Matt Taibbi was interviewed by Rachel Maddow after the press conference and he offered this sentiment:
“It can be proven with scientific certainty that the one group of people that we know, absolutely, is not competent to lead us out of this crisis is that group of people. They’ve got us into this mess and they’ve proven time and time again that their solutions to all these problems are not the right solutions. I think we need a fresh look at this. I think we need to start doing a new approach. We really haven’t done that. I think the Obama Administration has chosen to pursue a policy that represents more continuity with the previous administration and Hank Paulson and all that crowd.”
So, let us make sure Washington hears from the American people whether it be by telephone, mail, email, or through the news media.
Let us make sure they know Wall Street had their chance to set economic policy and their “too big to fail” ideology based upon greed and self-indulgence must no longer be allowed to threaten the well-being of the American citizenry.
Wall Street must no longer be allowed to solely influence America’s economy.
Here's the full transcript of Obama's press conference.
