It's even worse than you think

Rolling Stone's contributing editor Matt Taibbi is back this month with what might turn out to be the most important piece of American journalism since the last time Taibbi wrote about the hijacking of the American financial system in the pages of the magazine two months ago.

In "Obama's Big Sellout," soon to be published by the magazine, Taibbi will detail how Wall Street demon hustlers Michael Froman, Robert Rubin, and Timothy Geithner were handed the keys to the Obama White House last year on November 5th, just one day after the election, and at the replacement cost of many of the progressive campaign activists who helped to get Obama elected. Taibbi's research will certainly uncover and detail that the Barack Obama of "Hope" and "Change" was a cardboard cutout and counterfeit presidential choice to make the Manchurian Candidate look like Mr. Smith.

Publication has been delayed by recent legislation being rushed through Congress, but on Rolling Stone's website, Taibbi discusses his investigation on video.
