Obama’s Cabinet Was Built By A Wall Street Banker

Well, well, well, what do we have here?

It seems that the President who claimed he was all for Main Street, and was willing to take on Wall Street was telling bold-faced lies the whole time.

It turns out that Barack Obama’s Presidential Cabinet positions were filled not by an everyday layman, not at the advice of someone who can relate to the average middle-class American, but by a Wall Street Executive of Citibank. And the best part about it is that he made these recommendations while holding an executive position!

Zero Hedge reported:

Perhaps the most startling discovery of the WikiLeaks dumps so far didn’t come from the most recent emails surrounding the various Hillary scandals, though there are many great ones, but from 2008 when John Podesta served as co-chair of President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team. The email came from Michael Froman, a former Citibank executive, who single-handedly built the entire cabinet of what was supposed to be the “main street” President.

The email in question was even sent from Froman’s Citibank email address (rookie!) and includes “A list of African American, Latino and Asian American candidates, broken down by Cabinet/Deputy and Under/Assistant/Deputy Assistant level, plus a list of Native American, Arab/Muslim American and Disabled American candidates.”

Apparently Obama wasn’t as worried about placing women in senior-level positions but Froman decided to offer up some suggestions anyway.
