Is U.S. President Barack Obama a friend of Wall Street, which is the corporate sector or the average American Joe, also known as the everyday people. The film "The Obama Deception" labels him, "The most Wall Street president in U.S. history."

Decisions President Obama has made, such as not increasing taxes on the rich, though the nation needs the money, indicates he is more of a friend to the wealthy in the corporate sector, than the average Joe trying to make it on much smaller salaries, such as minimum wage and those in lower-middle income brackets.

Has this helped America? No. The anemic economy, with ongoing massive job losses, millions of people giving up on finding work after trying for a significant period of time, foreclosures and bank failures, indicate it has not worked. President Obama has not had success in restoring the economy to its former glory, which is not impossible, as other nations are making strong strides even in these tough economic times.

Former Presidents, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, understood it was wise to keep a safe distance from Wall Street, only providing a supporting role and different degrees of regulation, lest they get swept up in a world of constantly issuing favors for the ingratiating rich, while the poor pay the price. It's a lesson President Obama would do well to observe and it is a shame he did not do so from year one of his presidency.
