Obama Calls Wall St Meetings ‘Shocking’ as Rahm Emanuel (Secretly) Meets with Wall St Investors
Human Events ^ | Tuesday, April 20, 2010 | Connie Hair

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel met with Wall Street investors Sunday, the night before his boss, President Obama, criticized such meetings with Wall Street investors.

In Los Angeles trying to help Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) boost her sagging senatorial campaign that is in serious trouble, Obama Monay called such Wall Street meetings “shocking.”

“The Senate Republican leader, he paid a visit to Wall Street a week or two ago,” Obama said. “He took along the chairman of their campaign committee. He met with some of the movers and shakers up there. I don’t know exactly what was discussed. All I can tell you is when he came back, he promptly announced he would oppose the financial regulatory reform. He would oppose it. Shocking.”

Just one day before, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was meeting with Wall Street “movers and shakers” working out the finer details of the Democrats’ Wall Street reform that sets up a permanent taxpayer-funded bailout structure for “too big to fail” companies.

(As Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), a Democrat member of the House Financial Services Committee, told the Politico yesterday that even if the $50 billion bailout slush fund currently in the bill were stripped out, “The Dodd bill has unlimited executive bailout authority. … The bill contains permanent, unlimited bailout authority.”)

let me get this right
the second biggest contributor to bozo was Goldman , bozo hired a bunch of guys form that company.
Wall street gave more money to bozo than the GOP
Bozo has given bailouts and cushy nice tax incentives

but they then go on the attack against wall street.

Then there is the MSM who loves to put down wall street bu they make money through wall street via their 401k’s etc

OK got it liberal far left kook hypocrisy at it’s finest again

you got it

the far left have always fell for their party’s dirty tricks because they are unable to think for themselves.

The left hand which the rats do not want anyone to see and the far left does not see it at all does one thing while the rats make an enemy for their far left supporters to attack while ignoring that left hand

The Obama Chicago mob is robbing the whole world, not just Americans. If this doesn’t get them in jail, nothing will.

What’s shocking is how a scrawny angry toad like Rahm Emmanuel made $14 million bucks for a few months of pimping corporate-govt incest (aka rainmaking) before he ran for Congress

Nothing more would shock me except obama giving back the million bucks campaign donations he got from GS ... like Bush gave back the $6K he got from Abramoff

It's an orchestrated dog and pony show for the unwashed masses. Rahm makes sure everybody plays their part. There will be much posturing and posing, but nobody is going to jail.

Here we go again, with the villification of stock brokers and wall street. Then will come some arcane , draconian laws to destroy investment trading,such as a tax on each trade made.

All this is simply a thug shakedown of investors so Obama can tax the hell out of the industry and private investors.

Obama is nothing but a shake down artist.

Eff him amd his running dogs.They be gone soon!

There's good news, however. Obama has a serious weakness. He can't stand criticism. If gets enough of it, we'll get to see him melt down on TV.

Yes! It is a Classic symptom of his Pathological Narcissism!

Do not give him a moment's rest.

[Emanuel spoke at a secret gathering of 60 top investors at a Park Avenue residence in New York City on Sunday.]

Sounds like a shake-down, doesn't it?

Rahm was a bigshot with Wasserstein Perella & Company in the 1990’s.

Agree and agree. Public criticism will be his undoing.

Whereas President Bush endured interminable and ceaseless mocking from all fronts, the scrawny, diaper clad leftist o'bama has been coddled and sheltered. It can't go on.

he will indeed. and he will probably become fiercely vindictive ("hell hath no fury..." after all), but it's going to happen anyway. the sooner this sh)(t all comes to a head, the better.
