Among those unlikely to be persuaded are the longtime Democrat fundraising powerhouse husband and wife team of Steven L. Rattner and Maureen White. Rattner is a founder of the Quadrangle Group and served as Obama’s Counselor to the Secretary of the Treasury and White is the former finance chair for the Democratic National Committee.

One former Democratic donor, who spoke to the New York Times under terms of anonymity, “said it was ironic that the same president who once criticized bankers as ‘fat cats’ would now invite them to dine at Daniel, where the six-course tasting menu runs to $195 a person.”

It's OK, Zer0 will only get donations from Fascist corporations.

Anyone on Wall Street who contributes so much as a penny to this socialist America-hater needs his head examined.

If Obama had his way, Wall Street - and everything it represents - would be permanently shut down.

But, then, there were plenty of industrialists who supported the early Hitler until the idiots were loaded into the ovens.

WHere's the 'outrage" from the NY Times? When will all those exposes about the Unholy Won be published? I mean if the Times spends half - maybe even a third - what they spent trying to destroy Sarah Palin on digging up some inconvenient truths about Barry, they MIGHT become temporarily relevant again.

Yeah, the ovens are what gave them a change of heart. ; )

This man has no shame. He probably thinks that if they are scared enough, they will give him more money.

Steven L. Rattner and Maureen White

[Mr. K]

Maybe he offerred to spend a billion dollars he does not have on his campaign

Just like he spends government money he doesnt have

[relictele]

The persons responsible for managing money and transactions willingly walk into a shakedown operation. The mind boggles.
