It's ironic Wall Street is now socialist. It would be bust without the US government.

Not surprising.

90% of Obama's economic team are former executives of Goldman Sachs and Citibank.
Obama's current White House Chief of Staff, William Daley, is a former executive of JP Morgan Chase.
And his previous chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel is the guy who famously said 'liberals are effing retards.'

No hope, no change. Just business as usual. Wall Street is rejoicing.

Hmmm....

So is Obama still a socialist? Because if he is, i need an explanation for the whole Wall Street thing.

Obama believes in welfare, but only for the rich.
You know, like a Robin Hood in reverse. Take from the poor and give to the rich. Or a Jesus Christ in reverse. Obama also extended the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, indefinitely. Obama may be a funny kind of 'socialist,' but he's certainly no Christian.

I thought Obama was a "Marxist Communist". Why would such a person and Wall Street types - leaders of one of the largest capitalist financial markets on the planet - get "in bed" together? Can someone explain this to me?

Without the bailout, half of these Wall Street types would be broke, or committed suicide in 2008. They can't survive without DC help.

It's a form survival. It reminds me of capitalists turning Marxist in Doctor Zhivago.

Strange, that JP Morgan profits off every single Food Stamp transaction nationwide...

When Obama puts Angelo Mozillo and likeminded b@stards behind bars he's got my vote.
But, don't hold your breath that he'll be punishing his benefactors who, with the federal government's blessing, screwed the American people.
And Geithner's poised to send trillions more to Europe....and the beat goes on.

LOL yeah, Wall St. has their man, but uh, I thought Bush and the GOP were Wall St.'s people! Oh, wait! That "hopey changey" thing was of course not gonna happen. Obama has the same puppet masters as Bush did, right?
Why did Bush do a huge, stimulus package on his way out of office and then BO did one as his first, big act when coming into office?
