Snippet from the Goldman Sachs hearing …

Amid the blah-blah-blah. one question caught my attention:

Sen. Levin: “Which do you put first, the interests of your customers or the interests of your firm ?”

The GS guy stammered and gave a non-answer.

I wish he had answered either:

(a)  “Obviously, the interests of our customers because they are our business — so serving their interests is in the best interest of our firm.”

… or better yet, wish he had answered the question with a question …

(b) “Senator, when you vote, which do you put first, the interests of your constituents (the majority of whom are and were opposed to ObamaCare), or the interests of your party and President Obama ?”

The guy would have been charged with contempt of Congress, but it would have made for great theater …
