Barack Obama calls his transition website change.gov, and his campaign slogal used “change” about a million times, so I am utterly flummoxed — and disgusted — by his selection of Mary Schapiro as SEC chairman, to replace the horrendous Chris Cox.
What that signals to me is that Obama wants no change at all in the desultory regulatory apparatus that has utterly failed the American people. Either that, or he is a victim of a con job that would do Bernie Madoff proud by his establishmentarian finance advisors.
