U.S. investors overwhelmingly see President Barack Obama as anti-business and question his ability to manage a financial crisis, according to a Bloomberg survey.
The global quarterly poll of investors and analysts who are Bloomberg subscribers finds that 77 percent of U.S. respondents believe Obama is too anti-business and four-out-of-five are only somewhat confident or not confident of his ability to handle a financial emergency.
The poll also finds a decline in Obama’s overall favorability rating one year after taking office. He is viewed favorably by 27 percent of U.S. investors. In an October poll, 32 percent in the U.S. held a positive impression.
“Investors no longer feel they can trust their instincts to take risks,” said poll respondent David Young, a managing director for a broker dealer in New York. Young cited Obama’s efforts to trim bonuses and earnings, make health care his top priority over jobs and plans to tax “the rich or advantaged.”
Carlos Vadillo, a fixed-income analyst at Wells Fargo Securities LLC in San Francisco, said Obama has been in a “constant war” with the banking system, using “fat-cat bankers and other misnomers to describe a business model which supports a large portion of America.”
I've been saying this all along, if you play class warfare and demonize those who grow the economy, it will have a bad effect.

Was this poll taken before or after yesterday's bank legislation announcement?

Most likely before, but the article wasn't clear, as they mention the overhaul legislation.bane wrote:Was this poll taken before or after yesterday's bank legislation announcement?

Hey Vinnie...have you thought about looking for a real job, besides fanning the flames of fear?

Fanning the flames? Pointing out what's going on, and pointing out how people are perceiving the way Obama is pissing on business isn't fanning the flames.pooldude wrote:Hey Vinnie...have you thought about looking for a real job, besides fanning the flames of fear?
But hey, just keep popping into threads and saying "VinnieKulick's bad". It does so much to solidify your position.
Wait, no, it does the opposite, since you never say a fucking word, you just come in, point fingers, and leave without contributing a thing to any conversation. You're the equivalent to the guy yelling "Get him a bodybag johnny" in Karate Kid.
Both useless and annoying.
