2) As for continuing Bush’s policies? True, However, Obama did sign a Financial Reform Bill that’s very unpopular with Republicans. Hence their cry that he is bad for the economy. This is the crux of the post: How can he be bad for the economy in the eyes of Republicans, when the very corporate interest they serve is doing much better under his presidency?
3) Legislative power by way of regulations are what polices the behavior of the wealthy, and this is where Occupy Wall Street comes in – this is central to economic justice, or the issue of the huge disparity or concentration of wealth at the top.

2. Obama has continued so many of Bush policies, it is hard to tell the two apart. Also, back to the old tendency to take credit when things go well and deflect responsibility onto previous administrations when things go wrong.

3. Fluctuations in the economy are carefully orchestrated by those who hold the true power.

2) You cannot criticize Obama for how well Wall Street is doing, because his policies did not create this.

3) The article points out the hypocrisy of the Tea party who at first rallied against the bank bailout Bush signed, but now they have shifted focus to Obama claiming he is making things worse for businesses. The fact is, that’s a lie. The economy is stagnant because there is no financial investment from Wall Street banks – they’re not loaning any money to small businesses, but yet they are sitting on trillions in cash reserves.

Any more questions?

Note: this is a question asked in good faith… I have read this post 4 times and are still thoroughly confused… In my mind if Wall Street is bad, and Wall Street is doing well under Obama, then Obama should be criticized by the left for being beholden to Wall Street…..

 Now things have not been so great for Main Street, but your post clearly shows that all the whining we here from Wall Street is a joke. For the life of me, I have no ideal as to why this Administration does not go to Wall Street and tell them they need to drink a tall glass of shut up juice, because they have done well in the last 2 years. Plus to be honest, this Administration has been a major reason why many of them bankers have not been literally tarred and feathered. They have blocked most real regulations, they certainly could have nationalized the banks, they could have removed most of their compensation as a result of bailing them out. None of that has been done, they have prospered, and yet they still are whining. These guys were bailed out, made better than whole, and allowed to, with little to no push back allowed to act as if they been harmed. While they should be faulted about this, the fact that they have yet to be called out on it is somewhat astonishing. 

Just to drive that point home here are a few links:
