But it is now dawning on many among them that Mr Obama was serious about his campaign trail promises to bring root and branch reform to corporate America - and that they were more than just election rhetoric.

A top Obama fundraiser and hedge fund manager said: "I'm appalled at the anti-Wall Street rhetoric. It was OK on the campaign but now it's the real world. I'm surprised that Obama is turning out to be so left-wing. He's a real class warrior."

Lots more people than Rudy Giuliani need to tell Sean Hannity, "Hannity, you were right." And lots more people than just Arab diplomats are wailing in private, "But they assured us the rhetoric was just crap for the stupid!"
