love Wall Street

very smart

Amanpour: Can the GOP and Democrats
get along?

Axelrod: No

Amanpour: Will Mitt Romney be the nominee?

unprincipled soulless corporate ghoul

nominate a true crazy person

George Bush cloned oil lobbyist in the White House

Matalin: Barack Obama is the real flip flopper

committed radical liberal

Brennan: Inside the Wall Street stock exchange
people are frustrated at not having even
more money for their giant risk-free casino

Tyson: Economists say Obama’s Jobs would
create 2 million jobs

Tyson: it’s full of their ideas!

Karl: even Mark Zandi doesn’t like it

Tyson: he was John McCain’s top advisor in 2008!

Will: Occupy Wall Street is about to go
mainstream with debt repudiation

Amanpour: wow

Will: that will lead to inflation and therefore
fascism and World War Three

Tyson: American’s don’t have great skills
like creating complex financial instruments

Brennan: we should protest at universities
for not teaching anything useful like
fake AAA tranches

Karl: the Jobs Bill is evil social engineering -
it gives tax credits for hiring veterans
