This is the real power of POTUS that never gets properly addressed before the votes are cast. I took a moment to read Biden's Wikipedia page back in '08 and was struck how at odds his record was compared to Obama's promises. I still voted for them(the 1st time). Shortly afterward, Obama retained Gates & Geitner for his cabinet...same as it ever was. The Donald will continue to entertain and foment reactions, but biz will go on usual(perhaps worse, we'll see). We never really had much of a choice between the bankers' BFF and the used car salesman, they were selected before they were elected.
