Really

Why Isn't Wall Street in Jail? | Rolling Stone Politics: "As for President Obama, what is there to be said? Goldman Sachs was his number-one private campaign contributor. He put a Citigroup executive in charge of his economic transition team, and he just named an executive of JP Morgan Chase, the proud owner of $7.7 million in Chase stock, his new chief of staff. 'The betrayal that this represents by Obama to everybody is just — we're not ready to believe it,' says Budde, a classmate of the president from their Columbia days. 'He's really fucking us over like that? Really? That's really a JP Morgan guy, really?'"
