A top reporter exposes the deep ties between the Obama administration and the big banks that are bankrupting our country.

As the recession continues, President Obama has chastised the "fat cats" who feast off government bailout money while unemployment remains high and smaller businesses struggle.

But according to Gasparino, Obama is faking his outrage, and his calls for new policies to rein in banks that are "too big to fail" are just pabulum. In reality, Obama has climbed into bed with Wall Street CEOs, giving them what they want so they will support his liberal, big-government agenda. As a result, the big banks responsible for the credit crisis get rescued, while small businesses and ordinary Americans get crushed by higher taxes and irresponsible spending.

Gasparino draws on interviews with dozens of key CEOs and political players to trace the roots of Wall Street's twisted love affair with one of the most liberal presidents in American history. He shows how, for decades, big banks and big business have colluded with big government, thereby laying the groundwork for today's shady dealings, and how the same bankers Obama now publically reprimands have supported him-not because he promises change, but because he promises business.

Written in Gasparino's characteristic smart yet no-nonsense style, this book is both an exposé and a wake-up call to all Americans to strike back against the people and policies that are ruining our country.

贾斯巴里诺目前是福克斯商业网（Fox Business Network）的资深记者，同时是《比斯特日报》（The Daily Beast）的专栏作家。他还经常为《纽约邮报》、《福布斯》和其他出版物撰写稿件。

贾斯巴里诺是第一位踢爆华尔街大骗局的名记者，曾著有畅销书《华尔街的污点︰华尔街股票分析师欺骗一代投资者的惊人内幕》（Blood On the Street: The Sensational Inside Story of How Wall）。

该书以引人入胜的方式，纪录华尔街大投资银行兼券商，在有史以来最严重的弊案和骗局中，如何造成一般投资人重大亏损。

贾斯巴里诺多年来对华尔街几个重要分析师的跟踪调查关系密切，正是他在《华尔街日报》头版的报道中首先公开了调查结论，提出对几大顶级商业银行冲突性分析的置疑，从而震惊全美，引至纽约州总检察长着手进行正式调查，最终使这桩历史上最大的诈财骗局大白于天下。
