Obama All Talk, No Action on Wall Street Compensation, Cohan Says

This administration is more entwined with Wall Street than any other administration.This is revealed in "The Obama Deception" a must see on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw

Exactly!! It is becoming obvious that Obama speaks one line to make Americans/Voters feel satisfied, but the his actions are totally different. Typical political BS that we have no choice but to live with.

Let's face it. Wall Street and the democrats have been in bed together for a long time. They scratch each others backs.

Obama is just continuing the 'in bed with Wall Street' that's been in place since the Regan Revolution. He is trying to move with patience and avoid an all-out war with the Ruling Class. A lot of us who voted for him wanted him to declare war on the Ruling Class and clean up the house. He's disappointed in that regard. I think he's afraid of moving too quickly and precipitating a civil war in America.

wow amazing some people are starting to see thru the veil!!.

Short-term thinking is part of the failed philosophy that is guiding America. Governments across the country are raising tax rates so that they can reconcile budget projections. Yet the rate/revenue curve is long passed the tipping point; higher rates will only weaken the economy and drive revenues lower. Yet, even now, after all that happened, these fools keep kicking the can down the road toward the cliffs and the sea. Sad...

Ike. Try English!!! It is a great language.

Obama is a triangulating politician who is forever seeking a hypothetical construct called the middle. The idea of pulling the nation together in such a way that we'll all be pulling in the same direction, as outlined by Obama and his Clinton team, is not workable in a nation where individualism still holds say. Obama is playing to a myth of togetherness, a collective that doesn't exist and the result is Obama represents nothing at all, except what some consider pretty words. This includes foreign policy, financial matters and domestic policies from health care to education. For more perspectives on Obama in the form of editorial cartoons http://www.saintpeterii.com

Obamas history is a campaigner, socialist and enabler for speacial interest groups. What makes anybody think he would change as president, or that the lobyists/clintonistas he has surrounded himself would act any different then they have for the last 20 years....Replace this CEO with one that gives money to Dems, continue business as usual.

maybe johnny ike needs to go back to school. I have never seen the english language butchered like that.

Reagen Revolution??? You have got to be kidding me! This relationship between government and Wall Street goes back to the beginning of securities trading. Read about how the wars of the centuries were financed for goodness sakes! Put the stinking agenda aside for a moment in your life and realise the middleclass is nothing more than the conduit to the public trough by financiers and the puppet politicians they endorse. What makes anyone believe Obama was not in bed with Wall Street? Just like any other politician, Obama needs these titans of finance to pay for his agenda ... and guess who is paying that agenda? Everyone that invests in the markets puts money in the hands of the politicians. Look who got bailed out first by the politicians? Oh, world economy is going to collapse .... boo hoo let's give them 0% "loans" and keep them solvent until they can bring us back from the abyss... yeah, you saw how that worked out, huh? You saw Freddie and Fannie, AIG, GS, BoA, CITI ... all of them got middleclass dollars and the politicians got the sweet re-fi deals, the lucrative investments, the paybacks .... The middleclass got 9.6% unemployment, salary cuts, foreclosures, and taxes up the wahzoo... Take a hike with your agenda and your worthless ideology because politicians are politicians and political parties help NO ONE. Looks like the middleclass still hasn't learned anyting from getting screwed yet. Maybe more of the middleclass has to suffer before they finally realise they need to move beyond partisan politics and start voting these slugs out.... Like that's going to happen.....

Mr. Cohan speaks the truth. Well, at least the financial Oligarchs still allow some people to go public without assassinating them, like in "lesser"countries. That is a plus, right?

johnny is gaming you people and you fall for it every time he is a modern language professor at cal poly doing research can you think of any better place to do it

Obama is all talk and no do. Impeach him now.

You are surely mislead. !@#@@ Didn't Busch give all of our money to Big Buisness , Big Oil and Halliburton a.k.a Dick Cheney!@!@

Capitalism is inherently risky.

It just goes to show that regardless of the circumstances , money talks. It is no longer survival of the fittest. It is survival of the financially fittest.

this guy looks like a used-car salesman

All you grand conservatives;, where were you for the last 8 years! G. Bush and his economic guru's took us to the cleaners with no remorse, and no one seemed to object to it. You reap what you have sown, and it was sown from 2000 on, so stop blaming someone who has been in office for only 5 months.
