NEW YORK POST: “President Obama seems intent on destroying Wall Street — and, with it, New York. Amazingly, the state’s congressional delegation appears quite happy to let him.”

Plus this: “Just three years ago, Schumer was frantic about New York’s fragile position in the global marketplace: “If New York goes from being the financial capital of the world to becoming only a regional market,” he said, ‘every aspect of New York life will suffer.’ He was right, of course. But in the wake of the Massachusetts revolt, the senator stands mute while Obama suddenly waxes populist. Gillibrand? She’s in favor of Obama’s hit on New York. ‘Nuff said about her.”

Seems like a perfect opening for Harold Ford, Jr. . . . And if you vote for him, you can oppose Obama without being a racist! Some related thoughts here.
