'Bottom-Up'

When Barack Obama first ran for president in 2008, the country was in crisis. We were engaged in multiple wars, and the economy was in recession. Obama made many promises during that campaign, all of which can be summed up in one word: "change." Change was at the heart of the movement he was leading, particularly in terms of economic reform. He drew a clear distinction between Wall Street and Main Street, arguing that the deregulation of Wall Street had led to the financial crisis that caused the Great Recession.
