Huntsman: Romney Is An Agent Of The Big Banks | Hoping to make a better showing in New Hampshire than he did in Iowa, GOP contender Jon Huntsman criticized his main competition, Mitt Romney, as a Wall Street shill who will protect the status quo. In an interview with the Huffington Post, Huntsman attacked Romney as beholden to the bankers who have largely funded his campaign. Huntsman has advocated for more limits on the big banks, and said of Romney, “It is the fact that he has raised so much money from the large banks, the banks that need to be right-sized. If you are the largest recipient of funds from Wall Street, and in particular the large banks, you are not going to be inclined to want to change that model.”
