The man behind the curtain:
After honing his financial skills as the bagman for Bill Clinton's White House, Rahm Emanuel was hired by the investment bank Wasserstein Perella, where he worked for 2 1/2 years.

For that, Emanuel was paid more than $18 million.
(Maybe Rahm Emanuel was the Democrat livid at Schumer for preserving a sweet tax deal for hedge fund managers!)

So that is why my banker friend in New York is so enthusiastic about the Arab kid, Obama. He even tried to put bad things in about Joe the Plumber in Wikipedia.

I did try to defend Joe the plumber over the phone to him, however.

How” Because the GOP is run by idiots who don’t understand how to use a PR campaign, and constantly get outflanked and out-talked by their Dem counterparts.

A mentor of mine, a graduate of the country’s finest MBA program of the day, said he and his classmates shunned Wall Street, although any of them could have shot to the top on it easily. His classmates started IBM and other great companies. They considered Wall Streeters merely salespeople. They were more interested in creating new products and jobs, helping people, not just themselves. Wall Street was/is an anathema to them on a personal level.

From en.wikipedia.org:
Gordon Gekko is a fictional character from the 1987 film Wall Street by director Oliver Stone. Gekko was portrayed by actor-producer Michael Douglas, in a performance that won him an Oscar for Best Actor. Gekko may return in Money Never Sleeps which is currently in pre-production.

Co-written by Stone and screenwriter Stanley Weiser, Gekko is claimed to be based loosely on arbitrageur Ivan Boesky, who gave a speech on greed at the University of California, Berkeley in 1986, and real-life activist investor / corporate raider Carl Icahn. According to Edward R. Pressman, producer of the film, "Originally, there was no one individual who Gekko was modelled on," he adds. "But Gekko was partly Milken", who was the "Junk Bond King" of the 1980s, and indicted on 98 counts of racketeering and fraud in 1989.[1]

In 2002 Gordon Gekko was named one of the Fifteen Richest Fictional Characters according to Forbes who attributed him with 8.5 billion dollars. In 2003, the AFI named him number 24 of the top 50 movie villains of all time...
