Wall Street's Obama Investment

by David Bromwich
Professor of Literature at Yale



When Obama says of Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon, "I know both
those guys; they are very savvy businessmen" -- with artless pride
in the fact that he moves in their circles -- we are a long way
from John Kennedy during the steel crisis of 1962, after U.S.
Steel announced an across-the-board price increase: "My father
always told me that all businessmen were sons-of-bitches, but I
never believed it till now." No, Barack Obama would never say such
a thing because he would never think such a thing. It is not that
he is in their pocket. They are in his heart.

^^^^^^^^
CB: Ahhaa, so JFK was a good Dem afterall; he was against
"businessmen" in his heart. How soon until we have a ultra-left
revisionist version of Jimmy Carter ?

A professor of literature at Yale, yet, that anti-capitalist bastion -
we can be sure that he's not in touch with any moneybags.
