NEW YORK - On the mental list of slights and outrages that just about every major figure on Wall Street is believed to keep on President Barack Obama, add this one: When he met recently with a group of CEOs at Blair House, there was no representative from any of the six biggest banks in America.

Not one!

"If they don't hate us anymore, why weren't any of us there?" a senior executive at one of the Big Six banks said recently in trying to explain his hostility toward the president.

"It's not so much just this one thing,” he said. “Who cares about one event? It's just the pattern where they tell you things are going to change, that they appreciate what we do, that capital markets are important, but then the actions are different and they continue to want to score political points on us."

1. Why the banks would hate Obama is a non-issue. They used him (willingly on his part) to

get trillions with no strings attached. And to gut regulation so that they can continue their thieving ways.

Now, they can return to supporting the pukes since Obama did all their dirty work for them.

Result is that the Dems are blamed for continuing the destruction of Bush* while the pukes get back into power.

Mission accomplished.

3. But it matters when someone posts a link to how much Wall Street donated to Obama in '08.

Funny how that double standard works. Apparently, the people who actually know something disagree with your perception of how much Obama has done for them. Let us know when you figure out whether that matters or not.

2. So why is Obama meeting with this guy

Sam Palmisano from IBM? Since 2001 he has fired 80,000 US workers and replaced them with Indians and Brazilians. He hasn't created any mobs in this country. And you do the math of how much tax revenue was lost by those 80,000 not paying social security or income tax. That's why we are in trouble and Obama doesn't have a clue.

4. Probably because...

anyone he meets with has some connection to wall street the banks,oil,etc..

No doubt there is something about everyone he meets with that we all will have some type of disagreement with on some level,as we are finding out day by day concerning our house and senate,too.

5. I wonder why-they gave tons of cash to his campaign in '08, and got off easy

after stealing tons more from the economy, and are now making tons again...their biggest problem seems to be how to hide the massive bonuses they are giving and getting...It's hard for me to see how any president could have been better to them than Obama has been...Did they think the Bush giveaways and looting would last forever?
