From the article: The problem is much broader than Hillary Clinton, extending to Team Obama that promised hope and change on the campaign trail, including a break from Clintonite insider coziness. Once in office, Obama chose: three successive White House chiefs of staff whod made fortunes in the financial industry: Rahm Emanuel (amassed16 million within a couple years of exiting the Clinton White House), William Daley (JPMorgan Chase) and Jacob Lew (Citigroup/now U.S. Treasury Secretary). Wall Streeters to dominate his economic team, including Clintonites like Larry Summers as chief economic advisor and Peter Orszag as budget director. Monsanto executives and lobbyists for influential food and agriculture posts. a corporate healthcare executive to preside over healthcare reform, while allowing pharmaceutical lobbyists to obstruct cost controls. an industry-connected nuclear power and fracking enthusiast as Secretary of Energy. two successive chairs of the Federal Communications Commission whove largely served corporate interests, including former lobbyist Tom Wheeler now undermining Net Neutrality.
