Pretty pathetic when a perennial backer of the GOP not only won't back any of the current GOP clowns but is trying to ensure they don't win.

Wall St has their govt right where they want them. Unlimited access to zero interest cash to place bets all over the world and if the bets lose they get rewarded with bailouts and more zero interest cash. Its not just Obama its every fukin one of them.

Wall Street and the financiers have always had a knack for picking winners in elections. They can read the tea leaves and they'll always throw their money at the ones who they think will be in a position of power and scheme ways they can keep making their dough. In '08 there really wasn't any doubt the voters were tired of the GOP and there would be a new posse. The most money in history flowed from Wall Street to the Dems and Obama for obvious reasons. Interestingly enough, the money from the financial sector is flowing more to the GOP this election cycle. These must be the ones that haven't been visited by the DOJ yet so they think they're still in the clear..

It never was Obama. It was Mr. self regulation GW Bush who didn't believe in enforcing regulations or having watch dogs.

As long as "money is speech" and "corporations are people", he who gets the most money to spend will be our President.
Don't like that? Then support those who are trying to get money out of politics, instead of supporting those who fight tooth and nail to keep it that way.
Fish on...

"It never was Obama" You have to be the driver of the stupid bus to even think that. If it was GW then Obama should have at least attempted to charge a few of the criminals. How many have they gone after? Do you think for a second they would give Obama money if they thought he was about to open the kimono on the whole deal? Every little guy in this country is taking it in the ass right now from every elected official. If you side with either party blindly you are no better that the guy that watched Sandusky ass rape that kid in the shower.
What happen during the S&L fiasco should be happening to every major bank and investment house right now. Their doors should be locked and people should be sitting in court and jail. Instead they have the keys to the treasury walk in freely and tell the press operators to print faster. On their way out every member of our government from top to bottom gets an envelope of our money.

Wall Street bought up all the Hope and Change. Then, they gave the Hope to the investors and kept the Change.

My how short some memories are. Just a short refresher. Bush proposed the bailout and he wanted the whole thing to do done in a three page bill with virtually no strings attached.
"Obama's predecessor created the $700 billion Wall Street bailout--to avert a total meltdown of the U.S. financial markets.
The 2008 Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) & Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was signed into law by former President George W. Bush on Oct. 3, 2008.
The $700 million Wall Street bail out was engineered by the Bush administration.
​It wasn't popular. But it worked. "It was convenient for some people out there to make a case that [TARP] was not necessary," Bush told RealClearPolitics last November, "but they weren't charged with the responsibility of dealing with a depression."
