奧巴馬對華爾街：這一次該著急

可以解讀為，總統希望華爾街有所動作，向茶黨施壓。這幫人不可理喻，他和民主黨談判談不進去。他2008年當選總統，和華爾街暴跌有關係。不知華爾街是否會配合總統表演？

Obama to Wall Street: This time be worried

Wall Street needs to be genuinely worried about what is going on in Washington, President Barack Obama told CNBC in a White House interview Wednesday.

While gridlock in D.C. is nothing new, "this time I think Wall Street should be concerned," Obama said.

CNBC's John Harwood speaks with President Barack Obama on the government shutdown and stalemate in Congress.
"When you have a situation in which a faction is willing to default on U.S. obligations, then we are in trouble," Obama said.

In the interview, Obama expressed his exasperation with the tea party faction of the Republican party, saying that their reflexive hostility to "civil" negotiation threatens not only the functioning of government, but the wider health of the economy.

"I am exasperated with the idea that unless I say that 20 million people, 'you can't have health insurance, they will not reopen the government.' That is irresponsible," he said.

In an exclusive interview with CNBC's John Harwood, President Obama admits that while he tries to remain calm, he is upset about his fight with House Republicans because "this is entirely unnecessary." He believes if Speaker John Boehner put a "clean" funding bill up for a vote, it would pass and the government shutdown could end quickly.
"If we get into the habit where one party is allowed to extort, ... then any president who comes after me we be unable to govern effectively," Obama said.

"One thing I know that the American people are tired of, and I have to assume businesses are tired of, is this constant governing from crisis to crisis," Obama said.
Complicating the problem is that there are potential negotiating partners in the GOP, but that the leadership is a prisoner to the tea party minority.

While saying that he doesn't make decisions based on the performance of the stock market, the president nonetheless said that the current impasse could have a huge impact on business. "It is important for [Wall Street] to recognize that this is going to have a profound impact on our economy and their bottom lines, their employees and their shareholders," Obama said.

Obama would not comment on who he's likely to nominate to succeed Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.

"Ben's still there's; he's doing a fine job," he said. The ultimate nominee would have to keep an eye on inflation and employment, in keeping with the Fed's dual mandate, the president said.

On Obamacare, the president's most significant legislative accomplishment, Obama said that despite certain polls showing it was unpopular with specific segments of the population—namely white people—the law would ultimately be accepted by the population at large.
Tenets of the bill are popular among "all races" the president said. "The majority of the people who will be helped by the ACA will be white," he said.
