Reply #96: Two Americas, I beg you pardon, the left elected Obama. [View All]

I backed Edwards as my first choice, but when it came to the election, I worked very hard for Obama.

With his appointments to Treasury and Commerce and the Federal Reserve, Obama has turned against the very people that pushed him over the top during the election. Obama needs to set a new course. It is not too late.

Obama's mistake was in hiring people from the financial sector to police the financial sector. There have to be economists with clean records out there somewhere, economists with no dirty dealings in their pasts, economists who are not susceptible to blackmail and extortion by the bankers. Where are they? Obama should have been looking for them during the months between the election and the inauguration.

Obama's choices, in my opinion, reflect laziness on his part. He did not vet his financial team well enough.
