In public, President Obama is on a tear against Wall Street. In private, not so much
Over the weekend, Obama attacked fat-cat investment bankers, telling "60 Minutes" he didn't become president to aid and abet Wall Street -- which, only a year after the financial meltdown and taxpayer bailout, is now scheduled to hand out tens of billions of dollars in bonuses to its bankers and traders.
But the president's meeting yesterday with the CEOs of the largest banks was nearly a lovefest, I'm told by attendees.
Yes, White House spinmeisters advertised the gathering as a chance for Obama to channel the public's disgust over Wall Street's celebrating while Main Street still suffers 10 percent unemployment, thanks largely to Wall Street's bungling. But that's not what he did.

Obama is a two faced cut-throat ignorant tool of George Soros.
Mack daddy.
Obama yells to his Communist base, but is really a Roosevelt-era Cartel Communist at heart. He wants several wealthy banks to survive that pay him and his friends tons of money, lend to their friends and political base. Hard to do in a competitive market.
This is where corporate American and Communism become one. Willingly, since Dimon et al was the Elitest winners.
We loser.
Three more years of O and there will nothing left.
He is a poseur and treacherous liar.
He’s a fascist. The bankers know this and are simply making sure they get their cut of the pie. Fascism permits industries to exist as ostensibly “private,” but actually as heavily government controlled entities that are part of the government’s (particularly, the individual “ruler’s”) source of income.
Businesses went along with Hitler when he did this, and they will go along with Obama. In some ways it would be easier if he were just a Communist, because they’re easier to oppose. Instead, he is a sociopathic individual with a messiah complex who wishes to impose his will on everything, and the banks think that it would be prudent to go along with this. After all, they invested a lot in funding his election.
Bracko Bama is a Chameleon,
He changes colors to meet his environment.
(not meant to be a comment on his race, but yes, that too)
He has no principles stronger than a desire to increase his power.
... and his momma was a white wh0re... his daddy a drunk commie kenyan with a taste for whitey!
LLS
We need to separate who the culprits are.
When the Left uses the term “Wall St.,” they do so to denounce all capitalism and the free-market system as a whole.
Obammie the Commie is polishing the knobs of CENTRAL BANKSTERS and SOCIALIST FINANCIERS. PERIOD.
Some happen to have (or have had offices on) Wall Street. But they are not indicative of Capitalism as a system (because they collude with central government to destroy competition through monopoly)and if they abided by the principles of the free-market, they would have failed long ago.
THIS IS ALL PART OF THE “SYSTEM” OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE.
AUDIT THE FED.
END THE FED.
Do the bailed-out financial institutions owe citizens a “thank you” gesture? That’s something that should have been in the contract between lender (government) and borrower (institutions). The institutions owe nothing that’s not in that contract. Obama’s whining reveals nothing more than his administration’s incompetence when preparing the above-mentioned contract.

He practices Mussolini-style facism, what Il Duce used to call “corporatism.”
The parallels between Zippy and Mussolini are pretty startling, not only philosophically but their poses and mannerisms have a great deal in common.
O should remember how Il Duce ended up once his people decided he was just a traitor: hanging upside down from a Milan light pole.

I may be wrong but isn’t the University of California a publicly funded institution?
Bingo.
If people look at Hussein as a modern version of 1930’s fascists, he is much easier to understand.
He ALWAYS does BOTH!!!! Just depends on who he’s talkin to! So EVERYONE thinks he’s on their side!!
Said one CEO who attended: "I expected to be taken to the woodshed, but the tone was quite the opposite."
Said another senior exec with knowledge of the meeting: "The whole thing was so telegraphed that not much was accomplished, other than giving Obama a PR stunt . . . He might have sounded mean on '60 Minutes,' but during the meeting he was a hell of a lot nicer."
Basically a PR stunt, Goldman, Citi, and MS, didn't show, because they knew that.
The term “Fat Cats” is omana’s code for term for what the Nazis called”Jewish bankers”. Even though the Liberal Jews like the Liberal Gentiles believe that obama is their messaih, he has the same contempt for them that he has for the rest of us.
It is all about him.
