Well it appears that I get the pleasure of having the first content post so on with this dog and pony show. As many know it has been reported that Sen. Obama had become mixed up in a land deal where he was the neighbor with one of his campaign backers and sold him a small parcel of his property. The deal was legit however it also appeared to be an ethical hiccup.
Moving on today there is a piece in the NYT that states that prior to Obama’s election to senate he was involved in an investment group with some of his High level donors. While he was in this investment group he promoted legislation that would seem to benefit the companies the group invested in. However Baracks part in this group was as a blind investor with the investment facilitated by his broker. It appears as soon as Sen. Obama learned of the conflict of interest involved in these particular investments he pulled his investments at a cost to himself of ~$13000. It is my opinion based on the Blind investor strategy and the negative investment return that is was a legitimate mistake on the part of the Senator with no malice or personal gain through illicit means meant. I hope this post was useful.
