This should be quite the show.
The White House just released a statement by Press Secretary Robert Gibbs that President Obama is heading to Wall Street on Thursday this week:
On Thursday, President Obama will travel to New York City where he will deliver remarks at Cooper Union on Wall Street reform. Almost two years after the crisis hit and almost one year after the Administration first laid out a detailed plan for holding Wall Street accountable and protecting consumers, he will call for swift Senate action. The crisis has already wiped out trillions of dollars in family wealth and cost over 8 million jobs. The President will also remind Americans what is at stake if we do not move forward with changing the rules of the road as a part of a strong Wall Street reform package.
The charges against Goldman Sachs begin to look more and more politically motivated.
Like Hitler moving into Poland.
Ah boy, here comes mr. no it all.
Que up Charlie Daniels.
Obama went down to Wall st
He was looking for stocks to steal....
Just another in a looonggg line of self aggrandizing events.The media will relate that 150 years ago Abraham Lincoln made his defining presentation of his political vision at The Cooper Union. Though Obama will have missed the actual anniversary by two months, the media will note the connection between Lincoln and the even more majestic Obama. If they don’t, and with the level of their knowledge they might not, I am sure Robert Gibbs will bring it to their attention.
Looking to play some more golf?
Wall Street and Obama are best buddies. They have given him 10s of millions for his election. They all know this chest thumping about "Financial Reform" is just propaganda. That what they really REALLY want to do is make sure the taxpayers are on the hook to guarantee any Wall Street losses so the fat casts can keep gambling with our money.
Just more Progressive Fascism in action.
Robert Gibbs office writes their story boards and text.
I wonder where his audience will be bussed in from?
The “reform” measured that 0 has proposed are actually National Socialism: nominally private enterprises with strong government controls. It also includes provisions for bailouts, but comes with government strings attached. This is catnip to Wall Street executives, who for the most part are not the owners of the enterprises they lead. They effectively become high compensated government employees, without the threat of being fired by owners or the board of directors, so long as they do what the government asks, whether or not it makes any economic sense.
Or as the execs at Goldman Sachs might put it, “Please, Brer ‘Bama, don throw me in dat dere briar patch!”
He pronounced Goldman guilty before they went on trial.
It makes sense in Barky’s Alice in Wonderland world.
Sick day!!
I know this announcement was made around 2 hours ago, but I suspect it’s just starting to get some “attention”... and I can’t help noticing that the stock market is starting to resume its decline.
“When the Obama Administration talks, investors listen... and run for the hills.”
My thoughts exactly. I don’t think there are many SEIU members working on Wall Street.
Here comes a new tax on every transaction...to pay for ???
Pretty soon, all youyr accounts incl your pin numbers will be delivered to the IRS...with full authority to “take what the govt needs”
Joseph Goebbels Gibbs will deal with that.
