Robert Scheer: Wall Street Wants a Refund: "Take the mask off the Obama candidacy and there was always a deeply disturbing reality that his massive Internet-driven grass-roots contributor base concealed. Obama was the first major-party presidential candidate since Richard Nixon to base his campaign fundraising exclusively on private rather than public funds. But the appearance of all those coins flowing in from the common folk denied the harsh reality that his campaign contributions established him as the darling of Wall Street financiers -- the very folks whose interests he served so faithfully during his first year in office as he endorsed, and indeed expanded, the Bush bailout."
