Obama to OWS: “Suckers!”
I alluded to a HuffPo story in this morning’s column, but it deserves a slightly fuller treatment. Here’s the meat:
President Obama’s campaign manager has a message for Wall Street: This time around, we’ll lay off.
Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager, told the hosts of a $38,500 per-plate fundraiser geared towards investment bankers and hedge fund managers that the president wouldn’t make Wall Street look bad during his re-election campaign, Bloomberg reports. The assurance follows Obama’s call to raise taxes on the rich in his latest budget proposal.
The current attempt at appeasement also comes as Obama attempts to win back the donors that provided him with so much last election.
Off course Obama will go easy on Wall Street. That’s where the money is.
Considering the fact that the Wall Street bailouts NEVER ended and are funded to this day by the Obama administration, the news above is not much of a suprise.
The fact that the “useful idiots” and hopuim pipe addicts of OWS blindly shill for Obama whilst he steals from them to bail out his 0.001% campain donors and Wall Street croniess just goes to show that human stupidity is the only infinite resource in the universe.
Look for Debtors Prisons/work camp galugs to make a comeback early in the second Obama term, that’s the change Obama has in store for them.
In Obama’s world, there are no allies, friends or associates… everyone’s either an enemy or a useful idiot.
Anybody who takes Obama at his word is a sucker, whether it’s OWS or Wall Street. After all, Obama took Wall Street’s money in 2008, too.
Sure, privately he’s always been pro-Wall Street traders and managers (as opposed to “Wall Street” our financial system), but publicly he’s been anti-everybody downtown.
The question is, stupid as these people are (fund managers provide a great lesson in how little general life smarts you need to make lots of money in the financial industry), are they stupid enough to open up their wallets for him again?
Oh wait, I answered my own question. In two different ways.
The man is the epitome of asshole.
Give him the benefit of the doubt. He only took cash from “good” Wall Street, just like Elizabeth Warren…
