Clinton did the same thing to them. All my generation, in their 30s at the time, voted for WJC because he was "cool" and modern; Bush 41 was so old. Clinton's first actions, too, were to screw Wall Street.

My words to them? "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice ... "

[but in private conversations, the top guys on Wall Street are feeling burned.]

Marxism is anti capitalist and you would think wall street peoples would know that simple truth.
Stupid is as stupid does and when any capitalist is a democrat, I shake my head and am baffled by their stupidity.

Yep. The ‘one’ is a mere shell. He has surrounded himself with power-minded women, Michelle, Valerie,etc., probably just like Mommy. He’s incapable of original thought, let alone considered judgement. Talk about the absolutely WORST man in the office of president. The only samrt thing he did was ask Gates to stay on. This lightweight belongs nowhere near matters of National Security. Ever.

Wall Street, the new Rock-n-Rollers. “Money for nothing, and your kicks for free.”

Stupid is as stupid does.

Anyone who believed Dear Reader was a moderate was definitely on the stupid side of ignorant.

They are too STUPID to run big companies if they really thought Bammy was a MODERATE!

a 10 year old could have told them he was a RADICAL.....all one has to do is look at who he associated himself with.

I am not in the least sympathetic. 0 has burned all the rest of his supports so why should Wall Street fat cats be any different. Odd how supposed ‘smart” people couldn't see 0 for what he is. And they want to tell you how to invest your hard (and harder) earned money. Screw em.

“Barack Obama was a “moderate,” and moderation was what this country needed.”

These people are truly stupid. By this statement, they are saying that Bush was an extremist of some sort. I hope they all suffer from Obama’s moderation.

Sssshhh! Didn’t you get the memo? We’re not supposed to compare Obama to Hitler. No matter how many similarities there are. It’s impolite and immoderate.

I wouldn't make comparisons to Hitler. He isn't sending anybody off to gas chambers, etc. IMHO it would be more apt to identify him as a community organizer with a Napoleon complex.

My thought exactly- there’s a whole lot more to Ms. Jarrett than being a Chicago lawyer with a real estate background.

I swear- if more people in the media just read FR for even 30 mins a day they would learn so much their heads would explode.

Not if your goal was the destruction of the US financial system, she’s the right person for the job.....

This is a political attack on the fionancial system, not a tweak of the financial system.

You still must believe that the Obama administration is simply inept, not purpose and goal driven to a different end.....

We gotta remember the social circles that these Wall Streeters move in. Upper West Side, Fairfield County, etc.

Some of those people would run Kim Jong Il for mayor of NYC.

Those guys are “dedicated followers of fashion,” to steal a line from The Kinks. They did the trendy thing and are now, supposedly, p.o.’d, though some argue that GS and MS are doing real fine with the current regime though they put on a different face for the public.

Actually, I think they’re both.

The fascist variety of socialism seems to be their goal, yet they overreach and show total disregard for public opinion, which isn’t very smart since we still are ostensibly a republic, though the Obamanoids probably have other ideas about that.

How did so many dumb people rise to the top? How is it you are supposed to be smart enough to run a financial institution and yet so dumb you fell for Obama's routine?

Well, they wanted to be famous, they will be now, they are the dummies who caused this mess and history will remember them for it.

Are we really still a republic?

Wait until the “crisis” that Joe Biden referred to before taking office.....

We will have to see how Obama intends to sieze control, this is the only way to accomplish what I suspect his motivations are.....

History is a great guide, all facists sieze control with force at some point.
