Yeh its certainly not a partisan issue.

And in mid-December Peter Orszag joined Citi as vice chairman of the investment-banking division
Of all the financial joints in the world, he had to choose the megabank whose unmatched combination of incompetence and recklessness led it to seek some $45 billion in government aid? He had to go to the place that best emphasizes the corrosive relationship between Wall Street and Democratic Party elites? (Citi is where Robert Rubin got paid a ton for hanging his hat after serving as Clinton’s Treasury secretary.) Worse, at the time Orszag was negotiating with Citi, Treasury still owned a huge chunk of the bank’s shares.
That was 4 months after leaving the Obama Administration. <shrug>
