This headline suggests it could be ...

Obama plans to turn anti-Wall Street anger on Mitt Romney, Republicans

If that's the case, it's hard to imagine a better photo of the Mittster (center) showing off his Wall Street cred!

And the Banksters are giving to Romney instead of Obama this time.  I don't know about y'all, but in my view, that's definitely a positive development:

Alabama AFL-CIO Tears A Strip Off Sessions & Shelby For Killing Jobs Bill

October 14, 2011 by Left in Alabama

The Alabama AFL-CIO slams Alabama Senators Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby after both voted to kill, not only the American Jobs Act, but even debate on the American Jobs Act.
