Finance industry (read: Wall Street) bets on Obama

[Si modo]

Don't really have access to the web but from what I've read the Street is giving more to Romney then Obama. They want Dodd Frank gone and Mitt has said he would get it repealed.

Not according to this report. Obama is taking in more bank from Wall Street than all the current GOP candidates combined.

Gee, I wonder if he's as bad for the "job creators" as the Republicans say?

Not at all for relatives of his cabinet. http://www.usmessageboard.com/politics/189945-look-whose-relative-just-got-135-8-million-energy-loan.html

Obama still flush with cash from financial sector despite frosty relations By Dan Eggen and T.W. Farnam, Published: October 19

Despite frosty relations with the titans of Wall Street, President Obama has still managed to raise far more money this year from the financial and banking sector than Mitt Romney or any other Republican presidential candidate, according to new fundraising data.

.

What this does not tell you is that although Obama received more than any other individual in the GOP field, Obama did not receive near as much as all the GOP Contenders combined. So, the financial industry gave far more money to Republicans than Democrats once again.

Read past the first few lines then you might not look so idiotic.

Well, we already know he has no substance.

At this point, that's a given.

Personally, I think there really is some substance behind him - but he's done a poor job of managing the narrative. Too inclined to please all of the people all of the time.

Uhm, you're joking, right?

Umm, no I'm not. He's probably the most substantive President since Truman. That doesn't mean he's effective necessarily.

Despite frosty relations with the titans of Wall Street, President Obama has still managed to raise far more money this year from the financial and banking sector than Mitt Romney or any other Republican presidential candidate, according to new fundraising data.

Obama’s key advantage over the GOP field is the ability to collect bigger checks because he raises money for both his own campaign committee and for the Democratic National Committee, which will aid in his reelection effort.

As a result, Obama has brought in more money from employees of banks, hedge funds and other financial service companies than all of the GOP candidates combined, according to a Washington Post analysis of contribution data. ....

Hmmmmm. Will Obama get in bed with the OWS or will he keep his bank (no pun intended) from Wall Street?

He might do both. If he directly supports the OWS, the OWS aren't the brightest bulbs in the box so they likely won't even know that Obama is Wall Street's favorite.

But, if he doesn't deflect from his record in some way, that's a dicey path to pursue for 2012.
