Why Can't Obama Bring Wall Street to Justice? - Newsweek and The Daily Beast

This might not have been so obvious when the article was written back in May, but investment bankers have not been supporting Obama this year. Whatever the reason—maybe bitterness over Dodd-Frank, maybe the appearance of a candidate whom Wall Street trusts as one of their own—Goldman can no longer be called a crony of the White House.

In fact, if there's a political motive in the non-prosecutions, that could very well be it: that the Obama people are too scared of pissing off Wall Street more than they already have.
