Bracing for a Populist Bailout Backlash

"The Obama administration is increasingly concerned about a populist backlash against banks and Wall Street, worried that anger at financial institutions could also end up being directed at Congress and the White House and could complicate President Obama’s agenda."

We are beyond anger. I have written my senators, congressmembers. My Senator, Feinstein, D-California, in late October, responsed to my email against the bailout, with words that basically said "she knew better" and that is why she voted for the bailout.

So beyond anger, I am feeling hopeless and powerless.
