"Obama Seeks to Raise Money From Industry He Has Criticized. 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.
