MAN IN THE MIDDLE UNEDITED: Barack Presents The ‘Dog & Pony’ Show, Special Guests The Bankers

Trash talking on Sunday, timid as a pussycat on Monday, that’s Barack “Get Tough” Obama.  After all that trashing talking about Wall Street and the big banks on 60 MINUTES, you would have thought his meeting with the so-called “fat cats” would have produced some incredibly awkward and tense moments for guys like U.S. Bancorp’s [...]
