Obama Should Steer Clear of Cheap Shots at Wall Street: View

The Washington Post reports that President Barack Obama has decided to make anti-Wall-Street rhetoric a “central tenet” of his re-election strategy. This is a terrible idea, and we urge the president to reconsider.

Perhaps he already has. At the opening of the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial on Sunday, Obama said that if King were alive today, “he would remind us that the unemployed worker can rightly challenge the excesses of Wall Street without demonizing all who work there.”
