Populism

If the people saying Obama needs to change his tactics and become a vocal leader are right, this seems like a great political opportunity to deflect from the health care setback. With some financials posting billions in profit while the economy is still in the tank, he can really ride the populist wave and shame the people in Congress who would stand in the way of financial reform. He would be smart to use his "transparent" shtick and shine a light on the people that are obviously bought by the industry.
