Rubin's baggage weighing the Administration down


William Cohan's opinion piece “Was this Whistle Blower Muzzled?” in today's New York Times brings a narrative that I have been pondering for some time regarding the Obama Administration and the formation of the Tea Party. Unlike FDR who was quick to lynch Wall Street, Barack Obama didn't, but should have. By protecting former Clinton Administration Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin's Citigroup an awful lot of misdeeds got swept under the rug which could have been used for show trials putting the blame where it belonged rather than as baggage weighing the administration down.
