If I didn't know better, I'd say Bloomberg's Stephanie Ruhle doesn't like Lloyd Blankfein. While the interview doesn't rise to the level of hilarity that her Q&A with David Tepper did, she does manage to get in some cheap shots on the Sith Lord. Examples: "How bad did it suck to lose the Facebook deal to Morgan Stanley?" and my personal favorite, "Apple CEO Tim Cook will be sitting with the Obama family at the SOTU. Why aren't you?" To his credit, Lloyd just grins and bears it and actually turns in a pretty solid interview. He makes some really good points about deficit reduction and he clarifies that he ain't going anywhere when asked what he's going to do after Goldman with a simple, "That's just how I do...". Enjoy:

I love Lloyd
Love the facial hair, what a badass. I'm old enough to know better and I'd still work for the vampire squid.
Lloyd has inspired me to grow a beard.
Lloyd > Jamie
His particular beard look terrible but I'll give him credit for breaking rank with the schoolboy persona and dress of most bankers. I hope this becomes a trend, I'd like to think that being a man isn't a crime anymore. I'm all for women getting theirs, hey girls, party on...just sick to death of the metrosexual (aka, semi gay) dress code and behavior expected of us dudes.
Seriously, Lloyd is so effing likeable. No matter WHAT people throw at him, he keeps his cool, smiles, and says something that's almost charming. I actually envy that trait given I have a temper.
Not sure what industry you're looking at, but most bankers don't dress anywhere near metrosexual. Unless by metrosexual you mean wearing suits that fit and being clean shaven.
I loved this interview. You can tell he is succesful because he finds out how to please everyone, and not show favoritism.
Lloyd and this whole interview crack me up.
if you're bald, you should be required to grow a beard on wall st so you don't try to win clients looking like a walking, talking penis. bravo, lloyd
So with all this facial hair he tries to look like Bernanke, right?
Kinda what I was thinking. An homage of sorts.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Ruhle: Would you ever consider running for Treasury secretary? Bankfine: No, no one trusts me.
Well at least he knows, lol. I also kinda wish she worded the FB question "So how much better do you think you could have fucked investors than MS?"
Whats with the beard? Who does he think he is, Ben Bernanke?
