PBS FRONTLINE: Money, Power and Wall Street

As Wall Street innovated, its revenues skyrocketed, and financial institutions of all stripes tied their fortunes to one another. FRONTLINE probes deeply into the story of the big banks -- how they developed, how they profited, and how the model that produced unfathomable wealth planted the seeds of financial destruction.

I've seen many vidz about this, but very rarely do they interview the people who actually took part in this mess. Over all, Frontline did a very good job of stating "Wall Street got bailed out, and Main Street didn't". Somehow, I get the sense though that, Obama was taking decisions, and was being updated as if anticipation of his presidency was certain. I can't help but think a bigger picture was with held from us.
