Over the weekend, an article in Time magazine highlighted the "five point recovery plan" being pushed by new White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten. One item in particular struck me as odd: "Making Wall Street Happy."

It never occured to me that Wall Street had an issue with President Bush, but a Bloomberg piece this morning gives more evidence of the problem: "Democrats outdid Republicans last year in attracting political donations from investment banks, brokerages and fund managers for the first time since 1994."

Said one industry wag: "When the party with no power can raise more money than the party with all the power, it means people are pretty disturbed about the country's condition."
