Wall Street's takeover of the Obama administration is now complete. "The mega-banks and their corporate allies control every economic policy position of consequence. Mr. Obama has moved rapidly since the November debacle to install business people where it counts most. Mr.William Daley from JP Morgan Chase as White House Chief of Staff. Mr. Gene Sperling from the Goldman Sachs payroll to be director of the National Economic Council. Eileen Rominger from Goldman Sachs named director of the SEC's Investment Management division. Even the National Security Advisor, Thomas Donilon, was executive vice president for law and policy at the disgraced Fannie Mae after serving as a corporate lobbyist with O'Melveny & Roberts. The keystone of the business friendly team was put in place on Friday. General Electric Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt will serve as chair of the president's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness."

Obama also supported the bailouts of a fraudulent financial system that is extracting wealth from our country and stealing people's pensions and homes. The bailout money was used by the federal reserve to create 7.7 trillion dollars out of thin air for their own private interest, and Obama has yet to do anything about it or even remotely care.

Obama's new campaign guy is a Wall Street lobbyist.

Is this the US congress or the board of directors meeting of Goldman Sachs?!?!? - Dennis Kucinich (the man who should have been president in 2008)

Well said! The lobbyists are killing this country. The government has been "infiltrated" by so many people that represent corporate interests that it would be a miracle if any of the laws being passed actually support the best interests of the American people. Both parties are bought and paid for. Americans need to wake up to this before it is too late.

Its the voters who are stooges. Americans are in a brain washed trance.

Shrinks can't diagnose this bizarre self destructive behavior because the shrinks are in the trance too.

Get off wall street and go march on Washington DC - that's where the problem is - block the "lobbyists" from entering the capital building and send a message to your representatives.

That's going to have more of an impact then shutting down ports or making it difficult for people who have a job to go to work.

Actually the problem is very much on Wall Street. But it is also very much in DC.

Considering I don't live in New York or DC, nor do I have the money to go out there for vacation to protest, I will continue doing what I can in my hometown.
