Boehner Rallies Bankers

So much for standing up for the little guy: House Minority Leader John Boehner spoke to the American Bankers Association on Wednesday and when the subject of new regulations came up, he told the bankers, “Don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves.” Think Progress points out that, in February, Boehner met with JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to appeal for Wall Street support by stressing that “Republicans had stood up to Mr. Obama’s efforts to curb pay and impose new regulations.”
