WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama has hit out at Wall Street "fat cats", expressing anger that banks bailed out by the government plan huge bonuses while millions of Americans battle poverty and unemployment.
"I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street," Obama said Friday in excerpts of an interview with CBS television to be aired on Sunday.
With unemployment still hovering at around 10 percent, amid a recession triggered in part by the excesses of financial institutions, Obama voiced frustration that "some people on Wall Street still don't get it."

Obama Irked By “Fat Cat Bankers”
President Also Tells 60 Minutes U.S. Needs More Cooperation From Pakistan to Succeed in the War on Terror
Obummer, the Marxist now posing as a Fascist, again rears his ugly Marxist head.
There it is for all but the blind to see.
His getting pissed at the ‘fat cat bankers’ is just his way of expressing his displeasure of not being “Hoover-lipped” by them and receiving copious amounts of untraceable cash via surreptitious means.....nothing to see here folks, move along.
ahaha he is so paid off by them...

What is that they say about the pot calling the kettle black?
Everybody should be poor...that’s equality!
At least TR and FDR used phrases like “malefactors of great wealth” and “the wealthy criminal class”. “Fat Cats” sounds like something a junior-high kid came up with.
If any political cartoonists are reading this, try doing one with Obama milking a cow. Label the various udders “class warfare”, “race card” etc...

When will Obama get around to slamming fat cat government workers with huge salaries and more than generous benefit and pension benefits like the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guys, just as an example.
It’s been a staple of Kucinich’s for decades, and it always works around here (N.E. Ohio)

Excellent point did you see those stories yesterday about the five figure salaries of the govt. workers?
This has to be about the polls.
The Kenyan needs a scapegoat for high unemployment.
The Kenyan is weak now. I hope bankers fire back and remind America that the government required them to issue sub prime loans.
African/ mideastern/indonesian mentality at work again. This is what BOs mental points of reference are. He aint American.
Whats his beef? They already pay more than their share in taxes.
Every step of the way he is looking to destroy capitalism.
One day his and his people will wake up and the employers are gone. Unemployment is growing exponentially.... and thats where the marxist program takes America to. Its not far away.Flight of capital and jobs has already occurred. He is just exacerbating the problem.
Gee, would these be the same fat cat banksters from which Obowzo gets his marcbing orders???
He’s screwing everyone who stands in the way of his “Power”. 3 more years of this cr**.
Only Great Leader can give good speech out of both sides of his mouth.
