 == Unrelated paragraph in ""Crony Capitalism"" == 
 The Crony Capitalism section has some interesting info which suggests that major players in the subprime market mess greased the palms of politicians who regulated them, which may have contributed to the subprime collapse. That's fine, but the last paragraph in that section doesn't seem to have anything to do with that: 
 ::""Billionaire Warren Buffet has committed 5 billion to purchase options to invest US$5 billion in the bank holding company Goldman Sachs. [83] Buffett has also contributed money to Barack Obama's Presidential Campaign, and even attended a $28,500 per plate fundraiser for Mr. Obama's campaign on July 2, 2008 in Chicago hosted by Mr. Obama's National Finance Chair, Penny Pritzker and her husband, and Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett. [84] A 2002 report by the United States Treasury Department detailed that while Penny Pritzker was Chair of Hinsdale, Illinois-based Superior Bank of Chicago, the bank ""embarked on a business strategy of significant growth into subprime home mortgages.""[85] On Thursday September 25, 2008, Mr. Obama met with Mr. Bush and Mr.McCain at the White House to discuss bailout plans."" 
 The catch is, Obama wasn't part of a banking committee, and those associations don't seem to suggest that those Obama campaign contributions may have contributed to the subprime crisis... in fact, the subprime collapse had already occured by the given date (July 2, 2008). Rather, somebody thought that this would be a good place to dump a few associations between Obama and supporters of his presidential bid who are/were in the finance industry. What does it have to do with the events leading up to the subprime crisis? If the point is just to name people in the finance sector who support a presidential candidate, then it would be an extremely long list, but it would still be irrelevant to this article's topic. If any of these associations can be shown to have contributed to the subprime crisis, then they might be relevant. -  "
