OLBERMANN:

That’s all over with Republicans out of power, right? Except that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s chief of staff is a former Goldman Sachs lobbyist. Another Goldman Sachs veteran, Gary Gensler, is Mr. Obama’s choice to head that same regulatory agency that once tried to oversee derivatives, but who, at his hearing last month, refused to apologize for having opposed regulation of derivatives. And except that, as of 2008, Democrats now get more Wall Street money than Republicans.
