Possibility #1--Paying off deals previously made, perhaps? (For God-knows-what---I don't see what he got from Wall st).

#2--Unresistable pressure from the GOP? (hard to believe, IMO)

#3--Obama is a neoliberal Milt Friedman disciple/U Of Chicago man at heart.

I tend to lean towards a combination of #1 and #3.

Please tell me if I am missing something here, and Obama is actually a brilliant Progressive
behind the neoliberal disguise. He certainly has me fooled , in that case.
