Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) told Don Imus this morning that some people think certain Wall Street practices display “a lack of patriotism.”
“They really had a responsibility, a financial responsibility, I think, to start pushing some buttons, making some calls, doing things. Not just sitting there figuring out how much they were going to make off the disaster.”
He continued:
I think people really just sense that there’s a lack of patriotism in it — there’s a lack of concern about the country. It’s just, ‘Hey, let’s just make our money and run. Devil be damned what the implications are.’
“You’re 1,000 percent right about that,” Imus said.
