Reply #8: Wall Street hates Obama for the same reason a super spoiled brat hates their over-indulgent parents

[TheKentuckian]

He occasionally mildly scolds them in an effort not to be run out on a rail by his own electorate, dares even mention vague, loose limits, and doesn't give them whatever they want whenever they want it.

TeaPubliKlans don't do limits on the wealthy no matter how out of hand wealth is nor how minor the limits are, won't bother scolding them no matter how much they fuck up, and exist to serve their slightest whims.

There are absolutely no upper limits on the avarice of these people, there is no such thing as enough. You tell them "the sky is the limit", they accuse you of being anti-business, Marxist, and/or waging class warfare because you are saying their profits must be finite no matter how absurd the "limit" is.

An important lesson to learn for ideological compromisers is that one cannot bargain with a black hole no matter how generous the terms.

Obama dealt with these petulant specters of entropy exceedingly generously and probably stupidly by not de-fanging the viper and in return he gets venom.
That does not mean he has been in the slightest hard on them and it would be well beyond the bounds of laughable to call his handling tough.
Just to get to what these greedy fuckers would consider "fair" treatment you have to give them carte blanc, to be a "friend" you have to join them in believing that even the world is not enough.
