A lot of people on Wall Street have expressed issues with the Chris Dodd’s little proposed bank-reform bill. That’s fine, and House Minority Leader John Boehner doesn’t begrudge them their concerns. He doesn’t much like the thing either, and everyone should fight it tooth and nail. But if he may, Boehner would like to offer some advice for any bankers trying to get their way. Stop being such pussies. Don’t take shit, prisoners or no for an answer.

“Don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves,” Boehner said. “All of us are hearing from our friends and constituents on lack of credit, you can’t get a loan, the more your government takes and taxes, the more regulations you have to comply with the more cost you have there and less amount you are going to have available to loan to customers.”

Boehner’s comments come as bankers prepare to descend upon Capitol Hill to press for changes to the bank-reform legislation, which they wouldn’t support in its present form. Boehner said he urged bankers not to be shy when meeting with the lawmaker staff members and to send a message that new regulations and taxes translates to into banks having less available for lending.

    @2 did i stutter? WS threw massive fund raisers for Obama despite his clear message of raising taxes and grabbing cash from several other industries. You guys didnt give a shit until now. Now he wants to regulate you guys too. Why do you think this bill is being written?

    Now WS has for the first time felt the pain of their liberal voting record and not my problem attitude. keep voting for Schumer and Obama and Clinton types and this is what you get!

    I know it’s customary for witnesses to give their testimony to the committees in advance, but is it sop for members to give witnesses answers to their questions too?

    Hell yeah! You fancy-pants Wall Street types deserve all of the shit you get! HAHAHAHAHA!

    Obama has shown supreme insight by trying to regulate you petulant children, to borrow a quote from my protege.

    Thankfully, he has also shown the wisdom to stay away from trying to slap a bunch of new regulations on health care. Man, if he ever went there, then I’d get really pissed off . . . and he sure wouldn’t want that!!
