Dimon: I'm 'barely a Democrat'

By JUANA SUMMERS | 5/13/12 11:00 AM EDT

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says he considers himself “barely a Democrat at this point.”

“I would call myself a ‘barely Democrat,’ at this point. I didn't support anyone last time around: I'm on the New York Fed Board; I'm not allowed to. But I am a Democrat, yes,” Dimon said in an interview aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press.

Anti-business behavior by some Democrats has disturbed him, Dimon said.

“I’ve gotten disturbed at some of the Democrats anti-business behavior, the attacks on work ethic and successful people,” Dimon said. 'I think it’s very counterproductive.”

“t doesn't mean I don't have their values. I want jobs. I want a more equitable society. I don't mind paying higher taxes. … I do think we're our brother's keeper, he went on. "But I think that … attacking that which creates all things, is not the right way to go about it.”

1. Fella Thinks He Actually Is God, Sir....

"...that which creates all things..."

[grasswire]

4. apparently no one asked him to enumerate his creations

"....and on the seventh day..."

9. Narcissists usually do think they are gods.

[Schema Thing]

2. ...when he's actually barely a human "at this point".

[OKNancy]

3. What have the Democrats done or said that would make Dimon say this?

"....Democrats anti-business behavior, the attacks on work ethic and successful people,”

5. Great question. Too bad David Gregory didn't ask him that--but no surprise there!

[bulloney]

6. Huh! When has Gregory ever given a good follow-up question?

He's a total joke.

[Warpy]

11. Entrenched Wall Street Democrats have always sounded like this

We've always done marginally better under their administrations, most notably the Clinton administration, but it was during that administration that shifting wealth away from workers and onto the rich really picked up speed.

Saying they're no better is foolish, though.

7. And now on MSNBC

Weekends with Alex Witt, she's asking questions of David Gregory, David is saying Obama is tearing down Rmoney. WTF? And who's your idol? Oh fucking brother.

[dennis4868]

12. Romney...

is tearing himself down all by himself. What has Obama done other than tell the people the facts about Romney and his views and policies? That's tearing down people? WTF?

[demgrrrll]

13. As if RMoney does not ascribe to the Machiavellian tenets of crushing ones opponent completely

rather than allowing them to fight another day, witness his campaign for the nomination.

[Odin2005]

8. He's a narcissist.

[high density]

10. Who specifically is attacking work ethic and successful people?

Saying that the richest of the rich need to pay in taxes to support the country more is not an attack. It is a fact of life.

We have a country that punishes the people who work 40, 60, 80 hours a week and rewards the richest amongst us with record low taxes on capital gains and qualified dividends.

14. Another great question. Who indeed!

If Republicans could not lie, they would have very little to say.
