Wall Street bigs snubbed President Obama last night at a big-bucks campaign fund-raiser at The St. Regis hotel in Midtown.

[C19fan]

Another group of Obamabots now having buyer's remorse. Perhaps they learned their lesson.

[livius]

I don’t think they ever really learn. He’ll do something to make it up to them - or if not, he’ll do something that will scare them so much they’ll come along like little lambs the next time around.

[RoseofTexas]

Idiots!!

[Walkingfeather]

Obama is a pimp, wall street are his Bitches. He takes their money and slaps them around to keep them in line.

[reagan_fanatic]

Yep. Like a beaten Wife who refuses to leave her abusive Husband, they’ll be back.

[WayneS]

They snubbed him publicly, but I'm sure by Monday morning most of them will have delivered their customary bribes, I mean donations, to Rahm Emmanuel in plain brown envelopes.

[Carley]

Rahm will be sending them dead fish or horse heads sooner rather than later.

[knarf]

I've never understood the whole power thing.

Perhaps because I've never had it, nor a lot of money which seems to be it's bedpartner.

What I DO think is, people get a lot of money and power because of personal liberty and freedom in a capitalist system, and I would also think that if I got there by that means, I would use my power and money to protect and advance that system, and NOT cater nor kowtow to a lesser method.

Bill Gates and his ilk could do SO much ... if his brain wasn't fried.

how many showed vesus how many expected?

I'm sure by Monday morning most of them will have delivered their customary bribes

Goldman just saved obama's Chicago bank that was about to go under today. But you won't hear that on the evening news.

042684425. Wonder if that’s his ATM PIN?

[small voice in the wilderness]

wanna make Wall Street pee their pants?? Let a rumor start that conservatives plan to sit it out on election day. Seems we're just too tired of fighting this abomination alone...

It's called tough love and they need to be bitch-slapped back into reality.

I doubt it.This smacks of political theater.Obama pummels his Wall St supporters. They publicly abandon him. The Dems then tie Wall St,which is wildly unpopular, to the GOP. Their evidence? Look how few came out for us after we went after them.Where will they send their donations?To the GOP,of course.In the public’s mind,coutesy of the SRMedia,Wall St will be tied to the GOP.

"They may support individuals, but not the party," one House Democratic lawmaker said.

Hand meets glove = same results. The only good Dems are the ones who don't vote and/or hold no political office. All else file under 'G'. Or 'B' for basura!

[mass55th]

"While the event drew executives from a number of private-equity firms, leaders from big outfits like Goldman Sachs, Citigroup..."

Big surprise there.

/sarcasm

[Tempest]

That’s there sign to a sitting American President that they expect more butt kissing and recognition than normal folks...

[tflabo]

[Tempest]

The Goldman Sachs and Citigroup execs were probably too busy robbing some little old lady that they couldn’t attend a drunken party.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Since they have played him instead of him playing them, they see no further advantage in sucking up to the future lame duck. Wall Street knows a looser when they see one. Remember, most Wall Street types are dems.

[zeugma]

Yep. Like a beaten Wife who refuses to leave her abusive Husband, they’ll be back.

That pretty much describes conservatives too. The republican party progressives play conservatives like a fine instrument.
