Why I Don't Trust Obama

Matt Taibbi and RFK Jr. on Obama's Sellout to Wall Street

Matt Taibbi and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discuss Obama's ties to Wall Street. It burns me that we have thrown so much money to banks that have utterly failed the nation and its people (and the world). Yet our "progressive" president seems to take their side on every issue. I cannot finish Obama's book "Dreams from My Father" (although recommended by my mother - and I read most everything she recommends), because I am so disillusioned by him. Not that I was ever quite comfortable with his quick rise to the top; but I wanted to believe, to give him a chance. And, compared to the previous president, everyone is a superstar.
