From Bloomberg on AC 360. Obama campaign manager to Wall Street:

'he will not demonize Wall Street'. Obama campaign to others: But he will point out abuses.

GOP pundit on CNN says it is double talk. A flip flop just like Obama on SuperPAC money and Obama being against lifting the debt ceiling before he was for it.

Yup. They are going after Obama full tilt right now. The GOP is terrified Obama will garner votes now while the popularity of the GOP nomination race and its candidates tanks.

There is plenty that happens on Wall Street which is simply the wheels of commerce turning in a normal and ethical way. There are also a number of things going on at Wall Street that are unethical, abusive, destructive and likely criminal. I have no problem with a President attempting to make this distinction.

need to bring up Bush every chance they get. I don't see how many Dems are letting the media get away with pretending that what America is going through right now is because of W.

I notice every time a republiCON comes on one of these shows and pronounces that we need to forget about Bush because its Obama's economy now whoever brings it up shuts up and they move on to how its Obama's fault. T

here are still many people who don't know the extent of Bush/Cheney/'s deviousness and why people are catching hell everywhere.

If Manchin,Casey,McCaSKILL and some of the other fake Democrats who are on the panel,the story is set with republiCON talking points and both sides do it bullshit.
