Obama Threatened Bank CEOs with His Pitchfork
Inside Obama's bank CEOs meeting
The bankers struggled to make themselves clear to the president of the United States.
Arrayed around a long mahogany table in the White House state dining room last week, the CEOs of the most powerful financial institutions in the world offered several explanations for paying high salaries to their employees — and, by extension, to themselves.
“These are complicated companies,” one CEO said. Offered another: “We’re competing for talent on an international market.”
But President Barack Obama wasn’t in a mood to hear them out. He stopped the conversation and offered a blunt reminder of the public’s reaction to such explanations. “Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.”
“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”

CHILLING. He is the president of ACORN. Everthing obama needed to know about business partnership, he learned from watching “The Godfather”
You can tell Obama’s a wimp by his attitude - condescending and overbearing. Typical bully and self-esteem issues play out in his every action.

I'd sooner be friends with Don Corleone than Obamanation. Like he owns everything in the US and can hire and fire at will? That's not in his job description. He needs to stay out of it and let us stock/share holders make the final determination. Yes, some have made some fatal mistakes and need to go, but that's for us to decide, now isn't it? The only thing standing between the CEOs and the pitchforks are us, not the Obamanation regime.

I watched Judge Napolitano on Fox talking about this. I have an article posted. Here is the link I did a short excerpt from

Great article Bob A, Napolotano was a Federal Judge and has ruled on many Constitutional cases. ITs a shame he has no influence now, and that congress has no guts to stop this flagrant abuse of the Constitution. Abuse by both the President and Congress. It is almost like the document doesn't even exist.

Funny, towards his own nation and people, Obama is one arrogant SOB. But, towards the world, he condemns the US for being arrogant while bowing before leaders of other nations.

That sure sounds like a threat to me.

What an arrogant lottle man. The Napolean and Hitler characteristics are showing. I wish he would treat Pelosi, Frank and Reid in this manner.

Lynn, I feel the same way.
"I'd sooner be friends with Don Corleone than Obamanation"
I forget how many times he has done this, it might be his third or more, but he makes these stupid threats like the pitchfork thing.

Bob A., thank you so much for the link. Excellent.
Posted by: Wild Thing at April 4, 2009 06:05 PM
BobF., yes, it is really horrid for a President especially to be putting our country down like that. None of the other leaders of their country would ever do such a thing.

Tom, I wish he would too, oh that would be great.
