CNBC says Obama is alienating Wall Street
Moronic discussion. How about: "Has Wall Street Alienated Main Street and the U.S. Government"?

Has America Alienated the KKK by electing a Black President? Has Obama Alienated lobbyists by not allowing Lobbyists in his cabinet? Have the Police Alienated Gangs by arresting them and putting them in Jail?

I guess he has then. The question CNBC always misses is: Who gives a shit?

1. And that's bad?
What is he expected to do? Perform a sexual act with them?

9. He'll be expected to when he wants to be re-elected.
Wall Street gave big to President Obama. They're shocked and awed that he's not all lovey dovey right now.

11. They gave equally big to McCain. They don't care who wins.
They'll give to Obama regardless.

17. It looks like the gap closed somewhat toward the end of the campaign
but Wall Streeters definitely liked Obama more.

12. It's shocking, or maybe not, how blind Wall Street is to it.
CBNC is just as bad, as Wall Street's tool, they just keep thinking that the President should stay out of Wall Street's business. He represents the American People. We are not happy with Wall street. He's just doing what his people ask as a whole. Wall Street are supposed to be the ones that know better. They let all this occur, and we're suppose to just let the Free Market Economy fix it all? No.

Then don't ask the taxpayer to finance your operations:

It's simple, really. They can do anything they want with their OWN money.

When was the last time you got a loan with no strings attached?
These are outright GRANTS.

Keep it coming Mr. President. :bounce:

10. TOUGH SHIT!
If you want to get some sympathy try doing something right instead of EXPLOITING the poor and uneducated!
You knew these loans were unsustainable but figured you could auction off the property and still make a profit!
Betting on forclosures is not responsible lending.
But you opted for risky loans to appease your Puke puppetmasters. Now you only have yourself to blame.
We should not bailout banks we should buy all mortages and nationalize them. Set the rate at 1% and throw all these BUM CEOS in jail.
