You might think a president who sings the praises of Occupy Wall Street and fans the flames of class warfare would appoint someone besides Jacob Lew to be his Chief of Staff. Why? Because Lew “made Millions at Citibank” betting against the US housing market, and his hedge fund’s activities “helped precipitate the economy’s downfall.” All the while getting a bonus of about $950,000 right after the US bailed out Citibank.*

And the Washington Post has reported that, despite his constant demonization of “fat cats” on Wall Street, President Obama is still far ahead of the Republicans in terms of taking campaign cash from the financial sector. But, if we are going to have raging hypocrite in the White House, at least we might as well a little fun with the situation, and that is the point of this satirical video.
