We have elected President Thug.
Politico dot com has a story today about what really went on in a recent meeting between Obama and some bank executives.
They tried to explain to him why executive pay has been so high. International talent market, competition for best people, etc. Valid arguments, although less so now that the banking biz has been hurt so badly and so many 'talented' people were caught by surprise.
In the meeting? Obama waved off all the explanations and explained to them their predicament:
"right now, my administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks".
It's a quote. The President, whose team has been busily GINNING UP the 'mob frenzy", along with ACORN and Frank and lots of other players, has now threatened banking executives with the possibility of some sort of violence from his rent-a-mob.
In other words, "nice bank you got there... be a shame if anything were to happen to it.... "
God help us, we've elected president Tony Soprano.
