Wall Street Pays the Executioner

After all the Wall Street bashing Obama has done, why would anyone involved in major Wall Street firms show up at an Obama fundraiser?

President Obama has been happy to beat up on Wall Street “fat cats,” but tonight he’ll be even happier to take their money.

The President is slated to headline a superswank, $50,000-per-couple fund-raiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee at Manhattan’s gilded St. Regis hotel on Fifth Ave.

The high-dollar affair will feature fine French food, a bevy of Wall Street titans and 23 Congress members – including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

Not everyone is thrilled that Obama and Pelosi are looking to use New York as a campaign ATM at the same time that they are trying to rein in Wall Street, the city’s biggest job and tax generator by far.

At least one ex-congressional campaign committee giver said he’s decided to boycott the event and will send his money to the GOP instead.

“I’m a New Yorker first,” said the once loyal Dem, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of inciting the White House. “We are depending on our congresspeople to defend New York, not to just go along with Nancy Pelosi for the ride.”

These fools are pumping money into the coffers of the very people who want to destroy them. Wall Street is about capitalism and Obama and Pelosi are about socialism. If Obama and Pelosi get their way Wall Street will cease to exist.

Some people foolishly believe they can buy favor from socialists. Won't happen.
