Re: E-mail from Charles Bremner (4.00 / 4)

Fair comment - I was aware of his larger fundraiser base as well - though not its exact sources - apart from Goldmann Sachs. It would be interesting to know why hedge funds were early backers when Hillary was still regarded as strong favourite - perhaps she wasn't representing New York as they would have wanted.

Nevertheless Politicians stop doing the bidding of early backers all the time - perhaps as an incumbent, Obama now feels he is not as dependent on them. He certainly won't get their support next time around - so Geithner should be worried as well. Interesting to see whether Elizabeth Warren gets the big job

Re: E-mail from Charles Bremner (4.00 / 2)

Perhaps, but we still lack any real evidence that he wants to stop doing the bidding of his backers. If regulation isn't comprehensive it won't harm the vampire squids. So why wouldn't they support him the next time?

Wait this is important. Someone is wrong on the Internet.
