31. He Said Emphatically That He Would Reign In Wall Street

Yep, and he said it often. He would hold them accountable too.

Of course he did neither. The tip off was when he named his financial team, the same old Rubin gang who crashed it in the first place.

And accountable....not really. A few fines which were chicken feed for Wall Street, and usually with no admission of guilt.

He has been a huge improvement over the Shrub but that is no high bar.

And he is still authorizing drone strikes overseas that may kill a potential terrorist but may also make more by the collateral deaths. Just another prez who doesn't get the math.
