The key scene in Frontline’s recent and not particularly hard-hitting (except for the music of course) “Money, Power and Wall Street” was, in my opinion, when Obama called all the CEO’s in to the White House and told them “We have a PR crisis on our hands”.

Not a financial crisis, not a regulatory crisis, a PR crisis.

you’re getting. If this latest incident isn’t enough to convince Congress that real
reform is needed, nothing will.
