Ken Langone Flips Out On Obama, Accusing Him Of Long Lasting "Destruction"

Ken Langone, the former director of the NYSE and a veteran of Wall Street banking, had some harsh words for President Obama.
Langone lambasted Obama's leadership during the debt ceiling crisis to CNBC, saying it has been "unpresidential."
Langone opined:
He is dividing us as a nation. He's not bringing us together. He's willfully dividing us. He's petulant.
He is not acting presidential. He is behaving in a way designed in my opinion to divide us, to make us look at each other with skepticism, with suspicion. That is the end of America as we know it. The destruction he is inflicting by his behavior will carry on long after we settle the debt limit.
As Dan Loeb similarly commented in a recent letter to investors, Langone said that Obama has been fostering class warfare.
While Langone said that people as wealthy as him should pay more taxes, he argued that framing this issue as a rich versus poor dichotomy is divisive and unnecessary.
""The debt ceiling is a done deal," says Langone told CNBC.

Yep. Its no coincidence that this number appraoches 50% of the population.
Actually, the 48% of people who don't pay federal taxes is 48% of those who work. About 62% of the workforce pays no taxes. The 50% mark was passed long ago. Less than 40% pay 100% of Federal income taxes.
No chit Ken. When did you get a clue? The rest of us were already up to speed.
Ahh it 'tis amazing and do you notice also that lamenting the POTUS now, these people also blame the other side as well....it is not 'their boy' who has wronged them it is the entire government.
Meanwhile, Carney just admitted in his Presser that this is ALL about pushing the Debt Limit past the 2012 election.
Democrats COULD CARE LESS if Grandma starves, the vets starve, or if the Military doesn’t get paid.
IT’S ALL ABOUT HIS REELECTION for Democrats, and not a damned thing else.
If it took this guy is THIS stupid that it took him almost 3 years to figure out what many of us in here had figured out BEFORE the election, God help us if he’s typical of the guys in top slots in the other key areas of this country.
It explains EVERYTHING, doesn’t it?
He reminds me of Mohamed Atta.
I don´t want to believe he´s on jihad. But I do.
They [Atta and Obama] have the same dead eyes. All sociopaths do.
I watched it this morning, he was great. Even the NY Times writer gave him an Amen.

I’m looking for more of our business leaders to repudiate the jug eared idiot
Yes.
BTW, the phrase, "Marxist Muslim," is an oxymoron, since atheism is a central doctrine of Marxism.
Please send me a couple of good, solid citations, documenting the fact that Euro socialists demonize the type of ‘rich’ Obama demonizes [i.e.: he goes after people who aren’t rich at all, but are simply white and middle class, in many cases struggling to make ends meet], and also that show Euro socialists are as obsessed with such demonizations as O is.
Tut tut re: Marxist Muslim/atheism. You didn’t read my next post, did you?
Every American on the street should know by now Obama is a classic Marxist/communist hell bent on the destruction of free market capitalism and America as we've known it. We have to keep hammering home his background, training in Marxism, socialism, 'community organizing', class warfare, racism, Alisnky's rules, Cloward-Piven beliefs, early involvement and representation of ACORN, his atheism (and islamism when it suits him), his NPD, his drug use, (is it continuing? - can congress demand a drug test?), the New Party, Committees of Correspondence, pandering to unions/SEIU, Ayers, Wright, Soros, his push for a "civilian national security force”, - where do you stop? - the list goes on and on.
America, Wake Up! This guy is un-American and anathema to our way of life. He does not represent us!
If you want this:
Then vote for Obama in 2012. If you don't, become a Patriotic American again and Join the Fight against Tyranny!
Marxists and Muslims both will partner with anyone in the short term in order to achieve their long term global domination goals.
Well, someone gets it.
Yep.
Flat tax or a 'consumption tax' to replace the income tax, only exceptions to the latter are food, home energy, medical care, and primary housing (just don't tax them).
