A secretive meeting -- The left side of Wall Street -- Deep, deep roots -- "So, do you want to come to the administration?" -- "We know each other from Chicago" -- Doing God's work -- Fat cats and fat bonuses -- Money well spent.
A top reporter exposes the deep ties between the Obama administration and the big banks that are bankrupting our country. As the recession continues, President Obama has chastised the "fat cats" who feast off government bailout money while unemployment remains high and smaller businesses struggle. But according to Gasparino, Obama is faking his outrage. In reality, he is giving the Wall Street CEOs what they want so they will support his liberal, big-government agenda. As a result, the big banks responsible for the credit crisis get rescued, while small businesses and ordinary Americans get crushed by higher taxes and irresponsible spending. Gasparino draws on interviews with dozens of key CEOs and political players to trace the roots of Wall Street's twisted love affair with one of the most liberal presidents in American history.--From publisher description.
