Reply #7: This article is really poorly argued and written

[frazzled]

"Wall Street fingered Obama as a socialist, seeking to redistribute its hard-earned capital gains to the lazy and poor."

Are you kidding me? Wall Street may be a lot of things, but it's not stupid. This is highly unsophisticated analysis. Or maybe it's just the writing that's bad: perhaps she's saying "one of the competing theories that explains why WS hates Obama is that he's a socialist." Yeah, the crazy Tea Party theory, which is not a theory at all but mass paranoia.

Perhaps Wall Street hates Obama because Wall Street is doing terribly."

Really? They're doing terribly? Tell that to the judge. She writes: "But they are not thriving in the way they were a year or even six months ago." Oh, so sorry: you were doing abfab under two years of Obama and damned well now, but you're seeing a slight nick in your ability to dine at Per Se every night and shop at Harry WInston because of new rulings.

I give up. I thought this writer was supposed to be smarter than this. As far as I can tell, it's useless drivel.
