Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., talks to OurFuture.org about President-elect Barack Obama's request to Congress to release the second installment of Wall Street bailout funds. Grijalva, the new co-chairman of the House Progressive Caucus, says that while Obama has made good promises about how he will handle the $350 million in funds, "I think we can do more." Grijalva calls for more accountability and transparency than the public has received from the Bush administration. Grijalva had made a presentation to the Tuesday Group, organized by the Campaign for America's Future.
