Profoundly Stupid: Republicans bragging about Dems' falling out with Wall Street
Keep it up, douchebags:

Yesterday POLITCO and WaPo both wrote articles about how democrats are losing donations from Wall Streeters. Soon after, the RNC twitter feed (@RNC) writes, "Dems rapidly losing Wall Street support," links to the WaPo article, and adds the topic #NoDemIsSafe on Twitter.

2. This is why many liberals thought Obama should have reigned in Wall Street

Broke up the TBTF banks, reinstated Glass/Steagall, and in general put them back on a short leash soon after being sworn in.

They have no loyalty to anything but their own net worth, and pandering to them wasnt going to be a smart move politically.

3. What? This is happening because he DID NOT pander as you all like to claim.
this wasn't a failed attempt at pandering. And the next time you suggest that Obama DOES something, you remember that he has to go through congress and that the measures you rec'd failed - doesn't matter when it was done.

7. of course, if they successfully pimp the idea that "Wall Street IS Main Street"--a belief shared by
neoliberals, anticommunists, and wretched bourgeoisie--it WILL reflect badly on the Dems (though many of them are, in turn, pro-Wall Street and publicly agree with that idea), but only among those who believe that trope. The GOP and Wall Street conservatives of all parties (D, R, L) are great at influencing public discourse, however
