Update: We’ve spoken with several other conference participants who tell us the slide wasn’t meant to demonstrate how RBC sees President Obama but rather reflect sellers‘ current thoughts on the fear of the White House raising long term capital gains taxes.
RBC said in a statement: “This [slide] is not representative of RBC’s viewpoint. We do not condone this type of behavior; it is unacceptable and runs counter to our values and culture.”
___________________________________________________
Said thoughts were apparently shared at the Energy Capital Conference yesterday, by RBC Capital Markets director Craig Lande, via an interesting slide included the firm’s presentation. It seems the Canadians (based in Houston) do not think much of our commander in chief. Participants may have gotten this impression due to the image of Obama depicted as the devil (I don’t know though, maybe it was something else). According to an attendee, “There were a couple hundred people in the room– everyone was shocked. It was really awkward.”

How much resistance can Canadians put up? 2 days at the max!
The horns say: I’m looking for some ass to kick
The sole patch says: I’m looking for some grass to smoke
the moustache says: I miss the Village People
the smile says: fool’d ya’ sucka’
They’re implying hes a Man U fan. BFD.
“All right hosers! I want all 12 of us fighting for every meter on all 3 downs! We’re gonna make this the Boxing day the Prime Minister will never forget!”
its not like they stole the photo and made a 12 million dollars selling it to ass clowns who wanted it on their t-shirts and their cars
I don’t see a problem with the slide.

my oh my, kiss these US assets goodbye. I would ensure an independent oversight of all their operations in the USA by deploying at least three examiners per branch/office/trading desk.
something tells me they would rather retreat, like the closeted frenchies they are.
@1 you need to stop playing WoW
We’re dicks! We’re reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don’t like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn’t appropriate – and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves… because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don’t know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don’t let us fuck this asshole, we’re going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!

@13 Pelosi?
@9 I’d kill to see Kouwe open a hedge fund.
HERE COMES COW WEE CAPITAL!
@15 Lèse majesté is not a crime in the United States… and besides that much porn viewership would use up too much bandwidth.
The picture looks pretty close, but in reality the joker version is more realistic to his true self….. and I can’t resist – that wench Pelosi is a f#cking brainless piece of liberal trash.
Now I feel better.
He actually looks more Presidential w/ the porno ‘stache.
Suck on it Trebek. Suck it long, and suck it hard.
