Wall St. Made More Money In 2.5 Years Of Obama Than 8 Years Of Bush

Mika Brzezinski, MSNBC's "Morning Joe": "New government data shows profits for America's largest financial firms are once again reaching record highs not seen sense before the financial crisis of 2008. In fact, Wall Street firms have earned more in the first two and a half years of the Obama presidency than all 8 years of the Bush presidency. Over 85 billion dollars in profits compared to 77 billion."



Joe Scarborough: "Wait -- you mean in the first two years they made more than in eight years than in the Bush administration?"



Brzezinski: "That's correct."



Scarborough: “Well, their campaign contributions paid off very well for them then.”
