@DavidAstinWalsh Obama was put into the Oval Office by record-breaking amounts of recently-deregulated donations from Chase Manhattan. He'd vote for a bank if any were running, but America's 9th richest person (ex-Salomon Bros.) is as close as current law allows. politico.com/story/2011/11/obamas-friendship-with-wall-street-067770Permalink On twitter.com

@DavidAstinWalsh We need to stop thinking of politics one-dimensionally. Obama was, by American standards, very progressive and generally good on every issue that didn't require he betray the banks, which he couldn't. Today, it's debatable whether 51% of his "legacy" falls into that category.On twitter.com
