President Barack Obama will host a $30,400-per couple fundraiser in New York City tonight, seeking donations from the financial services industry that he has criticized and said needs more regulation. " Wall street owns Obama. Sometimes I think they let lehman fail in order to ensure his election. Assuming the public doesn't catch on we should be OK. If they do, then things could get a little hairy..
Wall street owns this country, period. We have the best politicians money can buy, and wall street has all the money. It's sad actually. I'm a free market guy and certainly not a lefty, but I could respect Obama more if he was actually for "change". Instead, he is just like all other politicians.............. #1 on his list is re-election He will take their money all the way up until his re-election and then try to bend them over. By then the Republicans will have the house/senate and their will be gridlock.
dam its confusing. you say wall street owns obama. if you go to the p&r thread you will find dozens of right wing wingnuts complaining that obama is an evil socialist out to destroy american capitalism. what gives?
so he is almost like a republican then? he is on the side of the wall street big money as in you scratch my back and i will scratch yours. does not sound very socalist to me.
Well in a sense, yes. They ALL will sell their principles out for hanging onto power and the power in this country goes through Wall St
