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

By Matt Taibbi and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Go Left TV. Posted January 11, 2010.


Once Obama took office, he sent progressives packing, and filled his cabinet with former Wall Street insiders. This wasn't the "change" that we were expecting.

During his campaign, Barack Obama surrounded himself with progressive leaders who believed that we could prevent another economic crisis by enforcing tougher regulations for Wall Street. However, once he took office, he sent those progressives packing, and filled his cabinet with former Wall Street insiders who want to keep the system operating out of the scope of the government. This isn't the "change" that we were expecting, and this is one of the reasons that the president is now facing an uphill battle to win back the votes of his base. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. talks about the presidents sell out with Matt Taibbi, political correspondent for Rolling Stone magazine.
