43. There was an awful lot of corruption on the Street in the '20s and '30s, but
FDR never really took them down, even after a group around Morgan Bank and Brown Bros. Harriman (including Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker) were caught plotting a coup in '34.

If Obama refuses to go after them, he's following in a long tradition. Maybe, in 2052 we'll be facing another Bush Presidency.
