Cha-ching!
Warren Buffett’s stake in Bank of America Corp. increased in value by $154 million after President Obama and the U.S. Justice Department announced a $25 billion foreclosure abuse settlement with the five largest U.S. banks Thursday, records show.
Buffett invested $5 billion [1] in Bank of America (BofA) on Aug. 25, 2011. As part of his investment deal, Buffett gained warrants that allow him to buy 700 million shares of Bank of America stock at a strike price of $7.14 a share. However, on Dec. 19, 2011, it was reported [2] that Buffett was $1.5 billion underwater on his stock warrants, with shares of BofA stock trading at $4.94. But on Thursday, after President Obama personally announced [3] the details of the settlement, BofA stock closed [4] at $8.13 a share. The stock opened [4] Friday morning at $8.31 and reached as high as $8.35 a share.
If Buffett had exercised his warrants Friday morning, he would have made $847 million. $154 million of that profit would have been related to the foreclosure deal.
This is not the first time Buffett has profited from Obama administration policies. In November 2011, it was reported [5] that President Obama’s two-year postponement of the deadline to determine the future of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline would force North Dakota oil producers to rely more heavily on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. holding company purchased [6] the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Corp. in a total package worth $44 billion in 2009.
Buffett has personally contributed $5,000 to Obama this election cycle, while Berkshire Hathaway has contributed $30,800 [7] to the Democratic National Committee.
This summer, Obama will accept [8] the Democratic Party’s 2012 presidential nomination with a speech at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.

[ In Reply To ..]If that's the light bulb that went on in your head, then it's a dim one.
(No, your attempt at sarcasm was not lost on me.)

All members of the Navajo Nation must be at least one-quarter Navajo in order to be enrolled members of the tribe. Similarly, the S ...
Elizabeth Warren Introduces Bill To Prevent EmployersDec 18, 2013
I can't for the life of me understand why this was ever legal in the first place. If you have bad credit, you really need a job, right? No brainer. Also, what business is it of your employer's if you have a bad credit rating and why would it make any difference to what kind of job you do? Craziness and another example of stuff that happened when Bush was in office. Witness the drug companies benevolently deciding they will not pay doctors to push their drugs anymore.

Way To Go ObamaJul 29, 2010
I just heard that today Obama signed the Tribal Law and Order Act.
