Where exactly is the "about-face" here? Clearly these idiots at Rolling Stone weren't paying attention.

 Barack Obama as a man of the people against Wall Street? Is that why Obama's total top campaign contributors included Goldman Sachs, Citigroup Inc, JPMorgan Chase & Co, UBS AG, Morgan Stanley, et al.?  

Is that why Obama was one of the leading shills for the passage of the Bush-Obama-Paulson Wall Street 'bailout' scheme?

Obama epic failed on TARP. But this was before the election, and McCain even more epically failed on it. American politics is an election between those who help the elites, and those who help the elites even more.
And Obama was the latter. That's why he got (s)elected. As I recall Ralph Nader pointing out, 2008 was the first election in history in which the Democratic candidate got more corporate money than the Republican candidate.

anyone who becomes president has to stand for the Presidency not his partisan ideology. And Nader would be no different. But I dont like Ideologues, they live in a world all to themselves. And Nader would be like reagan, old and senile in the White house, just without the sense of humour. And Obama is nothign like Bill, he is faithful to his wife. lol. I could just imagine Nader running against Ron Paul. Two extremists on the tickets...fun , fun.. 

Nothign wrong with the President beign pragmatic.
Just stream of consciousness rambling here? Is there any point to this?
