[Dripping Rain]

Shocking!
NOT
its nice to see this Welfare Queen exposing himself finally for all to see. I think his friends are really worried because all of Buffetts money is nothing but a drop in a bucket and even if all members of the Billionaire Corporate Welfare Queens put all their wealth together -which they wont ever do- cant save the sinking ship.

here's Kudlow talking about it, he calls Bernanke "Bernank", like in the quantitative easing video...

Its news that Warren Buffett is a corporatist shitheel? Fuck him and fuck the other parasites. I swear to God, I wanna vomit whenever assholes hold up people like Buffett as supposedly "Free Market" thinkers.

 

[RforRevolution]

Complete arrogance, he invested $5 Billion dollars in Goldman Sachs right before the bailout occurred. By saying thank you to Paulson and Bernanke he's basically admitting that he made a ton of money on the backs of taxpayers with the help of government.

Noone disputes that the government bailed out the rich and investment banks -- by diluting the value of baby boomer retirement funds, and the wages in every working person's pay check.

Awww...Obama just gave Buffet (and GHW Bush) the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

How sweet that he's returning a favor so quickly.

America's #1 Insider Trader... Warren Buffet

Washington DC is there to protect their ELITISTS MASTERS

 

[sluggo]

CNBC loves to deify Buffet. Maybe it's because they both profit from keeping the banker welfare state alive.

 

[rprprs]

This rebuttal leaves Buffet and the government off far too easy, but at least it's headed in the right direction.

its so nice of Mr. Buffet to give away so much of OUR money to charity isnt it?

Him and that geek Bill Gates make me sick. "Good deeds" are done quietly. You dont go around the media bragging about how you organized a "giving" pledge for billionaires.

Self serving publicity stunt.

I hope Buffet gets polio too.

 

[Chibioz]

So the question is how many families will now be having Thanksgiving at McDonald's because the government enabled the privileged Warren Buffett to prosper through the depression?

 

[rprprs]

I hope Buffet gets polio too.

NO!

I hope he sees the error of his ways. I hope his philosophy is totally repudiated. I would even hope he goes bankrupt. But I do not wish this, and none of us should.

 

[Travlyr]

Putting the economic meltdown off a couple of years didn't really help the people. It may have given the IMF a couple of more years to get the "Bancor" printing press built, but the downside to that is now the people know that the heart of the problem is "creating money out-of-thin-air counterfeiting."

Instead of having Thanksgiving dinner at McDonald's this year, he would rather stand in a soup line for Thanksgiving next year? I thought billionaires were smart, but NO ... they are just crooks.

 

[Thrashertm]

Buffet personally received $7 billion in bailout funds.

the ben bernank does not appreciate your disrespect

 

[Anti Federalist]

What a country and what a time to live in.

Any other place and time, and this piece of shit would have been hung from the nearest tree.

Then the unbridled arrogance to just rub it right in your face:

"Yeah, you all work for me, and don't you forget it either!"

Gotta love America eh
