I work at one of the firms that was forced to take TARP money but didn’t want it. I (mostly) held my tongue as others around me talked up the 0 all through October and November, insisting that “he’s going to govern like a centrist, technocrat”.
On Friday morning, I was going through opensecrets.org, noting which of my jack@ss colleagues donated money to this charlatan, and considering asking them if they thought they got their money’s worth.
But then I decided that if they’re going to take my bonus, I need to at least keep my job to have a salary.
Good luck!
I still can’t imagine what made them think Bambi would be a “centrist,” but I even heard Freepers saying that, so I guess he played a good game with somebody’s head. Hillary probably would have been a centrist or a “center leftist,” and I think that Wall Street just assumed that one Dem candidate was like another. Big mistake.
