Friends in High Places 'Obama's favorite banker' wears presidential cufflinks

BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff - June 14, 2012 9:16 am . . .

Embattled JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon wore his close relationship with President Barack Obama on his sleeve when testifying before a Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday.

Dimon wore large gold cufflinks featuring the presidential seal to match his navy suit.

The gold eagle is surrounded by the words “Seal of the President of the United States.” The White House has not responded to request for comment about the cufflinks and if he received them from the president or his aides.

Dimon, who backed Obama’s 2008 presidential bid, has visited the White House 16 times—including three personal meetings with the president—according to Politico.

He has soured on Obama of late, criticizing him for increased regulations. He has yet to endorse any candidate for president in 2012. .http://freebeacon.com/friends-in-high-places/

  • it's hilarious, it's turning out Obama is the biggest corporate hack of a President we have ever had.

    at least a Conservative Tea Party Republican American Citizen I understand the President is going to have high friends in high places and this does not bother me, BUT looking at the Liberal hordes of mentally disabled zombies, Obama is the embodiment of everything they claim to hate about corporate America and politicians.

    Can't make this shit up, Obama literally has his followers in a coma, t More..

  • If this is any surprise to anyone, you haven't been paying attention, the very same financial "advisors" that caused the INTENTIONAL global financial meltdown by insisting on "de-regulation" of things like hedge fund stocks and letting America's insane debt spiral out of control have been reassigned by administration after administration, from that industrial sell-out/traitor Reagan, on through to the Carlyle Groups' war profiteer, Bush Sr, to slimeball legalese master Bill C More..

  • ... and the questioning by the committee (especially Republicans) was practically apologetic.

  • Romney has been "bought" by JPMorgan and every other Wall Street firm too. What's you point? Should financial gifts to political parties be banned? I'm with that - who has the courage to push that into law. No one in Washington right now or after the next election. Where are the real leaders in America?

  • Washington and Wall St have an incestuous relationship, but the only ones getting screwed are the working class.

  • Obama kept most of his money with JP Morgan. Obama even praises JP Morgan is the most trustworthy bank. Joke on you American.

    • @cdlcrash Dude, get a life. It's not about the cuff links themselves, they are merely a symbol for something much greater, much more hypocritical, much more of a problem.

      I live in New England, you should change your map to blue dots over the cities of Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and color in red around them you dumb fuck. Where people work and pay their taxes they vote red especially on the local level. It's the blue dots and the government enslaved you insist on perpetuating, the rest of More..

    • @cdlcrash Thanks for the link. I don't know how I've managed this long without a pair of 1977 Walter Mondale Vice-Presidential Seal cuff links for only $195.00.

  • The financial industry went all in for the Oblamer and he helped them with bail out money. But the problem with Oblamer is he won't stay bought. But he still keeps his millions with JP Morgan however. That doesn't sound right how a communist organizer has so much money. It's always the case that everybody into communist organizing always has so much money.

  • Nobody can confirm with a good picture, so I am going to say "reaching for straws" as this could be cufflinks with navy, or marine symbol.

    Who is to say Clinton didn't give him those prior to Obama? Or better yet, rich boy GEORGE W BUSH didn't give him those cufflinks, I bet you dont think mr retardican? That is the person you should be pointing fingers at, if any.... fucking dumbass

      Bush is rich...but Obama is what...poor? You bash him because his proof doesn't meet your standard then you say they're from Bush with no proof.

      Are you trying to say you're not a liberal? So if I look up your comments on LL they'll be conservative--middle of the road?

      I stand behind every word of my comment, you acted like a d*ck.
