Romney's Dodd-Frank Comments Shock Bewildered Bankers
Jeez, Wall Street and Dodd-Frank, get a room already!
It turns out that all of the Dodd-Frank bashing that Jamie Dimon and the other heads of big New York banks constantly do is just their version of how married couples might use a little light S&M to keep things spicy in the bedroom.
But don't worry, Mitt Romney is on to their perverted games. At last night's debate, he declared that a key component of the financial-reform law was "the biggest kiss that's been given to New York banks I've ever seen."
This came as a shock to Wall Street, notes Politico's Ben White, who writes that it
"blew up (his) inbox like no other" line of the night. One such email, from a "New York" bank executive, said: "Doubt that most folks on Wall Street would have predicted that Romney would have taken the most direct shots at 'N.Y. banks' at this point. ... If he'd named names, it would have been his top five contributors."

(4,551 posts)It makes me nervous when some people keep howling with laughter at everything Mitt says and putting all these rolling on the floor emoticons.
This man is DANGEROUS.
Don't forget that.
Laugh at him after November 6 IF we have defeated him.
Let's not get overconfident.

(115,833 posts)Mittens steps on his dick again. I don't care what anybody thinks of Obama's debate performance; Mitt is going to do himself in without anybody's help. All Obama has to do is stand there and let him babble.

(53,056 posts)Are they really that stupid? Of course they hate Obama because of what he has said rather than any actions that hurt them. Wall Street behaves like children.
