Obama Answers Schwarzman's Nazi Quote, Says He's Not Anti-Business
President Obama finally responded to Stephen A. Schwarzman’s infamous Nazi comments. Obama was speaking yesterday at a town hall meeting broadcast live on CNBC. Early in the video, Anthony Scaramucci, a managing partner with SkyBridge, a New York hedge fund, complained that Obama was treating Wall Street like a piñata. Later, CNBC correspondent John Harwood specifically asked Obama about the Forbes magazine cover story that accuses the president of adopting "the cause of anti-colonialism" of his Kenyan father. Harwood then mentioned the infamous Nazi comments from Schwarzman. Schwarzman, Blackstone Group’s chairman and CEO, in August compared the Obama administration’s proposed tax changes to Adolf Hitler’s invasion of Poland.
