After a year in which his administration’s policies helped produce some of the best years on record for Wall Street firms, President Barack Obama has been struggling to recast himself as an adversary of the banks.
He seems to have succeeded in taking on this role with one important group—the bankers themselves.
“Pretty much everyone hates Obama,” a senior trader at a major Wall Street firm told us.
"He's never been popular but this is a whole new level," he said.
The trader explained that the thought the Obama administration’s plans were worse than unworkable.
“It’s one thing if he proposes something we don’t like, that we disagree with. But when he puts forth this thing, none of it backed with any thoughtfulness about how things work…it really pisses people off,” he said.

That’s one trader (and perhaps reporter) you won’t be hearing from much any more.
Don’t miss this!
Good point, but we aren't dealing with logic here. We're dealing with a man child who probably couldn't pass an Economics 101 course.
How ironic. IIRC Wall Street gave 75% of its donations to elect him.
Whew. Gettin’ thick out there. Mighty thick...
Wall Street gambled on him & lost. Too bad they aren’t the only losers here. The rest of us get to suffer for their poor bet.

Sorry, I fixed that for you. Our current leadership would make Bernie Madoff blush.
Well that’s good news
One wonders what part of Faust they did not understand.
(Not original. Credits to a letter to the wsj re similar topic)
.
Hedge funds. Totally unregulated and they own lots of senators. The Dems refuse to regulate hedge funds like Soros etc etc.
Obama is "the one" who thinks that P/E ratio stands for "profits and earnings ratio".
their distrust of the Christian conservatism of his running mate got the best of them
now they have a POTUS who not only is bigoted towards them but also is as openly hostile to Israel as any POTUS I have ever seen
they are sure saavy..this group on Wall Street
They will now be giving 100% of their donations to defeat him.
WTH? I can't get around the first statement. Did I miss something in translation or what?
Note the difference in singular versus plural, and that 0bama was sworn in about 365 days ago.
The overwhelming stupidity of that statement is only exceeded by the proved liberal slant of the reporter.
Bullcrap. Wall Street overwhelmingly voted and contributed campaign cash for the Kenyan. Now they want a do-over.
How can you be sure it was him or the guy who write his teleprompter speeches? Or the evil influence of George W. Bush? Just because he spoke “off the cuff” doesn’t mean he’s ignorant. He’s got a Harvard Law School degree, you know. < / sarcasm >
He did not stay BOUGHT! The crooks thought they could buy Obama to get favors. Now they’re gonna be PO’d.
