Obama – Fights Special Interests As He Attends Wall Street Fundraiser
Flopping Aces ^ | 05-13-10 | Curt

Complete and utter hypocrite:

President Obama has been happy to beat up on Wall Street "fat cats," but tonight he'll be even happier to take their money.

The President is slated to headline a superswank, $50,000-per-couple fund-raiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee at Manhattan's gilded St. Regis hotel on Fifth Ave.

The high-dollar affair will feature fine French food, a bevy of Wall Street titans and 23 Congress members - including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

The man's hypocrisy knows no bounds.

I firmly believe in capitalism and disagree with Obama's vilification of Wall Street. The government and the President have no business getting involved with the running of private firms...but if your gonna trash talk about them then show the backbone to turn away from them. Instead, you look like a weak-kneed jellyfish who says one thing while doing the other.

obama (aka Stroker) is so full of sh*t that if he were to have an enema, all that would remain would easily fit into a thimble, with plenty of room to spare.

Just one question. If Obama is a hypocrite for accepting Wall Street money, what does that make the Wall Streeters who give him lavish contributions despite his vows to federalize them? Something’s out of kilter here. Or is a different game underway?

They are all playing the same game. Obama pretends to be outraged that the bankers are corrupt liars and the bankers pretend to be contrite. This goes on while they make cozy backroom deals. It’s all for show; it’s all fake. In the end it is middle class American’s who will once again get shafted via new regulations and taxes. They can all drop dead.

Capitalism and modern day Wall Street have nothing to do with one another.

Those of us who've been paying attention know that. The big Wall Street money, Goldman, GE, etc. are all Progressive Democrats who stand to benefit from blending of government and big business.

The media continue to peddle the falsehood that Democrats favor the "little guy." Unions are big business too and you're right: middle class Americans are the suckers in the never-ending con game.
