Obama's Protecting the Bankers?

Speaking to a group of CEOs of the largest financial institutions in the country last week, Obama let his feelings about their large salaries be known. One CEO defended the large salaries, saying "These are complicated companies”. Another said: “We’re competing for talent on an international market.”

Obama's response? "Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that. My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”

Excuse me? His administration is the only thing between them and the pitchforks? Wasn't it Democrats who forced the banks to make these horrible loans which led to all this? Isn't Obama the one on TV every other day fanning the flames of rage against the CEOs and corporate greed, the purpose of which I think is to project anger from him and his spending onto someone else? Everyone I know who is mad is mad about the crazy spending going on by him. And he thinks HE is protecting them from people with pitchforks? Give me a break! Click here to read more.
