Obama is having us all for lunch.

In the depths of the financial crisis last year, people like Morgan Stanley's John Mack, BlackRock's Larry Fink, Greg Fleming (then of Merrill Lynch), JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs' Lloyd Blankfein were telling everyone that candidate Barack Obama was a "moderate," and moderation was what this country needed.
What a difference a year makes. They won't admit it in public -- but in private conversations, the top guys on Wall Street are feeling burned.
The guy who seemed like such a steady voice -- vowing to curb runaway spending and restoring order to the banking system and the economy as a whole -- is instead so driven to achieve his big-government policy goals that he and his policy people are ignoring their own economic advisers on the severe economic costs that his agenda will cause.

That’s ok boys. Hitler fooled a lot of folks early on too.
No wonder they got caught in a financial disaster, they couldn’t even figure Obama out. Was it because they allow their view of the world to be filtered only through MSM?
Duh. Idiots trusted a pretty politician. Duh.
TOO MANY DUMB PPL
Same people who invested with Madoff?
Nice move, a**holes, financing and supporting Marxist vermin into power.
Obama is having us all for lunch.
Gasparino is blowing smoke for JPM and GS. Dimon and Blankfein are getting exactly what they want from Obama.
If Wall Street was fooled by obama, well... Wall Street was not fooled by obama. Not the real Wall Street. This new generation of helium-breathing rocket-scientists and toilet-paper hoards, holed-up in their multimillion dollar Chelsea lofts; these spoiled-rich-kid hedge fund lemmings, yeah...they were fooled. By pretty much everything.
This is a really disturbing- but not surprising article. In particular, this got my attention:
...The funniest story I’ve heard lately came from a former Wall Street executive and longtime Democrat who anxiously recounted a recent conversation with Obama.
The executive said he told the president that he’s at a disadvantage because he’s relatively inexperienced in economic matters during a time of economic crisis. “That’s why I have Valerie,” came Obama’s reply.
“Valerie” is senior adviser Valerie Jarrett — a Chicago real-estate attorney and one of Obama’s closest friends, who has deep ties to the Windy City’s Democratic political machine...
toilet-paper hoarders, that is.
Wizard’s with numbers but blind on people. Doesn’t surprise me. Suckers...
LOL. Sweet.
They are not as smart as they thought they were. Not many people are.
Second article today from a major paper dissing The One. People are slowly waking up.
That, and the fact that they are located in NYC—Lefty Land.
They thought he’d be another Clinton with another Rubin advising him.
Surprise!
That’s like saying you feel confident because you’ve got the village idiot as your right-hand man.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
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.
