Getting Exactly What They Deserve

Wall Street bankers, shocked, shocked that Barack Obama, who received seventy percent of their campaign contributions two years ago, are now deserting him in droves and raising money for the Republicans instead. How were these soi-disant financial geniuses so duped by Mr. Hope and Change? Simple: They thought he was one of their own.

Mr. Obama was viewed as a member of the elite, an Ivy League graduate... president of The Harvard Law Review — he was supposed to be just like them. President Obama was the “intelligent” choice, the same way they felt about themselves. They say that they knew he would seek higher taxes and tighter regulation; that was O.K. What they say they did not realize was that they were going to be painted as villains.

What utter fools. If the Republicans have any sense at all (I know, I know) they'll steer clear of these bozos, and their money: they'll only be a millstone around their necks.
