Apparently a union in Boston takes issue with the fact that Blackstone isn't doing anything to prevent foreclosures. Plus, it's Thanksgiving on Thursday. And really, the opportunity was apparently too good to pass up. Holiday-themed "protest" pics after the jump.

@1 Yes. And someone tell these deadbeats to get a job and start paying for their homes. Oh wait, I forgot. Barry is coming! YES HE CAN! He'll get us out of the homes that we could never afford even in the best of times.

Get a job. You didn't hear them complaining about the long lines and being late to work on election day. They had all day to vote.

@1- Now that you've felt the rush of power it will be hard to settle for anything less. Just remember, without you there wouldn't be a second. Without you my post wouldn't exist. You are a creator, god like. Mull that the fuck over.

Everybody on this board is F'ed. These are exactly the people Obama is going to give money to after he takes it out of you pocket and mine. All of these people are a complete waste of space, Obama included.

Someone tell these people that Blackstone won't invest in their neighborhoods because they don't want to deal with deadbeat losers like them. And why should Blackstone get involved in a business that, unless I am mistaken, they currently have NO direct involvement in (residential housing/mortgages, etc.)?
Posted by guest , Nov 25, 2008 3:27PM
And Blackstone is supposed to prevent foreclosures because....?

These unions are total wasteful losers. Most corrupt group in Boston is any union.
If I see that turkey I'm throwing his ass into the harbor like the a crate of tea circa 1773...
Or perhaps dump him off the Pru...either way works.

The Republicans got foreclosed upon when Obama won the Presidency. Now they're squealing like pigs caught under a gate. When you can't do what your party promises you get foreclosed upon. The political deadbeats lost. Hail to the new Chief.

If Boston low-lifes wanted "PE fat cats" to go after PE then why pick on Blackstone's little satellite office?
Perhaps they simply couldn't locate the Prudential Tower so Bain Cap was let off the hook.

@30
The way I see it, security analyst consensus is pretty much that we're going to be hit by a terrorist attack (nevermind russia's posturing) like THE DAY he gets sworn in, sooo his whole transformation team is a show of force to indicate he's ready for it, and we won't be caught with our pants down.
That's me trying to see the good in it.
The not-a-democrat in me see's the HEY EVERYBODY COME SEE HOW GOOD I LOOK side of it also. And yes, it's very farsical, a total charade and many other belittling adjectives.

Has anyone heard the numbers for second-year CLU volunteers?
Posted by Anal_yst , Nov 25, 2008 4:38PM
Perhaps, in a show of solidarity, we should all take a day or two off work and join these people in protest and demand that these FATCATS!!!! pay our rent, subdize our lives, assume our mortgage/student loan/credit card payments, fill our gas tanks, etc, etc ad nauseum?
Perhaps by example, however unlikely, we can show them how ridiculous their efforts are?
Posted by guest , Nov 25, 2008 4:41PM
I believe this has already been mentioned, but shouldn't they go after the firms that atcually have RESIDENTIAL real estate holdings, BS is just commerical, correct? It's things like this that make me lose all respect for these unions. When you present nothing but flawed arguments, it makes it difficult for me to take you seriously...
