Below is an NNDB map I made showing the companies and institutions which President -elect Barack Obama’s (mostly) financial advisors have ties to. Now you might say, “well, I’m sure the Clinton and Bush administration advisors were at least as tied in.” Yeah, but once again, my point is this- how much change and how much business as usual can we expect/ hope for here?

Here’s a linked list of the individuals who tied in with all of those institutions, companies, etc.
Eric Schmidt
Antonio Villaraigosa

Laura Tyson
David Bonior
Robert Rubin
Joseph Biden
Jennifer Granholm
