It's a shame Occupy the Cabinet had a three year start on Occupy Wall Street
Hamilton Project hacks and other Rubin acolytes such as tax-dodging, see-no-evil Bush-appointed Tim Geithner, or that debaser of meaningful regulation, Larry Summers, whose stint at D.E. Shaw and speaking engagements at Goldman and other investment banks earned him the wages of many upper middle class lifetimes in recent years.

There's Daley, Rahm, Patterson, the list continues. It's a damn shame, in my opinion, that Goldman and Citigroup impresario Rubin had such influence with Obama, from so early as 2006. Certainly it would be difficult to argue the president and the country would not be better off without such influence.

2. Then again, I still don't get it how Summers EVER got another job
After his "girls can't do math" rant. I mean, this from a college president?

4. Seriously...
I imagine a few girlies at Harvard could handle math quite well.

To have those bizarre viewpoints--while at Harvard--is a whole lot of crazy.
