It’s not easy being a Wall Street gazillionaire these days
By Greg Sargent

Nick Confessore of the New York Times has a big story in the forthcoming Sunday magazine about Obama’s sour relations with Wall Street and the impact it’s having on fundraising.

Buried in the story is an extraordinary anecdote: Wall Streeters are so upset about Obama’s harsh populist rhetoric that they privattely called on him to make amends with a big speech — like his oration on race — designed to heal the wounds of class warfare in this country.

Obama campaign manager Jim Messina recently met with a group of Wall Street donors, and they gave him an earful:

<..> One of the guests raised his hand; he knew how to solve the problem. The president had won plaudits for his speech on race during the last campaign, the guest noted. It was a soaring address that acknowledged white resentment and urged national unity. What if Obama gave a similarly healing speech about class and inequality? What if he urged an end to attacks on the rich? Around the table, some people shook their heads in disbelief....

OMG wanting the President to give a speech saying the rich are getting the raw end of the stick. Shouldn't they be looking to Willard to show how wonderful they are? He's so proud of his wealth and his offshore bank accounts.
