Despite his rhetorical attacks on Wall Street, a study by the Sunlight Foundation's Influence Project shows that President Barack Obama has received more money from Wall Street than from any other politician over the past 20 years, including President George W. Bush

Check out how much campaign cash all of the big banks gave to Obama, and how much compared to Republicans. Obama acts like he is the defender of jilted Bank of America customers, but Obama has received more money from them than any other candidate dating back to 1991.

I thought that it was those evil Republicans that were sell-outs to Wall Street? Sarc.

Daley...bankster. Rahm Emanuel who preceded him...bankster.

You can’t make this stuff up.

All of the information in the article is the acid test for the legitimacy of Occupy Wall Street and the occupy offshoots.

You know there is a thought or comment forming, but at this point...keyboard politics mean little.

We typed, we emailed, we commented, and yes many even marched...we voted too...and what do have for those efforts?

WE have idiots in the streets complaining about crony capitalism and they don't even realize IT IS THEIR OWN DAMN REPRESENTATIVES WHO ARE GUILTY!

I am done, I am tired, I am disgusted and offended by my own government. If we can't bring them to some sort of justice ...what is the point of elections and these patty-cake lame debates.

Nothing we do will stop them between now and next November. Nothing.

The day we get rid of this odious thief can’t come soon enough. What he has done to America is a big enough insult but, worse, if he is voted out of office next year or whenever, we will have to pay to maintain him and his family for the rest of their lives.

This is the biggest insult of all. zero needs to be stripped of all post-presidential perks including “pension”, SS protection, health benefits (not HIS ObamaCare for HIM!!), and all the rest of it. We should not have to pay to maintain the one person whose sole goal in life is the destruction of the country that made the mistake of electing him president!!

if the Occupiers are serious about wanting to smack the banks around, Barry is not their guy

I was watching Fox and Friends this morning, and Wasserman-Schultz was on. I cannot believe that she can - with straight face - act as if Republicans are in the hip pocket of Wall Street while Dems are somehow anti-Wall Street.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Obama’s presidency, among other things, has seen an empowerment of the Federal Reserve with Dodd-Frank, and a corporatistic health care reform bill.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Barack Big-Bank Obama is what he should change his name to.

I doubt, though, that most of OWS has any idea just how much Obama is in bed with the Big Banks.

I’m not anti-bank by any stretch of the imagination, but at the same time, TARP (which Obama and like-minded fellow Dems vigorously supported)was not free-market capitalism at work, and corporatism/crony capitalism mingled with banking is not free-market capitalism at work, either.

Over a year ago, I said it was stupid of the GOP to stick up for the banks. The banks are NO friends of conservatives in politics.

Yet the GOP continues to carry water for the banks, over and over and over again.

This is why the GOP is “the stupid party.”

Most rational people will reward their friends and at the very *least*, not reward their enemies.

The GOP deliberately craps on their friends, and rewards their enemies.

“TARP ... was not free-market capitalism at work, and corporatism/crony capitalism mingled with banking is not free-market capitalism at work, either.”

It has become more obvious since 2008 that a major shift change is coming. The banks had a choice to reject the “bullying” of the Acorn attack tactics of the issue of redlining, and they decided to go along to get along.

The country now has the most powerful sector of what remains of this economy, in agreement with the socialists/marxists in the White Hut. The OWS is just a ruse for the uninformed rabble of sheeple.

And the majority of Repubs, in politics, and as voters, have NOT woken up yet.

These are looking like dangerous times indeed.

Communism was sponsored by German bankers in the first place (the Bund der Gerechten), so why should this be news? The Democrats have always been the Party of Slavery, and the Party of the Extremely Rich.
