Oh Noes! Fox Business has something to say about Martin!
The last person Wall Street wants is Martin O'MAlley!
(snip)
O'Malley's campaign clearly didn't mind seeing him cast as Wall Street's worst 2016 nightmare.
His team sent out a press release on Monday highlighting the fact Gasparino called him "the last person [Wall Street CEO's] want running." It included a video of Gasparino's comments.
"This weekend, Governor O’Malley kicked off his presidential campaign and leaned heavily both into the need for more robust reform of Wall Street and for Democrats to nominate a candidate who is independent of the big banks," the statement said. "His position has apparently gotten notice." (snip)
In a conversation with Business Insider on Monday, O'Malley campaign spokeswoman Haley Morris described cracking down on Wall Street excesses as a "top priority" in the candidate's economic agenda.
"He made it clear that the number one issue that he has zeroed in on is that rebalancing act of getting our economy working again and reining in reckless behavior on Wall Street," Morris said.
Overall, Morris said O'Malley would confront Wall Street with "a mix of structural and accountability reforms." She pointed to a column O'Malley wrote for the Des Moines Register in March in which he outlined some of the specific policies he would support.

The DeMoines REgister column Ms. Morris is talking about has been posted in the group by elleng. Don't be afraid to give that post a little love!
One thing I found interesting is that these b game Fox business people seem to think that with O'Malley in the race, more Wall street types will donate to Ms. Clinton.

And have you seen how well Maryland recovered after the down turn/bubble burst as a result of his policies?
So he's for people making a decent wage ($10.10 is the min in MD), for the implementation of Glass Steagall, and got his state working again -
And Fox News has a sad?
