Things were going great and WB was thisclose to fulfilling his lifelong dream of performing an Angry Pirate in the Lincoln bedroom and then boom! Out of nowhere, The Oracle stops hearing from the guy. Jonathan Alter reports:
Warren Buffett, who had been in contact with Obama every week as the economy collapsed in the fall of 2008, found himself mysteriously out of touch with the new president. In late 2009, the billionaire told a friend that he’d not had a single one-on-one meeting with Obama since he became president. They did speak once on the phone. No one knew the reason Obama held him at arm’s length, though it likely had to do with Buffett’s $5 billion investment in Goldman Sachs and his large ownership stake in Moody’s, one of the ratings agencies Obama blamed most for the economic crisis.
As Obama wasn’t man enough to give it to Buffett straight from the get-go, we’re probably never going to get an answer out of him. Still, in an effort to provide some sort of closure to Buffs, so he can finally move on, and maybe one day trust another president again, let’s give it our best guess. Did Obama drop off the face of the earth because of:
a) the Goldman taint
b) the fear he was going to have to make good on the Lincoln bedroom promise, and the realization that the costs associated with wiping that place down once WB was done with it were too great to bear, especially in this economy
c) Things were perfect, he knew he’d met his match, and that terrified Obama, so he fled
d) There was someone else (name: James Dimon)
e) you tell us
Reverse Houdini
BamBam found out Buffett was trying to boomboom Michelle
Turning the White House into a Russ Meyers set woulda looked kinda bad?
D) Buffett told Sasha he had a whole freezer full of popsicles….but they’re in the cellar.
Rumor is BHO left about 50 messages but WB never called him back.
If only WB was a member of the SEIU, he could be at the WH every fucking week.
Am I gay for being turned by that picture?
WB kept calling him Hoke.
@4 too much
@5 fuck you! voicemails are hard.
-wb
@gherkin that did not go unnoticed.
Funny enough, WB wealth/aptitude/productivity is so inconsistent with this president’s agenda (aka socialism and wealth redistribution). When WB and UES folks are writing checks to current democrats they are digging their own grave as they will be the first to be shown that they have no place in the brave new world of proletariat and will end up being “equilized” by the new regime.
@11 ours is a timeless love.
Can’t imagine why…
-A. Hugenberg (ghost)
@12 learn the actual definition of socialism (not the one Fox News taught you) before commenting again you moron.
@12 wow it’s sad how easily manipulated you are…
BO was jealous of BQ (Becky Quick)?
Bess- That is not all that I wrote! @6
What the fuck, now you cut the parts of our posts you may not agree with?
Why because I used O’s middle name?
You think @4 was ok?
WB has old balls? and/or c
taint o’ goldman. it’ll get you every time.
ideological differences (obama is an ass man, WB’s a breast man)
He @12, how long does it take you to come up with that shit?
Also,you should consider scraping the tin foil off your windows, turn off Fox news and selling your gun and porn collections.
@15 I lived for 15 years under socialism/communism before I came to this country, so I actually do know exactly what it looks and smells like without the FOX news. Intead you should probably take a trip to rural China or heck even Greece these days to see what socialism leads to.
@16 I speak from experience – I have seen it all before…
@15-16 I love the FOX NEWS reference to undermine someone’s argument. I guess that means you get your news from GE? I guess that makes you more informed and open minded?
You both are drinking too much of this admin”s Koolaide. Isn’t it time for your protest? Where are you heading on today’s field trip? Who’s house will you trespass on?
Who’s rights will you trample on today to get your tax money, backed, pay raises?
@15 Socialism (n): An economic system in which the production and distribution of goods are controlled substantially by the government rather than by private enterprise, and in which cooperation rather than competition guides economic activity. There are many varieties of socialism. Some socialists tolerate capitalism, as long as the government maintains the dominant influence over the economy; others insist on an abolition of private enterprise. All communists are socialists, but not all socialists are communists.
(American Heritage Dictionary)
We are all better off if he just focuses on what is important like job creation, getting our economy back on track, crafting regulatory reform, and improving the US image abroad rather than having useless advisory meetings with has beens like Barack Hussein Obama.
@26 careful don’t use the anointed one’s middle name Bess will sensor your post.
FUCKING BULLSHIT
Hussein -> memory hole
27 just snuck out of the asylum.
@27 – you’re so sensy when you’re angry.
Is it true that this week’s episode of Trump’s Fabulous World features Dennis Kucinich vs. BHO for $10,000 to their favorite charity?
You said taint
Barrack Hussein Obama, mmmm mmmmm mmmmm!
@Bess/32 I believe the proper term is the “Goldman perineum”
I read somewhere that if you bang WB in the ass, it starts raining skittles. Is this true?
BECKY: Hey Warren, how do you know your boyfriend is gay?
WARREN: I don’t know Becky, how?
BECKY: His dick tastes like shit.
WARREN: Not necessarily.
more sausage stories, please
Who let the likes of Mr. Awesome in here? Seriously man, get a job.
@35 True, but I had to reach around and pull a “lever” to release some
In Bridge Spades > Hearts > Diamonds > Clubs. Buffett likes bridge, loves spades.
Is it true that if you bang Beck Quick in her lazy brown eye that it starts raining Oreo Blizzards?
@40 me too!
Astrid
@ 27, she deleted a post of mine last week
@43 why don’t you cry about it?
JD was willing to take it up the ass?
@32 I have a shot every time she does.
@45 literally AND figuratively.
Mr. Buffett can down his sorrows in LIz Claman’s hotness. Lucky dog.
wb is a wealthy man but is not hood rich so he cant help barry relate to his constituents
@38 That was an inspiring, insightful and well thought out post Eddie. This site is better for having you on it.
Just curious- Why do you think I don’t have a job? Because I post on this site?
You should think your outbursts over before hitting “enter” as YOU post on this site…
Now get my dry cleaning and pull the car around or I will take away your computer privileges.
WB should be used to this. The Dems trot him out before every election to say “investor believe in us” then throw him in the corner as soon as they get elected as they proceed to trample everything he believes in. He has always seemed to be fine with it. The bigger question is why is he different this time?
FACT: anyone who is critical of Wall St is a socialist.
@52 IT trying to make it to the front office
Dear wingnuts,
There are about 4 types of socialism. Stalin was a socialist. Saddam was a socialist. Ghandi, Nelson Mandella, and the Dali Lama were socialists.
Obama falls under none of these categories.
Know your politics, you ignorant morons.
http://garrowolf.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/politicalcompass.png
-guy with an undergrad degree in politics
bro, the DALAI Lama is still alive…
@53 keep telling yourself that.
@52 appreciate the sarcasm, though sadly it’s lost on people like shortbus
Just because I didn’t conjugate doesn’t mean I don’t care. Save the whales. Free Kareem Abu-Jamal. God bless our childs.
54 = the voice of reason
@Mr Awesome you are a complete fucking idiot with nothing witty or intelligent to say. Pull your penis out of Glen Beck’s ass, take your tongue out of Rush’s mouth, and shut the fuck up.
Saddam, a socialist? Really, Really, was he?
Ahhh its our butt buddy from San Francisco…what a treat to have you here this afternoon.
To what do we owe the pleasure?
Are you bored protesting the State of Arizona and their immigration law?
Did Newsom just install a T-Mobile hot spot in the bathhouse and now you and Pelosi can finally have that “who’s the bigger man” contest while you type on DB?
Either way its damn nice to hear from you… You are truly one of my favorites.
Mr. Awesome = Anal_yst = Michelle Obama
@54 undergrad degrees from University of Phoenix don’t count.
The definition provided by @25 was from quite a reliable source. Not Glen Beck, not FOX NEWS. Just read it or in your case have it read to you.
I think one can simply see the commonalities between the definition of the term “Socialist” and our Anointed One.
@9/18 it’s a Family Guy reference, chill.
@62 i think you’re on to something
I was waiting for vindication and finally it came in the form of a Canadian Banker.
If Canadians don’t agree with you, you must be right.
@61
a) I believe Bess Levin busted you a couple weeks ago for working at Ameriprise Financial. Ya stfu and sit down. I could give you my phone book for some cold call leads pal but I’m not in the business of giving charities to those who don’t contribute.
b) It’s my thing to be flattered by douche bags so don’t act like you are intelligent or interesting enough to think my disgust for you is in jest.
c) The people who think San Francisco is completely gay/hippies are usually the closeted homosexuals that enjoy getting horse whipped with a ball gag while a priest beats the shit out of them.
I prefer B) because the visual is the best….classic Bess
@66 HAHAH I remember that, Mr Awesome got his IP tracked by Bess for posting weird shit again and she found out he worked at some rural Ameriprise Financial brokerage.
@68 who the fuck cares about either of em?
Sorry, but I have never pulled up an IP address for someone from there. Proceed.
OT, do you not work in pwm as well?
Really Ameriprise? Wow that is interesting. I will have to check with the boys in IT (now don’t get excited OT) I mean that figuratively.
Given your previous posts, mostly about nothing. I will say you actually are in the habit of giving charity to those who do not contribute. Thus your messages about pay raises to the unions and your love of redistribution of wealth. Isn’t that is how we became so close?
You spoke about many sexual situations in your post and did so with very vivid and I must say detailed descriptions. I don’t think I am off base with my perception of you. Not SF, but you given your incessant love of “ball gags”, hippies and “horse whips”. After all, you are the one that brought them up.
So… yeah, good luck with all that.
Yippee Ki yay mother fucker
“Option Trader the tub is getting too warm will you please turn on the cold water…”
“Anon can you bend over and get that bar of soap?”

@71 a subsidiary trading arm of Citadel. But pwm sounds close.
mr awesome, you troll like shit
Oh wait its a full house.
It is non other then ExtraPDelusional guy, our in house Obama fluffier. Welcome to the program my friend. What delusions are you cooking up this evening? I am sure we are all very interested in your commentary.
is that located in “the castro”?
@77 Your mom’s house. I place my naked iron condor option on her spread. Sell her to some Russian investors, she sucks.
No, it’s
Greg = anal_yst = mr awesome = shortstory = Shia = a drunk EP
you’re in your 20′s and still making your mom jokes?
Mr Awesome
When is your St John’s reunion? Creep
@79 It’s a Bingo!
almost forgot the final step
= genital wart of pre-op ayn rand
@80 dude, I’m in my mid thirties, married, gainfully employed at a hedge fund and I’ve definitely used the mom joke in recent memory. It’s a classic. Lighten up.
OT, have you been learning about condors the last two weeks? knowledge of one type of option strategy isnt impressive, i know it makes the briefs in sf drop but not in ny
What the hell is an Ameriprise?
The only thing I have learned this last couple of weeks is that by fucking a girl doggy style really deep it will hit her cervix in pain and make her vagina tighten.
@60 it’s more fun for me to pretend you’re serious so I can say, yes, numnut, ba’ath is a socialist party
@88 nice
@87 *wince* do your and your wife never have sex or somehing? I thought that was common knowledge
@90 married people never have sex
@91 True dat. That’s why I will wait until the big 35 until I throw in the towel.
money lasts longer than sex and marriages
@91. I know. That was just the polite way of asking why he didn’t learn this important fact by age 21. The drinks i’ve put back between post 60 and 91 have made me a sentimental sap. I haven’t gotten to the belligerant stage yet.
@94 there is always times square
@93 What are you drinking? I have a glass of Tequila and a P&L loss of $85K today.
@93 please tell, im down 56K with a jemson & red bull
Are all 3 of you guys in the bathhouse right now jerking each other off to pictures of Van Jones and Pelosi?
You are all such awe inspiring masters of hedge funds and WS. Tell us again OT of your financial prowess. The more you say it the more we believe it. I especially loved the post by about you fucking your wife doggy style until her cervix hurts.
Yeah, ok. Now we all think you are heterosexual. Men don’t have a cervix you shitbag and in your case its not doggy style it would just be gay sex.
I will say you are right about one thing. I mean how can anyone watch Fox News when we can learn everything we need right here from the SF hedge fund reach around, analyst and his 2 nut sucking buddies. You guys are disturbing, ill informed morons.
I am actually pro choice but you are a strong argument for the other side.
Maybe you guys should turn off your special edition DVD of MILK and watch a little Beck. Who knows, maybe you will learn something.
@98 FINALLY you post some quality shit. Well done. You are still a fucking douche bag, but well done.
I usually agree with you on the socialism stuff, but seriously stfu about glen beck, fox news, ge… get some new material
i do not think i have ever agreed with either OT or ExtraordinaryPopularDelusions on anything serious so im not sure where you are coming from on this one
@96. I’m neutral on the day but my Doctor-Prescribed amphetamines ran out 2 days ago so I’m hitting the Red Bull and vodka pretty diligently.
Honestly, I could use a mouthful of mushrooms but that takes about 36 hours to do properly and I haven’t had time for that in many years.
Honestly, there are times I wish I was gay. It would be nice at times to be able to fuck anything that moves.
have you approached kouwe about this?
@100 i was only responding to the posts about Fox News. I am never the guy bringing it up, those posts piss me off so I always respond to them. Sorry if I lumped you in with a dangerous crowd.
As for OT and I, we do agree on something.. my post was damn good. I appreciate your being a gentleman so and will leave things as they are tonight. Adieu!
As for Delusions- The idea of being gay means you fuck ONLY men. Not “everything in site” JUST THE MEN. I am not sure where this sudden news leaves you tonight. Maybe a bit confused?
I considered it but I doubt he douches enough for my tastes.
But, speaking of socialism and douching: Ghandi. Now there was a real homosexuals homosexual. Between his daily enema and the fact that it’d be cow style instead of doggie style, you’d hit John Holmes status in a millisecond. Tie a bell around his neck and make him lactate and you’d hit instant divinity.
-guy who sometimes just says shit because everyone else is a pussy and won’t say it
@104. I was referring to the well known fact that gay men have tons of sex and lesbians have little, compared to straight couples, due to the whole evolution/biological disposition thing, numbnut.
Buffett has lost his way
This rant outcommented even a number of comments about Mandy to become numero uno on most commented list – I am impressed. Unfortunately it seems little civilized discourse is feasible here in a company of drunks.

*chi-irp?*
Not quite.
And how the fuck did I get logged in as this homo?
Maybe Barry won’t see me but Becky Squicky will sit on my lap anytime I ask. I’m thinking about Carl now, I bet he will sit on my lap too. Is it wrong ?
The details of my life are quite inconsequential… very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum… it’s breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.
@7 it’s the black socks
sounds like somepeople have a case of the mondays……who let the asylum out today?
Bess-
I recommend banning OptionsTrader and ShortStory. I know it’s not an an easy decision. Early in an online business you want to maximize unique users, but in the long run advertisers will want demos on your users to determine ad spend. Clowns like them complaining about 85k and 54k losses won’t bring dollars in the end. Plus it will be a cost save freeing the your server utilization of their BS.
@116 agree that they should be banned but you clearly don’t work in online ad sales, based on this comment:
“in the long run advertisers will want demos on your users to determine ad spend.”
they ask for those from the beginning, in addition to traffic stats. and they don’t get their demos by reading the comments section. why do you think DB every so often asks readers to complete a user survey that have questions such as what’s your annual income, etc? yeah.
I am aware. Thanks for your comedic input.
117 is correct. as for the suggestion by 116, “awesome” and “optionstrader,” your comments on this thread were among the most idiotic, obnoxious, mind-numbingly stupid I’ve ever seen. Most importantly they lacked any entertainment value whatsoever, in addition to the fact that they were completely off topic (you want to go OT, you better at least be funny). shape up or you’re getting banned. this is not up for discussion so rebuttals are not necessary nor welcome.
