As JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon sat before a congressional committee answering questions about his institution's two billion dollar-plus loss, an accessory to his expensive-looking navy blue suit and white collard-shirt was of interest: his cufflinks.

First reported on The Daily, Dimon appears to have worn cufflinks depicting the presidential seal. The gold eagle is surrounded by the words "Seal of the President of the United States." The White House has not responded to request for comment about the cufflinks and if he received them from the president or his aides.

Dimon and President Obama have had a close relationship. According to Politico, the country's leading banker visited the White House "at least" 16 times, meeting with Mr. Obama three times.

Dimon's clothes have been noticed before. According to image consultants, Dimon was recently voted one of the best-dressed CEOs.

If there is any doubt that Wall Street pretty much owns and run the America government for profits for a few like Dimon, stories like this should help.

The sooner we recognize the insidious plans of the Top 1% for the 99%, the sooner we can unite to take action on our behalf.

Ok .. so, I'm trying to find out about the cufflinks and reading along .. on a CBS news site .. and find he was wearing a "white collard-shirt" Really .. they make shirts of collard? How about collared, CBS News? Nitwits .. this is one reason why we're dumbed down in spelling and grammar - people unconsciously register this as "correct." My bad .. my eye just seems to land on things like this .. lol .. and I never found out about the cufflinks because of it. ;o)

This is the least of our problems with TV especially and the rest of our media owned and run by corrupt right wing crooks like this guy.

Stop, people. Work hard, and you can get a job like his. Hey, Jamie, they would rather you use the sticky goo in your hair and make it look messy, and a day's growth; or perhaps a backwards baseball cap. He didn't fly in in Air Force One. They're cufflinks, for heaven's sake.

Stupid comment. You think things like this happen by accident? No, the guy is telling us point blank; "I run the country"
Nieve, duped idiots like you who live in denial think that one can attain a position like Dimons if we "work hard" ?
You have no clue, go live in China you brainwashed toad. America is not for people willing to submit to deception and cronyism.

Good lord, that's tacky! Dimon's done his share of charitable work. If he had any class, he would have worn cufflinks from the Boys and Girls Clubs or the USO or AMFAR or the United Way....

He is not just a Wall Street Idiot, he's a political idiot. Not one CEO of the financial industry has been charge with any crime from this meltdown. We have the finest government money can buy. For all the Obama Bashers, this has been going on for decades. Figure it out on your own without Fox News.

Are you implying that the President took a bribe from this CEO? What happen to "Change" and transparency? Sounds like the American people where sold a bill of goods.
