by Doug MataconisFrom the mouth of the President of the United States:
As first reported by Politico’s Eamon Javers, and confirmed by ABC News with industry sources, some bankers gave explanations for the industry’s high salaries, such as “competing for talent on an international market.”
But, President Obama cut them off.
“My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks,” the president told them.
I’d say that I’m shocked, but. after the events of the past seven months, there’s very little that shocks me anymore
H/T: QandO
Of course, it would be in bad taste to mention that it is the administration who created the mob, now wouldn’t it?
