[Hoot Gibson]

Does anybody else see a possible link between the fact that Buffett's company owe hundreds of million of dollars in back taxes and his very high profile support of Obama's tax policies? Does anybody else wonder how much of Buffett's tax bill might have already been negotiated away in a "gentlemen's agreement" between Obama or his underlings and Buffett or his underlings?

Obama has a history of repaying people for their support using funds drawn from the public treasury. (See Solyndra, the UAW, et al.) I doubt that Obama just conveniently plucked Buffett out of the air as his billionaire poster child without good rea$on.
