Wall St. Bankers Snub Obama, Duck D.C. Sit-Down Because of ‘Inclement Weather’
[Quote:]
Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, Citigroup chairman Dick Parsons, and Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack all skipped out on a scheduled dressing-down today from Barack Obama because “inclement weather” made it physically impossible for them to travel to Washington. Convenient!
Obama met with 10 top banking executives, or “fat cats” as he’s taken to calling them these days, to yell at them for not lending enough money and generally being horrible people. But the worst of them, Goldman Sachs’ Lloyd Blankfein, is among the three that are participating via conference call because fog made it impossible for them to deploy the billions of dollars under their control in service of transporting them bodily to Washington, D.C. this morning.

Ah right, and if they deployed the “billions” and chartered a private jet, then there’d be a post bitching about that.
Are those jets really the only available transportation for them? Did the trains go on strike while I didn’t look?
I’m intrigued by the fact that you credit these people with the prescience to know their flight will be delayed and they should take slower transport, several hours ahead of time. Maybe then they’re worth their salaries after all?
The article you linked to suggested jets. The article also suggested weather wasnt the problem, making trains somewhat irrelevant.
