Item DescriptionBought and Paid For: The Unholy Alliance Between Barack Obama and Wall Street. A top reporter exposes the deep ties between the Obama administration and the big banks that are bankrupting our country. As the recession continues, President Obama has chastised the “fat cats” who feast off government bailout money while unemployment remains high and smaller businesses struggle. But according to Gasparino, Obama is faking his outrage, and his calls for new policies to rein in banks that are “too big to fail” are just pabulum. In reality, Obama has climbed into bed with Wall Street CEOs, giving them what they want so they will support his liberal, big-government agenda. As a result, the big banks responsible for the credit crisis get rescued, while small businesses and ordinary Americans get crushed by higher taxes and irresponsible spending. Gasparino draws on interviews with dozens of key CEOs and political players to trace the roots of Wall Street’s twisted love affair with one of the most liberal presidents in American history. He shows how, for decades, big banks and big business have colluded with big government, thereby laying the groundwork for today’s shady dealings, and how the same bankers Obama now publically reprimands have supported him-not because he promises change, but because he promises business. Written in Gasparino’s characteristic smart yet no-nonsense style, this book is both an exposé and a wake-up call to all Americans to strike back against the people and policies that are ruining our country.

Gasparino’s latest is the exact reason I read his books.
He comes off as a hard hitting type and at first I wasn’t used to his kind of reporting/writing.
As time goes on Wall Street and Washington seems like a bad movie these days….Gasparino is dead on and calls it the way it is.
For anyone afraid of the truth…wake up and read this !!!
More reporters and “news” networks should step up and tell it the way it is…..good going Gasparino !!!…keep it up you’re in the majority.
Bought And Paid For is Gasparino at his best.As a liberal, its always refreshing to read how conservatives see the big picture.
What an eye opener. Not so surprising when you think about it. Obama’s actions, especially the so called stimulus package, have alienated him from many of the people who voted for him. Now that we’ve moved into Fall, whatever happened to the “recovery summer” we were promised? Unemployment of the people continues around ten percent and the Banks seem to have “recovered” beyond all expectations. Gasparino offers insight into where Obama seeks to shore up his falling power. He’s lost much of the populace with what he’s done and now turns to the money people to make up for what his failed policies have cost him in popular support. Politics makes for strange bedfellows . . . as Gasparino tells it maybe it’s not so strange to find this failing president has gotten into bed with big money.
A thoughtful, carefully investigated and documented contribution by Mr. Gasparino, this eye opening look at financial chicanery should help us all to understand what is really goning on. Never was the axiom “the first step to solving a problem is to recognize it” more true. Of course, that requires objectivity, not party line sheep.
I really don;t care who this guy works for, facts are facts, no matter where they come from. This country is not on a good path, and needs to be exposed and turned around. These types of books help clearify, and point at the problems, no matter who writes them. I loved it, and couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. Cheers T
