Is Wall Street not merely a symbol here? <br /><br />Making capitalism distinct from feudalism is like arguing about the quality of grapes while drinking the wine, IMO.FVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-78691324105838423212011-10-18T19:55:34.861+05:302011-10-18T19:55:34.861+05:30Circle:

Bush.<br />In 2008, Wall Street’s largesse accounted for 20 percent of Obama’s total take, according to Reuters.<br />When asked by The Daily Caller to comment about President Obama’s credibility when it comes to criticizing Wall Street, the White House declined to reply.<br />Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer says the distance between the president’s rhetoric and actions makes him look hypocritical.<br />“It’s almost as if President Obama won’t cross across a Wall Street picket line except to get inside with [his] hand out, so he can raise money,” Fleischer told TheDC, referring to the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators who the president has been encouraging over the past week. “That sort of support causes him to look hypocritical.”<br />It’s beyond hypocritical.
