"There Are Enough Pissed Off People That Will Go Somewhere Else"

Moore Warns Obama

quote:

"Imagine Obama calling a press conference in the morning and going "I have decided that this year I am returning all the money I've received from Wall Street and I'm not taking one dime from Wall Street in this election right now." What do you think would happen? What do you would think would happen? Think about the support he would have.

Comment:


I am noticing this pattern of blaming Wall Street for the economic problems of today.  Did Wall Street cause the government to spend beyond its means?  Did Wall Street force people into buying homes they couldn't afford?  Or did Washington force lenders to finance people in order to buy the homes they couldn't pay for?  Whose fault is it, really?

Left wingers like Moore blame Wall Street for the problems that they had at least some hand in causing.  So, is it really the case that Obama will get a positive response if he very publicly refuses Wall Street's cash?

Maybe those who think the same way as Moore does will respond, but that doesn't include as wide an audience as he thinks.

Obama's best chance is a negative campaign and he'd better have plenty of cash for that, no matter how he gets it.
