Poll question: Obama's Roar: How Worried Are The Bankers?
Edited on Sat Dec-12-09 10:58 AM by MannyGoldstein
Today I read that http://www.france24.com/en/node/4946651">Obama proclaimed "I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street".

How scared do you think the bankers are today?

1. I only know one banker
and much like you he detests and does not trust Obama. He is personable, well educated and very bright but believes Palin is the cat's meow. As for bankers in general I have not a clue but would suspect they are somewhat nervous with this administration but not at the point of jumping off bridges.

6. "[...] believes Palin is the cat's meow."
What is he, 110 years old? Is she also the "bee's knees?"

3. Even when Obama says something that
should be something you'd want to hear, you're trashing him for it.

5. Here's an idea: How about drawing a joker face on Obama and posting it?
Some so-called progressives remind me of teabaggers.

7. Generally the time to move against the interests of big banks is before you give them heaping wads..
of cash. In fact, the ideal way of doing things is saying that they will not get heaping wads of cash until reforms are made.

8. Shouldn't the words match the deeds?
Time will only tell.

9. "I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street".
So then, why the Hell did you appoint such low life douchebags to your economic team, Mr. Prez? :shrug:
