Shucks. Alive to the public’s sensitivities, Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman, John Mack of Morgan Stanley and Dick Parsons of Citigroup all choose to take scheduled commercial air services to get to their much-anticipated meeting in Washington with President Obama on Monday.

And now they have been delayed by bad weather, so it seems they’re not going to make the meeting after all.

This has nothing whatsoever with Obama telling CBS 60 minutes on Sunday evening:

I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street.

Americans do not snub their president.

It’s fog.

Maybe next time they’ll let the train take the strain. It’s a three hour trip.
