“His [the President’s] tendencies tend to always veer toward the left than toward the center. It’s not so much that he criticized wall street for the failure…I think it’s the fact that on so many issues that he seems to be very far removed from the center and I think that just troubles a lot of people that supported him 4 years ago…those that I know that I’m close to are pretty convinced they’re not going to support him this time around.”

Former Wall Street Execs. talked about Dodd-Frank and regulating Wall Street.
“My basic problem is, it’s [Dodd-Frank] not going to solve the cycle problem. There will be additional panics because it’s in the nature of banking to run businesses on leverage.”

Sound familiar?
It’s from 1982 by Rollins for the Reagan Administration.
“When you’ve got the Federal Government and a full cabinet agency so actively involved in education, they’re making decisions here in Washington that affect you back home in your school. We feel it’s better to disperse the money - to give it to your local school and school board, local community - and let them make the decisions.”
“I’ve got to be perosnally honest with you that the Education lobby is very strong in this town … it’s not going to be an easy task to get the legislation to dissolve the department. By 1984 I’m not really optimistic that we’re going to get it done.”

It’s election season so I dug back in the C-SPAN library for some gold and found it.
Ronald Reagan is hailed as a communicator. He could talk to you plain as day.
So what do Ronald Reagan, baseball, and the AFL-CIO have in common?
Well, that’s how he communicated!

“It’s not surprising that the main airline opponent of deregulation was Delta Airlines…which picks people up from all over the Southeast and takes them to Atlanta first…and people say down there, even if you die and go to hell, you have to stop off at Atlanta first. The way to get good service … is to open the market up and let people in who are willing to give that service.”
-Alfred E. Kahn, Carter Administration, 1980
