. “But then, as president, Obama waived these restrictions, allowing millions of our taxpayer dollars to go to countries where children as young as 11 — 11! — are forced to fight.” “Why, Mr. President? Why?” the ad finishes. In 2011, Obama waived restrictions on military aid to countries that the ...
