President Obama, Stop Tearing Down that Wall

Dear President Obama & all forward-thinkers, IF you are able to extend a hand of diplomacy, "an unclenched fist", to the Iranians and entire Muslim world, you should show the same respect for the mustard seed of the free world; Wall Street. Your rhetoric on Friday was too harsh considering the unstable emotions and pains of equity holders/markets. IF it weren't for Wall Street, the United States of America and many other countries would have never attained such greatness and prosperity over the last 100 years. Please stop thrashing Wall Street bankers in public, it does nothing to stabilize our financial system. IF you can offer an open hand to Iran, a country with a thug that has publicly stated the holocaust never occurred and believes Israel should be wiped off the map; is it possible you begin to show the same respect & forgiveness to an area and people who suffered a tremendous emotional and financial setback after the September eleventh attacks? As much as we respect your intellect and selection of a balanced cabinet, we urge you to stop tearing down the Street that made this country great. You know the terrorists committed murderous-mortal acts on that bloody day in September, the day citizens of this country paused, cried, and began witnessing the fall of their equity stakes, and from that day ironically the downward spiral continues. We think your chances for a second-term will be damaged IF you continue to attack lower Manhattan. President Obama, we beg you to "unclench your fist for Capitalism, and stop tearing down that Wall on public tv": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLS-a98zfkA POTC has no problem with President Obama's argument, but we'd prefer he'd round up the bankers in a room and speak to them in private, as investors are on pins and needles as the market falls. We need reinforcement, not a public bashing. And for the record, there were bankers/traders that made a ton of money in the last year, so not ALL bonuses were unfair. The Psychology of the Call team never apologizes for our views, as we pride ourselves on calling it as we see it. Great week wished to all forward-thinkers and defenders of the greatest street in the world, long live Wall Street, its bankers, and its bonuses; three cheers for Capitalism !!! http://psychologyofthecall.blogspot.com/
