Reclama! interviews John Perkins: "In 'Hoodwinked,' you state that the corporatocracy's candidate did not win the 2008 presidential elections. Given what you've just said, and that Obama received more money from Wall Street than McCain, do you still agree with that statement? John Perkins: I think the corporatocracy has a lot of control all along the line and although they might've preferred to see McCain win, when Obama began to establish himself as a popular candidate, they immediately stepped in and supported his campaign financially. So they were supporting both. Big money - Wall Street, big agribusinesses, many of the other big corporations - were supporting both candidates. So by the time Obama got elected, he may not have been the corporatocracy's first choice, but they had a lot of leverage over him by then, through campaign financing, and, also, as soon as he gets into office, as I just said earlier, he was read the riot act, and he knows that they can take him down very easily."
