Wall Street Made More Money In 2.5 Years of Obama Than 8 Years of Bush…
Occupiers last seen scratching their heads in disbelief (or possibly because of the lice infestation).
Mika Brzezinski, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”: “New government data shows profits for America’s largest financial firms are once again reaching record highs not seen sense before the financial crisis of 2008. In fact, Wall Street firms have earned more in the first two and a half years of the Obama presidency than all 8 years of the Bush presidency. Over 85 billion dollars in profits compared to 77 billion.”
Joe Scarborough: “Wait — you mean in the first two years they made more than in eight years than in the Bush administration?”

Subtract the Stimulus and recalculate.
I think you’ll find that Wall Street was some of the largest beneficiaries of our tax dollars.
.
O’Blamey says is because of the bailout Bush gave to Wall Street.
Once again, more proof that the focus of, the purpose of the OWS riots has NOTHING to do with Wall Street profits.
Barry’s Jihadists are aware of this, yet they continue to destroy and threaten our system of government.
Why are they protesting at McDonalds and Burger King, when they should be picketting the White House (that is assuming that Barry is ever there).
How did they get Mika to report this??
Crony capitalism defined.
Wall Street can easily make money on a down market (just ask George Soros).
Matter of fact, if they’re smart, it’s the sharp peaks and valleys that give them the best returns.
However, Goldman Sachs and AIG, along with Fannie and Freddie have come away from the Obama/Democrat feeding trough like bandits.
I forgot unions.
hey stupid occupyers go back to your holes in the ground with the rest of the rats
Announcer: “The management of MSNBC wishes to state that Mika Brzezinski has been admitted to Bellevue for further evaluation. She has been under a lot of strain lately. We suspect Ms Brzezinski has not been taking her medications. Our thoughts and best wishes go to her speedy recovery. Taking her place will be Al Gore and Roseanne Barr to add to the conservative side of the equation. Thank you. Obama in 2012.”
Of course “Odumba” wants it all back for his re-election.
Have these fools seen the report?

THE signs seemed to point toward the end of Occupy Wall Street. The day after the city stripped the protesters encamped in Lower Manhattan of their generators and fuel, the Northeast was hit with a bone-chilling snowstorm that blanketed their tents and tarps with sleet and ice, and left at least one protester hospitalized for hypothermia. Yet the encampment at Zuccotti Park endured.
Oh, those stoopid facts!
Texmom, I bet after the show Joe smacks Mika upside the head with his shoe for reporting this.
Hate to state the obvious, but did Wall Street actually become any more valuable? or did the Fed simply rev up production of increasingly worthless dollars and watch Wall Street gobble it up?
Either way, crony capitalism is NOT the free market and must stop immediately.
I hope these two douche-bags are going to college!
