Bruce Heyman, a partner at Goldman Sachs and chief of the firm's Private Wealth Management practice, has just been appointed the new United States ambassador to Canada by Barack Obama.

    -Critics have noted that Heyman has no prior diplomatic experience, does not have a university degree in international relations, and in 2008 reportedly identified Toronto as the capital of Canada during a GS shareholders teleconference.

    -However, in his favor, he is reportedly fluent in English. Also, last winter he flew his private jet to Australia for a holiday and Australians are basically just Canadians with suntans.

Reaction to news of the appointment on the CBC ...

From the way way back machine, Matt Taibbi on Goldman Sachs-

Taibbi in 2009 wrote:The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

Don't even get me started on the unholy entity known as Goldman Sachs.


Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, once when confronted with Taibbi's criticisms said these exact words on behalf of all the good he and bankers do for the world-

Blankfein wrote:I'm doing God's Work


So there you have it, Goldman Sachs is just bring some more of God's goodness to the masses. So what's the problem? Heh heh.

Obama, the brave hero who is taking on the elite 1%, has a weak spot for tapping Goldman Sachs
