On corporate extravagance: "Those days are over." On the public anger over the bailouts: "I promise you - I get it." These were marshaled in the service of public education: Obama explained why, despite the despicable behavior of the bankers, the system had to be salvaged. If houses and cars were to be bought, if businesses were to make payrolls, loans...
