The Democratic National Committee is taking an early shot at one of the top potential Republican presidential candidates, with a new Web video attacking Mitt Romney as “Wall Street’s best friend” in the current debate over financial reform.
The video depicts various instances of Romney blasting President Obama for blaming “Wall Street, or Goldman Sachs, or bankers, or wealthy people” for the economy’s woes. Also included is an old photo, apparently from the 1980s, of a very Gordon Gekko-esque Romney surrounded by other businessmen waving cash around, with some of them (but not Romney) holding the money between their teeth.
