This is what happens when you make a pack with the devil, "Why Wall St. Is Deserting Obama"

So Mr. Loeb is upset because he is against punitive taxation?

loeb is a hedge fund manager, who with their wonderful schemes of flash trading and along with the banks and other financial institutions who brought us to the worst economic crisis since the depression, have the gall, after the TAXPAYERS bailed many of these "criminals" out, to complain about what he considers "punitvie" taxation!!!

2. Obama's not running this year.
Loeb must be deserting the congress who voted for reform.

4. The fact is that the administration should do what is right for the country
not what is right for wall street or the fat cats

7. Yes, and now maybe he will. He should tell them to 'get lost'
and then tax them as high as possible. Let the Bush tax cuts expire and show them that their greedy, predatory thieving ways are about to be put on hold, at least as long as he is president. No Dem should take their dirty money. And they should Republicans who do on a daily basis throughout every campaign.

KR'd but someone didn't like this information for some reason. Me, I think it's great news. Let them go whine and when Obama reaches out to the people who elected him, he won't need them.

Obviously the fat cats aren't happy with his reforms.

3. Were you complaining when the money came in?
Did you complain when that money was used to defeat John McCain?

Oh, and shouldn't this really end once and for all the notion that Obama's only looking out for Wall Street's interests? Because they certainly don't seem to think so.

6. I wasn't against the bailout, but I was against that no accountability was setup
for that bailout, and those that created the problem were actually rewarded with bonus benefits, instead of being fired

I did not control when the money came in, because in reality, wall street gave money to BOTH parties, they always do

12. Bank bailout: no accountability, no conditions and no strings attached
Here ya go. Here is $700 Billion dollars. Please do whatever you want with it. We hope it helps you lots and lots.

No, there are no limits or rules as to what you have to do with all that money.
:wtf:

5. Let them desert him, if he does what is right, he will have more
important people on his side, and there are far more of us than there are of them.

It was a bad sign from the start when they DID back him. The sooner they go back to the side they belonged on, the better. I think they only backed him because they knew a Dem was going to win and they wanted to maintain their influence. Too bad Dems took their money.

14. Maybe he doesn't realize that he made a pact with the devil --
bright as he is. We all have our blind spots somewhere.
