That's some startling contrast to be behold there: Bankers arming themselves against a feared mass uprising in which their heads will end up on pikes and brain-dead Obama's apparently clueless notion that corporate entities are capable of feeling shame for raking in the loot he has actually handed them via bailouts and the continuing unaccounted for help from the Fed.

Shame? They are giving themselves bonuses on the taxpayer's dime, for fuck's sake!

Another Epic Obama Fail!
