Even better, he's been an adviser to Tim Geithner. In retrospect, voters should have simply voted for Hillary instead of this bait-and-switch administration. About the last thing working Americans need at this point is yet another Clinton team member who partnered with the GOP to deregulate Wall Street but that's obviously the path that Obama wants to take. This administration keeps heading in the wrong direction, but it's unfortunately nothing new.
Some liberal Democrats see Sperling as too close to Wall Street because of work he has done as a consultant and because he was at the NEC during a period of financial deregulation under former President Bill Clinton.
Sperling helped put together the $858 billion tax-cut deal hammered out late last year and has helped focus attention on small-business issues within the administration.
