    Why exactly is Obama the one announcing this. Isn't it up to the company to announce its own bankruptcy.

    The government involvement in what used to be private enterprise is really starting to terrify me.

    Obama wants to be liked again. Obama is the master publicity hound.

    It's so telling that Obama berates the funds for not taking losses, while he bails out Goldman Sachs 100 cents on the dollar through AIG. That's not to mention the generous helping of bailout money they received directly.

    Goldman, evidently, are not required to make any sacrifices. We, the taxpayers are the ones who make sacrifices for them.
