Obama in a private meeting with bankers.
But President Barack Obama wasn’t in a mood to hear them out. He stopped the conversation and offered a blunt reminder of the public’s reaction to such explanations. “Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.”.
“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”

And from the Twilight Zone of self important boobs:
Although he brought a lot of star power -- the talk of the week -- at least in certain circles in Washington, New York and London -- has been that President Obama is failing in his role as leader of the free world. British columnist Jonathan Freedland wrote in The Guardian newspaper that President Obama looks neither like JFK nor FDR but rather JEC -- that's James Earl Carter -- better known here as Jimmy Carter.
Hell, FDR wasn't "FDR" in April of 1933, for christ sake! Un-frickin-believable. And don't get me started with the hole Bush dug and into which he threw "American leadership" and moral authority ... The hole Obama has to bring us out of just to get to ground zero!
Argh.

epm, I'd believe that argument more if there weren't so many reports of accomplishment and respect from world leaders. I mean you expect them to say niceish diplomatic things, but they're far nicer than diplomacy would require, at times gushing.
....
Todd, I think it was the implied threat that he might turn the villagers loose on their castles that made me chuckle.
