I mean it's great that OWS found out and did a demonstration there, but why was our former goofball pretzeldente there in the first place?

5. So it appears. They can arrest the peaceful 99% but not the criminal 1%

:shrug:

4. Getting their stories straight.

8. yeah, they know better than to do it over the phone!

[kentuck]

6. Good question.

Perhaps he is personal friends with one of the crooks there? Or perhaps he wants to invest some of his huge stash of cash from his days of presidentin' and wants some advice? Who knows?

7. They're probably in the process of putting him on the Board of Directors.

9. exchanging high-fives and party favors...

[Hotler]

10. He was there to pick up his cut of the bailout money.

No one is going to jail so no need to hide it. Nothing to see here. Move along please. Instead of posting on DU all day why don't you fuckers go get a job.
:sarcasm:

11. collecting his cut of the loot? Just a guess...

[Octafish]

12. That's where the money is.

What Willie Sutton said when asked why he robbed banks, back during the First Depression.

13. To tell them dirty jokes as he did with the Carlyle board that got him fired.

HOW BUSH GOT BOUNCED
FROM CARLYLE BOARD

SUZAN MAZUR

.... (David RUBENSTEIN/co-founder of Carlyle Group; former staffer of Jimmy CARTER: ) But when we were putting the board together, somebody (Fred Malek) came to me and said, look there is a guy who would like to be on the board. He's kind of down on his luck a bit. Needs a job. Needs a board position. Needs some board positions. Could you put him on the board? Pay him a salary and he'll be a good board member and be a loyal vote for the management and so forth.

I said well we're not usually in that business. But okay, let me meet the guy. I met the guy. I said I don't think he adds that much value. We'll put him on the board because - you know - we'll do a favor for this guy; he's done a favor for us.

We put him on the board and spent three years. Came to all the meetings. Told a lot of jokes. Not that many clean ones. And after a while I kind of said to him, after about three years - you know, I'm not sure this is really for you. Maybe you should do something else. Because I don't think you're adding that much value to the board. You don't know that much about the company.

He said, well I think I'm getting out of this business anyway. And I don't really like it that much. So I'm probably going to resign from the board.

And I said, thanks - didn't think I'd ever see him again. His name is George W. Bush. He became President of the United States. So you know if you said to me, name 25 million people who would maybe be President of the United States, he wouldn't have been in that category. So you never know. Anyway, I haven't been invited to the White House for any things. ....

14. Fundraising for crazy Perry.

Perry was probably giddy from the excitement of knowing this meeting would take place. That is the explanation for his overly excited clown act in New Hampshire earlier this week.

He sees the pot of gold at the end of the Wall Street rainbow.

We have to stop the Wall Street traitors.

15. Representing the Bush Family Empire and its interests.

If you search my posts you'll find I've often blamed Bush and his international money / monied buddies for our current problems.
