Wall Street doesn't like Obama very much

[ck4829]

U.S. investors overwhelmingly see President Barack Obama as anti-business and question his ability to manage a financial crisis, according to a Bloomberg survey.

The global quarterly poll of investors and analysts who are Bloomberg subscribers finds that 77 percent of U.S. respondents believe Obama is too anti-business and four-out-of-five are only somewhat confident or not confident of his ability to handle a financial emergency.

The poll also finds a decline in Obama’s overall favorability rating one year after taking office. He is viewed favorably by 27 percent of U.S. investors. In an October poll, 32 percent in the U.S. held a positive impression.

“Investors no longer feel they can trust their instincts to take risks,” said poll respondent David Young, a managing director for a broker dealer in New York. Young cited Obama’s efforts to trim bonuses and earnings, make health care his top priority over jobs and plans to tax “the rich or advantaged.”

Aww, poor little Wall Street not getting all they want from Obama and they don't like being called privileged. Aww...

What can I say besides:

Awesome!

1. Unrepentent failures

Fuck them.

2. Bankers - fuck off and die.

Greedy, unrepentant bastards.

3. "business" != "unbridled corporatism".

"Business", by rights, should be boring, not a casino where the house not only always wins, but kicks your ass and steals your belongings before they throw you out.

It's absolutely dumbfounding that these people are displaying greed in all it's corpulent, hairy nudity. Oh gee, your advantage over the common man is now going to be 500-fold instead of 600-fold. Boo fucking hoo, idiots. I mean, what did you all THINK, that you'd be living in low-tax, low-regulation utopia forever and there'd never be a BILL come due?

7. Every prop trader with more than a couple of brain cells..

knows that this market has been heavily manipulated and they've been the beneficiaries of artificial circumstances. They have no right to complain.

9. Their hope was that the public would be dumb enough to elect bought-and-sold sock puppets forever.

While they were looting during the Bewsh years, they were telling the same workers they were firing this: "Hey, I KNOW it's painful, but you'll bounce back! Just think if you'd have elected a Marxist Democrap how high the taxes on us businesspeople and corporations would be, and then we wouldn't be able to hire because we'd ALL be poor!"

And of course, all the morons believed them and continued to chase that carrot on the stick . . .

5. This may be his best testimonial ever.

In a world of corporatists, our president has managed not to be a complete corporatist tool, even to the point of making the money men a little nervous.

This sounds like faint praise, but I am totally serious. The forces arrayed against reform are much more powerful than any president, no matter how inspiring and charismatic. That he's accomplished anything at all is pleasing.

6. We don't like fascist thugs much either. The feeling is mutual.

8. Nothing could be further from the truth..... Those fat cats are loving his

gentle approach toward them... He is asking them to please help us out. He is allowing them to in helping american homeowners who have been shell shocked by the game into remaining in their homes. Oddly but they seem unwilling to fill that need.... Wall streets story of words used to play on emotions, but behind the doors, it is business as usual...

10. It's so ironic that MA. elected Brown in to fight corporate interests. Are they nuts???

Boy are they going to look like fools.

[scheming daemons]

11. Yet half of DU considers him to be a Wall Street tool

Because half of DU are idiots.

12. fuck them... Obama should be in their goddamned hall of fame

and have Wall Street named after him for all the TARP generosity (and he didn't even leverage the situation to enact some harsh penalties and re-regulation, as I had hoped)...

Rat bastard pieces of shit burn down the world during their drunken orgy and Obama allows them to keep raking in the hundreds of millions when they should ALL be in jail with their assets stripped...
