On the surface, at least, there would appear to be some kind of groundswell of negative opinion against SEC Chair Mary Jo White. After all, an anti-White petition to “tell President Obama, loud and clear: No more business as usual – Mary Jo White needs to go” has now generated over 116,000 e-signatures.

In addition, as I’ve previously discussed here, activists have actually taken to the D.C. streets and metro stations to take issue with Chair White via illustrated “superhero-themed” posters and most recently through a “Dump (Mary Jo) Truck” that someone drove between Union Station, K Street and the White House for a couple days in mid-September.
