The fact that he is now turning on Obama shows that likely other former Obama supporters in the hedge-fund/private equity world no longer see him as favoring them. This is in direct contradiction to Louis' contention earlier in this thread that this is merely a intra-class conflict within the capitalist class. In reality, the capitalist class now seems united against Obama.
