Ah, Warren Buffet. He was soooo dire about the state of the economy during Bush and then MYSTERIOUSLY changed his tune during Obankster. Well, actually NOT so mysteriously. Were it not for government bailouts, many of his company's holdings would have been completely wiped out. Berkshire Hathaway of which Buffett owns 27 %, has more than $26 billion invested in eight financial companies that have received bailout money.

So as far as I'm concerned Warren Buffetts opinions are worth CACA. He and that other 'economic wizard' Paul Krugman can go fuck each other until their beloved derivatives come home to roost.

I wonder if they were fighting off the urge to French-kiss each other as they spoke?
