Evidently not.
In 2008, some of us who voted for President Obama were voting for change; not just change in the non-financial areas of governance (e.g., environment, education, energy, etc.) but in the equally and possibly more important areas of finance and economics.
So, what financial/economic changes should the Obama Administration implement?
To try and answer the question posited above is probably a futile effort.
Futility aside, Robert Scheer's Truthdig article, "Obama's Toxic Advisers" is instructive on this subject of financial and economic change.
"Bernie Sanders, the senator from Vermont who is independent in spirit as well as party label, has placed a hold on President Obama’s nomination of Gary Gensler to head the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Sounds like a minor issue to get worked up about, but the senator is right. Like most Americans, I am eager for Barack Obama to succeed, but I see this appointment as further evidence that the president has entrusted his economic policy to the wrong people." Robert Scheer
Additionally, Josh Gerstein's Politico article, "Summers to brief guests at a $5,000-a-head WSJ conference" should serve as a ominous, Cheney-like (sorry for the repetition) deja vu moment.
"National Economic Adviser Larry Summers conducted a private briefing at the White House Tuesday afternoon for about 100 financial industry executives attending a $5,000-a-head conference sponsored by the Wall Street Journal." Josh Gerstein
"The White House said the event is considered 'closed press' and one in a series of briefings by administration officials." Josh Gerstein
A series of White House financial/economic briefings are to be held. Hopefully the general public (e.g., labor, manufacturing, retail, consumer organizations, etc.) will be included in these briefings, and that the Obama Administration will not limit participation to only the financial industry.
To not include the public as part of these briefings would be like establishing energy policy with only the Big Oil companies as advisers - been there, done that.
James K. Galbraith offers some constructive ideas on how to handle today's financial/economic issues. In his Washington Monthly article, "No Return to Normal: Why the economic crisis, and its solution, are bigger than you think?" Galbraith highlights such actionable items as reorganizing and re-regulating banks, establishing effective compensation limits, downsizing the banks, and increasing Social Security benefits - not cutting them.
