Bloomberg - President Barack Obama will return to New York on March 1 for a fundraiser with investment bankers and hedge fund managers, according to a campaign invitation, marking his first high dollar event there since calling for increased taxes on the wealthy in his 2013 budget.
Hosts of the fundraiser, including Ralph Schlosstein, chief executive officer at Evercore Partners Inc., and his wife, Jane Hartley, co-founder of the economic and political advisory firm Observatory Group LLC, were assured last week by Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager, that the president would not demonize Wall Street in his re-election.
The $35,800-per-person dinner at ABC Kitchen, the first of the evening’s four fund-raising events, is being hosted by many of Obama’s top Wall Street donors, according to a person familiar with the matter. Sponsors include Blair W. Effron, partner and co-founder of Centerview Partners LLP; Marc Lasry, managing partner and founder of Avenue Capital Group; Mark Gallogly, a managing principal of Centerbridge Partners; James Rubin, managing director of BC Partners; Robert Wolf, UBS AG’s chairman for the Americas; and Antonio Weiss, global head of investment banking at Lazard Ltd.
The dumbass GOP candidates will be the reason Obama wins.
I swear the GOP is so fucking stupid it has to be a conspiracy to get Obama re-elected.
First of all Romney flip-flops so much that he could play the dolphin on Flipper.
Santorum's entire platform is based on violating the first amendment in the constitution. His goal is to change our laws to respect his establishment of his religion. Which is completely unconstitutional.
And Mitt Santorum are the front runners? What a fuckin' joke.
I do not support Obama, and I sure as fuck don't support the GOP. Mitt Santorum will be the reason Obama wins.
I agree. What a bunch of ass wipes the GOP have for candidates. Palin and Trump would stand a better chance of beating Obama than what they have now.
I'm a CONSERVATIVE,,, and hate to say that I sort of agree with you. Four more years of a liberal AGENDA will look like a groundhogs day for what is happening in Greece.
What liberal agenda?????
I haven't seen one in many years, and it is the "conservative" agenda that has us where we are.
You notice the liberals say all the politicians are conservative and the conservatives say all the politicians are liberal?
What we have here is not a left/right spectrum but an authoritarian/libertarian spectrum. Nearly all of the politicians in washington are authoritarian.
Exactly.
I've said it before, so I'll say it once more.
Our political system has been infiltrated by the libe(R)tarian agenda.
It's much more evident on the (R)epelican't side, but it exists among the Dems too.
Where is the liberal agenda? There is a recent news story,,, maybe you havent read about it yet. There is a $15 TRILLION DOLLAR LIBERAL DEBT!!!!!!!!! The one that the LIBERAL AGENDA democrats want to raise and raise and raise the debt. Yep,,, THAT liberal agenda. (what conservative wants to raise the debt?)
You are literally too stupid to insult. Go stick your head back up Limbaugh's ass.
I thought we had a balance budget under Clinton? No?
[Removed]
Obama is not a liberal agenda. Obama is a phony.
This video describes Obama's presidency and my opinion change from the start of his campaign to now.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSTEqHxh3fI
although I was rooting for Kucinich the entire time, but I did end up voting Obama. I should have voted 3rd party, But I had no idea Obama would turn out to be such a phony. Still glad Palin didn't win though. God she was an embarrASSment.
Who "owns" that debt, is highly debatable.
So that's a wash. What else you got?
In fact most of it went to nonproductive "conservative" causes, like banks and WallStreet.
It may be that that's the case now but you can be sure if the Obimination stays in office you will see at least another 3 trillion in debt before he leaves office.
His recent budget wanted to jack the debt to 4.8 trillion - how about we lower the debt by 4.8 trillion instead.
How about we start raising revenue, from the 1% who are benefiting from the deficit.
That's the same 1% who crashed it by gambling, and got bailed out in the first place.
No one had a serious problem with any of this until they crashed it, or did you fail to notice that?
Lets do this - lets take all the profits away from the 1% then what. Where will you get your government benefits from then?
The 1% are only a portion of the entire economy - if you took away all their money and gave it to the everyone else it would only last for 285 days.
Why don't you and others stop blaming the 1% and become part of the 1%. First you have to know how to do it and it isn't going to happen within 1 year just because you may have a college degree.
It takes more like 20 years to become successful and own what you want. Think about that comment.
So you did fail to notice it, and then you comment in the extreme.
Shall I consider you an extremist? If so, what type do you feel you are?
No, I'm only commenting on the way people think about the 1% instead of going out to earn their own wealth.
No. What you did, was attempt to change the subject, based purely on assumption, and then injected a libe(R)tarian talking point.
How is that useful?
So tell me what did I assume?
It would be easier to try and figure out what you didn't assume.
I guess you are right my asumption about how todays society thinks regarding the 1% must be wrong.
The REAL question is: What Con HASN'T raised the debt? And ruined the economy? Hoover to W!!!!???? Who do you think you're conning?
Since fucking RayGun (who turned us from a creditor nation into a debtor nation) our debt has exploded. Conned!
If the Con "AGENDA" was so great, we'd all be wealthy. Instead of the criminal transference of our wealth to the top 1%. Conned!
After 30+ years of being plagued by the Con Agenda, if we didn't have the safety nets FDR and the "LIBERAL AGENDA" put in place we'd be in The GREATEST Con Depression Ever! And probably another civil war.
Con Agenda! Con Media! Con Depression! We've been Conned!!
America has a Con PROBLEM!
Unite and Win! Unite and Win! 2010 Never EVER Again!!
Image and Vote! Image and Vote! "We the 1%" NOT What They Wrote!!
If I had a personal debt of $1,000 and I raise the debt by 1 penny, I raised the debt. If I raised the debt by $3 TRILLION,,, I raised the debt. The democRATS (RATS) force the debt to be raised because they have all the "suckers" believing that mother government is there to help. Mother government is a whore and doesnt care. The RATS agenda can ONLY HAVE POWER if there are poor. Without poor there would be no RATS.

shooz is kind of slow. he forgot that Obama has been in power for almost 4 years, with a full Democratic Congress for two of those years . Unless he thinks that Obama, Pelosi and Reid are conservative.
Still can't answer the simplest of questions, can you son?
Still stuck on the FLAKESnews talking points.
I have some news for you........FLAKESnews lies!!!!
About almost everything.
what was the question? the thread got out of order
As with most of them. It was one you can't answer anyway.
C'est la vie.
i think that you don't even know what you asked.
Your first mistake is in assuming you can think at all.
My mistake was assuming you knew what you were responding to.
Silly of me, I know.
don't quit your day job to be a comedian. adios
I don't have to worry about that. You should find one.
Although an education should come first.
Aita pe'ape'a.
its always a sign of insecurity when one uses a foreign language in their text. if you can't handle English well, why victimize other languages?
The actual insecurity comes from criticizing when someone else does, what you just did.
I'd work on that education thing, if I were you.
so when you criticize me , i can't criticize you back? And let's say i am 'uneducated' . You are a liberal , an occupier fan, shouldn't i be celebrated and embraced by occupiers like you then? i'm one of the victims of the 1%, one of the oppressed? Do you smell hypocrisy?
In your comments? You bet! What are you doing here if you don't believe in the Occupy movement?

Hypocrite.
What you apparently fail to understand or won't admit, is that the positive things which kept us from going into a full blown depression were enacted in those 1st two years.
So keep digging you hole tomahawk99 (-2). It is a long way to China.
If those things that you say are so positive why are there millions of people out of work? It's going to take another 8 years to get the unemployment rate back down to 4%.
The GDP is hoovering around 2.5% and that isn't going to change anytime soon. So, tell me where is all the "positive things".
Go to the unemployment lines and ask those people or ask the millions who have lost their homes. He preached change and people got change - that's whats left in their pockets and nothing more.
Again don't discount the damage done prior to Obama taking office. Don't discount the affect of having a major portion of the middle class living paycheck to paycheck due to unequivelant pay prior to the meltdown, and currently to this day. If you have a weak payroll economy you do not have strength and flexibility. You have a dive towards the bottom when something goes wrong because there is no flex there is no economic reserve. The people in the unemployment lines are the ones who most certainly know that the current system is not in their favor, except for extended unemployment benefits.
Why then is it that at least 70% of the working class are doing just fine and are paying their bills.
I have never had a problem paying my bills over the last 8 years why do you think that is so? And I don't have a college degree but yet own my own house, own 3 vehicles, 2 boats and a motercycle - and I am not part of the 1%.
Think maybe it was because I managed to make myself employable by being "multi-tasked" instead of just being satisfied with knowing how to do just one job like a lot of people do?
If (if) what you say is true, then consider yourself to be fortunate. Your circumstances and experiences are not standard. Many people are still losing their homes today, and it would take a minor blip in the economy compared to the original meltdown to see many more made homeless.
Why is it not a "standard"? Too many people think they should have everything right now instead of having to wait while they work for it. I built up my wealth gradually, not "instantaneously" like most people think that's the way it should be.
That's the reason our economy is in the dumps, people are into debt up to their eyeballs and are now expecting the government to bail them out.

I support the occupy movement, it has some good points, but i don't like the extreme wings that hate, push violence, and don't want to listen to others.
I see you are making progress on that hole of yours. Yesterday you were (-2) today (-13). Not a whole lot of progress, but you are moving in your chosen direction. Good for you. Stick to your guns.
BTY : no one here who is a supporter of Occupy or the 99% pushes violence. True supporters ( not attackers from the status-quo ) support peaceful protest and action.
Good for you, i'm glad that you aren't violent or some crazy anarchist or communist. Now if you could improve on your writing , this digging a hole thing is really silly and makes you look stupid as you offer no arguments to defend anything you say or debate anything i say.
You should be happy anyway looks like i'm shovel ready with my digging, just like your Obama told us to be.
we are still in a recession after 4 years with a huge government deficit. 'Things could be worse' attitude straight from Obama. Plus a lot of the bailouts started with Bush.
The last two years with a stonewalled Congress. Blocked from moving forward by some very visible members of Congress. This is exactly why we are here. We are here fighting to return government to the people for which it was created.
Obama's talking points? everything would be fine if it weren't for those pesky republicans in the House (Senate is Democrat). Obama had both houses for two years and chose to spend it on the worthless obamacare. Exactly what do you mean by 'moving forward'? i.e. exactly what legislation was blocked that was going to solve all of our problems?
Oh gimme a break. Go blind march in support of the corrupt somewhere else, where you might have a more receptive audience, say like in your fantasies.
Loser. Can't even debate, just take stuff from white house talking points.
Mouthpiece for the corrupt. Go play with yourself.
Vulgarity, a sign of low iq
I guess that "would" be your opinion, because if you act like this normally you must receive a lot of it. Well whatever you need to do to feel good about yourself while you go around denying the truth. I mean it must be lonely being a hole digger and all.
What is the truth? You don't even know what legislation was blocked.
One real easy one comes to mind - Blocking the passing of a tax cut for the working class while letting the rich tax benefits lapse. You know allowing proper taxation of the wealthy while giving a break to the needy. Ring any bells?
Easily one of the worst elections in American history, in my opinion. Although Al Gore vs GW Bush was really fucked up.
Obama is not a liberal. A real liberal would be speaking out against the bullshit. A real liberal wouldn't appoint Monsanto to the FDA. A real liberal wouldn't be getting law suits filed against their administration by the ACLU for war crimes. A real liberal wouldn't violate the constitution or even the war power's resolution and bypass the congress to go to war. A real liberal wouldn't have supported the bailouts instead of looking for a real solution. A real liberal wouldn't continue the Bush war legacy. A real liberal uses diplomacy over aggression and war tactics. A real liberal is not Obama. Obama is a centrist. A real liberal wouldn't have a Wall Street lobbyist as their campaign manager.
If Obama was a real liberal he'd be saying things like this

Men like Dennis are true liberals. Anyone else is just a phony trying to push forward the "1%'s" agenda. Most people voting for Obama is voting for him just because they really hate the GOP. That's because the only thing worse than Obama is a GOP president. If conservatives were smarter, Ron Paul would be leading the boards over Mitt Santorum. I disagree with a lot of aspects of Paul's platform, but he's not a phony like Mitt Santorum.
what does conservative mean? and GW bush was "conservative" with his medicare part D, drunk sailor spending on stupid things like wars, creating DHS--so shut up with that tired old irrelevant dichotomy--it never meant anything. i understand for stupid sheeple, it makes life simple when you are propagandized by MSM into thinking the world is black or white, D or R--but it's not reality.
I thought CHANGE meant not doing what Bush did???? Yet you bring up Bush as if he was still the president.
i agree obama has failed to deliver... but he's the only person running who will not completely destroy the country.
"obama has failed" you say. "the only one who will not destroy the country", you say. WOW,,,, sounds like you love failure.
[Removed]
Sadly, Santorum looks better to me than Obama because at least he is against the NDAA.
No one in a sweater vest can look better than anyone.
No, we as a Movement should stay out of electoral politics. We have nothing to gain, and expose ourselves, in our developmental phase, to co- option. Capitalism is a violent revolutionary ideology. We must stay out of it and build a Working Class Movement on our own separate foundation.
Give to Caesar what is Caesar, and then Occupy everything else.
Capitalism is BAD. I suggest everyone get rid of their Apple, Dell computers and Iphones,,,,, TODAY.. Show them how much tbuontempo in NJ cares.
Why would someone get rid of their computer?

It doesn't matter who wins the election.
Vote out All Incumbents. Incuding Obama. He is bought and paid for by big Corps and Wall st.
I have a very good rep, Martin Heinrich, who will be running for the senate this year and he has my support. It is stupid to vote out good incumbents.
With an approval rating of 10% how can you find one?
Well, I give congress overall a low approval rating too, even though I approve of my representative's performance. I wish there were more like him.
Vote against a liberal agenda that reflects what is happening in Greece as we watch. Liberalism is the cancer of this world.
What you're seeing is not liberalism. Austerity measures are the opposite of a real liberal agenda. Like I said, the current administration is not a liberal agenda.
HR 2990 is a liberal agenda and it abolishes the federal reserve and aims to create a full employment economy.
Austerity is the measure taken to counter what liberalism has done. CUTS,, is what austerity does. Cuts to liberal agenda.
It's going great in Greece eh?
You are correct, it is not going great in Greece thanks to liberalism and austerity is the cure. Other countries can live within their means,,, Greece will have to do it too. America is about to find out.
Or we would just not let the banks have the power they have. We could stop wasting trillions on wars. We were doing fine until 1999 before the Financial Modernization Act passed, and before the Bush tax cuts, and before the wars. Those 3 things, are not liberal moves.
HR 2990 is the solution.
Really? Bush caused the problems in Greece? HR 2990 will solve the Greece liberal problem? You sure know a lot of Greece.
We're talking about the USA and how not to end up in a similar situation as Greece, don't be childish.
Congress actually caused most of our problems as they are the people passing laws and tax codes. But it doesn't help when a president doesn't use his veto power for something that will put us in debt. And it also doesn't help when presidents violate the constitution or even the war powers resolution and get us involved in wars that we can't afford.
violates the constitution? I thought Congress voted on October 16, 2002 to authorize the war on Iraq. What did they do on that day?
Stop trying to put words in my mouth. Everything I've mentioned includes the time frame of 1999 to the present, which includes Bush and Obama. Iraq was not a threat to the US in 2001 nor in 2002. That was all a lie. Iraq did not attack the US either. Libya was unconstitutional, and don't forget about all the war crimes committed under the Bush and Obama administrations.
I didnt put any words in your mouth. I just took a look at a calendar. You said you were talking about 1999 to present. On my calenday, October 16, 2002 is,,,,,,,welll,,, in that area. And,,,, I think Congress,,,,, approved the war.
You're hopeless. I was trying to have a real conversation with you. But it seems you want to dance around and waste time.
Dancing? I dont think I can put more facts in than I did. What part of facts do you think are dancing? You said Bush started an illegal war and all responded with was the date that proved YOU were wrong. What are you dancing to?
These four men REQUIRE that you vote for Obama
If you don’t believe them,
…….ask Newt Gingrich or John McCain about Citizens United
OR
…….ask the family of any soldier killed in Iraq about bush v Gore
OR
Are you afraid to
……tell me why supreme court appointments make no difference ?
If you cannot see the difference between the democrats and the Rs –
.……and believe that President Gore would invade Iraq, or NOT read his PDBs –
…………..………………………………………………..you are blind
If you want to do what Davis & Lee failed to do
……………..……………………………………….…….you are crazy
We need just ONE more law to straighten everything out! And here it is!
Any person occupying the public trust (Teachers, preachers, journalists, politicians; those who hold the trust of the public ear) who knowingly lie or mislead the public for any agenda will be considered a felon.
Please do not bombard me with first amendment rights. The first amendment only give you the right to speak...It does NOT convey the right to lie knowingly.
I'd say lying to the public in this highly connected environment is tantamount to yelling fire in a crowded theater. But the press would probably argue that such a law would have a chilling effect on the journalists and the other publicly trusted people when they professionally speak to their fellow citizens. Everyone in those positions can argue that though the threat of felony, they would be forced to only parrot the official response. Now both arguments are extreme but Those would be the precedents that would apply, the crowded theater and the chilling effect. But i like it.
Tell that to FLAKESnews.
Where lying is the business of the day.
The problem is that it is the business of the day for all those in the public trust. They lie with impunity. It is the source of all of our problems today.
Tell me about it, but it was FLAKESnews that sued to assure it's impunity from blatantly lying, in ways that sway the public away from the truth..
Every politician, when elected, takes an oath to protect and uphold the constitution. Violation of the constitution is treason. Treason is a capital offense.
Saying that is a long way from enforcing their oath. They lie. Admit it.
Are you stupid?
Since you are unable to connect the dots ... if elected officials violate their sworn oath to uphold and defend the constitution, they commit treason. Treason is a capital offense. A capital offense is punishable by death.
Voting for the NDAA (which allows indefinite detention of US citizens without reasonable cause or due process), or any other legislation that violates the constitution is a violation of their sworn oath.
Since 86 US Senators and 322 Representatives voted for the NDAA, I call for their immediate detainment (as authorized by the NDAA) and summary execution for treason.
Oh, I connected the dots all right. But, as always, who will enforce this law?
I sort of agree with you. With political figures there should be "some type" of contract that they sign with US. "If elected, I will stop, (what ever)" First, if you are a U.S. Rep or Senator, your vote is only as good as the majority vote. "If elected, I will (cut spending), (raise taxes)". Really,,,,,,, YOU have the power to do that,,,, dont think so. I dont like obama, but he said if elected his presidency would be the most transparent, he would sit down with those that hate us around the world and convince them that they should love us, solve the economy problems. He has done none. Bush had his failures,, just to clarify my point. I think they should sign a contract that says, "If I didnt do what I said,,,,, I'm NOT ALLOWED a second term even if I could run again." They all lie and we allow it. Journalists are the worse and distorting the truth.

When "O" visits Wall Street on March 1 I hope all your OWS folks will be there to welcome him to the hood. (I cant make this crap up )
Four more years! Four more years!
I voted for Obama in 2008. Why should I vote for the NDAA traitor again? The NDAA makes Obama a dictator, not a president. Presidents have legal limits. The NDAA erased those limits.
Fuckin right on!
Obama has been a Judas Goat for the military invasion of Iran all along. History is repeating. Obama is the new LBJ. LBJ distracted Americans with phoney civil rights laws while he invaded Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Now Obama distracts Americans with meaningless issues like gay marriage, gay sex in the military, and amnesty for Mexican invaders, while he clears the chess board for a full scale invasion of Iran. You don't like that? Too bad slave. Shut up or Obama will kidnap you with the NDAA and send you to a secret prison in IRAN.
Sadly, OWS has been used by liberals to rally Obama support. And OWS does nothing about it. They are just letting it happen. Union paid trolls all over the net attacking anyone who is GOP or Christian. It is sad sad sad.
And what's amazing about it is that Obama accommodates Wall Street at every opportunity. He's everything that OWS supposedly rallies against. Yet, because he has a "D" next to him his name and not an "R", it's OK.
I do not want to see Obama re-elected.
I want a president that will provide the American people with The Truth and a real adherence to the Constitution.
I will be voting for Ron Paul in 2012, even if I have to write him again, like I did in 2008.
That makes two of us. I'm writing him in too.. Fuc Romney
I defy anyone to produce the name of a previous president who can better this record! Who said Obummer hasn't done anything?
An impressive list of accomplishments!
. First President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it.
. First President to golf 73 separate times in his first two and a half years in office, 90 to date & counting.
IN GOD WE TRUST
Great Post !!!!! do any of the ows regulars support what this president has done ?
Not to many
Excellent post,thanks.
Four more YEARS!!!!! (in 3 more years we will be asking Greece for help.)
If he gets another term we will be like Greece in less than three years
WTF? we ARE greece... we overspent, the bill's due and our pockets are empty. thank GW bush--who caused the first $8T debt and even said on TV that "debt doesn't matter, deficits don't matter"--he's the primary cause of this entire mess. obama continued wars that we couldn't get out of and save face, and he added to it trying to pull out of recession.
Obama added to the deficit by his failed policies, he is not a leader but worthless trash. The sad part is that there is not a candidate running that is any better than he is
absolutely... the sad thing is that the highly competent and productive successes are not drawn to the job--they'd never run.
Between you and me, I think they should all get kicked out, both sides of congress are useless. As far as the next President they should just have a reality show called "Who wants to be President" The average Joe on the street would probably do better that half of the current nitwits
OMG: great idea~!:):):) I'd support that.
Based on your comments,,, there is no doubt you are liberal,,, you think Bush spent like a liberal,,, so you like Bush.
my political views, unlike most peoples', transcend that silly, meaningless distinction since they are well-developed, highly sophisticated, and always right:) the last one is pure folly:). and no i hated every minute bush was in office.
Oh for..... You just don't get it. Just stop.
Your buddy is reaching out to Wall Street to get him re-elected. You MUST love that,,,,, right?
in no prior election since 1890 was wall street NOT a primary campaign contribution. it has basically always happened.
I know,,, but it MUST be different,,, seeing how much we HATE wall street. You MUST agree??????? You cant be a hypocrite,, can you???? We dont want him to get money from them,,,,, i thought.
for sure, but it's just not realistic... he would be at a terrible disadvantage,,, that said, i know they want him to make calls to the regulators like the SEC, CFTC, OCC, FED, etc... and tell them to draft new Dodd-Frank regs. that go easy on them--and they'll get their wish, and viola! nothing's fixed, and they can continue their capers stealing from us.
I guess I thought wrong. I thought if obama came to NY to raise money to support his agenda he would have raised all the money he needed by visiting all the OWS parks and getting his huge donations there. Wall Street,,,,,,,,,,, to raise money for re-election,,,,,,, you have got to be nuts to praise that.
Get that phoney brotha out of the Whitehouse. Sonnabich ain't nevah done a days work in his Indonesian life.
