Michael Moore: "Wall Street Has Their Man And His Name Is Barack Obama"

MICHAEL MOORE, ON CNN: Well, "The Washington post" three weeks ago had this investigation and they said that President Obama has now raised more money from Wall Street and the banks for this election cycle than all -- than all eight Republicans combined. I don't want to say that, because if that's the truth, that Wall Street already has their man and his name is Barack Obama, then we've got a much bigger problem.

But I think President Obama, if he were here in the room, the question I would ask him is why are they your number one contributors? Why are you taking this money?

MORGAN: It's fascinating to find out why they're doing it. I'll ask him.

MOORE: What are they expecting in return in the second term from you? Right now, here's what we do know. Goldman Sachs was your number one contributor the 2008 election. And we have not seen anyone from Goldman Sachs go to jail. We have not seen

Even a stopped clock...

[Question Liberal Authority]

Oh, please. I’m sure Obama gets just as much money from unnamed foreign sources with ties to terrorists.

[dynachrome]

Soros covers all those bases.

[Grizzled Bear]

Mikey Bore, is what you smoking Illegal? Wall Street has afriend in 0? 0 is not a friend of Wall Street or Main Street.

For some odd reason, Wall Street gave Obama a butt load of cash. BP gave Obama more money than they had ever given any other candidate. Even the Insurance companies poured out huge donations for him.

our pResident is not exactly "a man of the people."

[liberty or death]

And I would ask Mikey. Would ya Mikey, Would ya? Would you ask that question or would you just lick ice cream cones with another rich socialist like yourself. Mikey, get some deodorant and take a shower ya freaking pig.

[Signalman]

Fatboy’s turning on the Marxist. Interesting.

[Chode]

[Moby Grape]

Fatboy isn’t turning on Obama, he is disappointed that Obama is not STALIN....you must keep in mind that they want a 100% socialist strongman.

It was actually reported in the WAPO !!!!!

"Most years, he claims, he makes very little."

Then that's completely his choice. He could easily make half a million a year on speaking gigs alone.

Wall Street has afriend in 0? 0 is not a friend of Wall Street or Main Street.

Wall Street is owned by Democrats. They wink and nod back and forth all the time. What, you think that journalism and Democrats tell the truth about Wall Street? They don't tell the truth about anything.

Why hasn't that happened? President Obama, we the people need you to take them by the throat and say, damn it, this is the United States of America; you don't steal from the working people of this country. And this is the way it's going to be.

Guess why that hasn't happened, Mikey!

[tbpiper]

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.

[fhayek]

If he did become president, they would have to super-size that bathtub that Taft got stuck in.

[SaraJohnson]

So that’s who ate Captain Obvious.

LOL!

[BlueDragon]

You first, fatso.

Whatever Moore's faults, can anybody point to anything he's done that resembles Corzine's apparent rip off of (how many?) millions?

Like most here, I can't stand Moore, but he's talking some sense, isn't he? It is Obama and the 'Rats who are getting all the kickbacks in exchange for the cover they've been providing for "internal repossession" game playing, dumb-ass Euro-bond market, over-leveraged criminals.

That's one party that needs busting up.

Thanks presidio9.

There’s a spokesman for the downtrodden. His message will especially resonate with persons of color, whatever their walk of life. Wait, no it won’t.

It should be a nice addition to everyone’s Facebook stream, though. Welcome to the age of antisocial media. :’)

Billionaire business mogul Penny Pritzker is a member of one of America’s richest families and was the Finance Chair for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama.  It was Pritzker that led the prolific, and illegal, fundraising that helped power Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.  She was the chair of Chicago-based Superior Bank’s board for five years.  Pritzker was into subprime lending before it became all the rage starting in around 2000.  Prtizker's chairmanship was to concentrate on sub prime lending, principally on home mortgages, but for a while in subprime auto lending, too, after the Pritzkers' bank acquired its wholesale mortgage organization division, Alliance Funding, in December 1992. Back then they called it "predatory lending." Superior Bank went belly up in 2001 with over $1 billion in insured and uninsured deposits; 1,406 depositors lost much of their life savings.  This collapse came amid harsh criticism of how Superior’s owners promoted sub-prime home mortgages. On Nov. 1 [2002] the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. pointed the finger at Ernst & Young, Superior’s auditor, in a fraud suit filed in federal court here.  But that action came two months after a group of Superior depositors accused the bank’s owners and directors, including two members of the Pritzker family, of racketeering....

...Pritzker is chairman of Classic Residence by Hyatt, luxury senior living communities in 11 states; chairman of The Parking Spot, which owns and operates off-airport parking facilities in nine cities; chairman of the credit data company TransUnion and chairman of Pritzker Realty.  She also sits on the board of Global Hyatt and plays a role in numerous non-profit groups, including serving as chairman of the Olympic village portion of Chicago’s bid to win the 2016 Summer Games.

Just like to say that I appreciate the way you personally thank people for threads you find particularly interesting. I am sure I’m not alone in saying that it feels nice to be appreciated.

This is comming from a guy who usually has a couple of people a month lobbying JimRob directly to get him thrown off of this website.
